  • Disney’s Lilo & Stitch Review: A Perfect Blend of Nostalgia and Heart

When the first film was announced, it sparked a wave of skepticism, particularly due to the initial design of Sonic, which was widely criticised. However, after a massive redesign and a delay in its release, the film exceeded…

  • When Harry Misunderstood Sally: Can Men and Women Actually Be Just Friends?

    It’s that time of year when people cosy up at home and rewatch classics like When Harry Met Sally. I love the movie—it’s a pop culture staple that’s inspired so many other films, TV shows, and will-they-won’t-they friendships. But there’s one idea it pushes that I’ve never fully agreed with: Men and women can’t be…

  • Ben Stiller’s Nutcrackers Review: A Heartfelt but Predictable Holiday Tale

    Nutcrackers, starring Ben Stiller and Linda Cardellini, has finally arrived for audiences to enjoy.

  • Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Review: A Triumphant Return for the Beloved Horror Comedy Classic

    When it comes to horror comedies, it’s hard to beat classics like Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice. Given their nostalgic value and the strength of these IPs, it was inevitable we’d see new iterations. Ghostbusters had a rocky reboot in 2016 with an all-female cast but found its footing with Ghostbusters: Afterlife in 2021. Unfortunately, it stumbled…

  • The Fall Guy Review: A Hilarious Action-Packed Adventure

    The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Hannah Waddingham, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, has finally arrived on the big screen. Contrary to what the trailer shows, the film’s premise is not so straightforward.
