Terrifier 3: Santa’s Naughty List Just Got Longer - Art the Clown Joins Horror’s Hall of Fame

The Grinch is somewhere clutching his pearls, because Christmas got its most unwelcome visitor yet. Terrifier 3, Damien Leone's latest entry in the indie slasher franchise, takes Art the Clown—a mime with a knack for destruction—and catapults him straight into the ranks of iconic horror villains like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers. Except, unlike his slasher siblings, Art doesn’t just kill—he performs. And we, the audience, are his captivated victims. His diabolical, twisted a

Lonely at Christmas? The Holdovers is here to help.

Chistmas : a time for seeking warmth in the cold, at least traditionally. While we get physical warmth from good food and cozy scarves, the real highlight of the season is warming our hearts with thoughtful gifts and kind company. If I'm entirely honest, though, it feels like kind company is lacking these days, and not just for Christmas. I somehow feel increasingly alone, and I'm not the only one. It seems almost laughable, in the age of smartphones and social media, and yet it’s true. Why are

F*** Santa : 5 Anti-Santa Movies and Shows to Watch This Year

Look, for all the love I have for Christmas, I absolutely despise Santa. Jolly old man? More like nefarious symbol of capitalism, consumerism, and cultural imperialism. I can feel some sympathy for old Saint Nick - he didn’t ask to be turned into a marketing tool by Coca-Cola. But what’s done is done, and Santa sucks now. If you’re like me and can’t stand the sight of Santa anymore (or just want to watch something a little different this holiday season), this is the list for you : 5 films and ep

Wonka: Not a Prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but a Departure from It

Finally, Wonka is out. At first glance, this movie, which tells the backstory of Willy Wonka from the classic children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, seems pretty charming. It's got Hollywood's current top dude, Timothée Chalamet, as the main lead; Wonka's director is also none other than Paul King, the man behind the Paddington series. In the trailer, we see all sorts of fancy candies and cool gadgets, a young and happy Wonka, and those mysterious yet adorable Oompa Loompas, all hint

"A Christmas Carol": If life could start over, how do you plan to live?

"To my knowledge, in the long course of a year, it is only during this season that men and women seem to open their tightly closed hearts simultaneously." - Charles Dickens, "A Christmas Carol" First, I wish all readers a Merry Christmas! Speaking of Christmas, I have to mention the classic and iconic work, "A Christmas Carol." Coming from the pen of the British literary giant Charles Dickens, it is also my favorite work by Dickens. This work tells the story of a miserly character, Scrooge, who,

"Happiest Season": Maintained a family-friendly tone without resorting to clichés or creating unnecessary commotion

Given the abundance of heterosexual holiday movies, the repetitive nature can become dull. Criticizing a specific 2020 movie within this realm seems unjust. The director's perspective is valid—lesbians, too, desire to partake in the Christmas celebrations and share their unique narratives. Everyone possesses their version of the story, and each one deserves acknowledgment and representation. The central idea of this movie is that coming out of the closet in the 2020s is still not easy. Most of t

The Holdovers: The Best New Christmas Movie of The Season

If it weren't for "The Holdovers,” I wouldn't have realized that the last time I saw Alexander Payne's direction was 6 years ago. The representative work of this 62-year-old director, "Sideways," is a favourite of many film fans. He and the Korean actress Sandra Oh got married but the couple filed a divorce three years later. Now he is married to a Greek literature scholar and has a daughter. Throughout his career, Oscars, Golden Palm Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs and more major awards frequentl

'The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special' is So Sweet

Following the culmination of the "Endgame," Marvel entered a phase marked by a sense of melancholy. The original line-up of MCU superheroes, who had been with us for a decade, began to step back. This ushered in the 4th phase, introducing teenage Avengers and the emergence of a new generation of superheroes in both films and television series. Unfortunately, this transition received negative reception, leading to a notable decline in Marvel's reputation during the 4th phase. "The Guardians of th

Exemplary works include "The Spanish Apartment" and its sequel "Russian Dolls," along with "Merry Christmas" (2005), which served as France's entry for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. These films aren't merely about filming across multiple European countries or featuring actors from diverse backgrounds. Instead, they depict the collision and gradual integration of European cultural histories through characters an

"I always knew that feelings of love would fade - just like old photographs. But for you... you will always remain in my heart, as you are in my last moment. Thank you, and goodbye." - Christmas in August I often hear people talking about how to end their lives extraordinarily on the day when the world ends. I find it a little funny.

"Elf": The Christmas-Themed Movies

As November rolls in, Christmas draws near. Christmas didn't hold much significance in China. The notions of Santa Claus stemmed from fairy tales alone. During New Year celebrations, the "lucky money" handed out by adults was simply a crumpled banknote, far removed from the picturesque scenes where children in other countries awoke to discover gifts nestled in elegant stockings. At that time, the concept of romance eluded us, yet we couldn't help but envy kids from foreign lands. With time passi
