Happy Death Day is one of the best blends of comedy and horror to hit the silver screen
October 30, 2017By: Jennifer Russell If you’re looking for a movie that combines comedy and horror, Happy Death Day is perfect for you. I went into Happy Death Day without knowing anything about the movie except that it is a time loop movie, and it ended up being one of the best films I’ve seen this year!

As mentioned, Happy Death Day is a time loop movie and the main character, Tree Gelbman, tries time and time again to prevent her own murder. Part way through the…

Logan Lucky is the best movie you didn’t know you wanted to see
October 17, 2017By: Yelin Gemma Lee I’m just going to come right out and say it: Logan Lucky is a fucking phenomenal movie. There was nobody more skeptical than me — the trailer was awful. I remember the first time I watched…

Dunkirk: the genius of Christopher Nolan
September 11, 2017By: Ana Maria Mejia Morales I usually don’t like action movies. Forgive my taste, but I truly believe that cinema, the seventh art, should be used for more than loud explosions, stunt men, and fragile masculinity. I usually apply this…

The Hitman’s Bodyguard: terrible plot, amazing actors

Tupac: the man and the myth
July 19, 2017By: Youeal Abera To simply call the late Tupac Shakur a ‘rapper’ would be horrendously incorrect and would fail to honour his legacy. Tupac was an artist, an intellectual, and a revolutionary. By the time of his death, at just…
