It is safe to say that 2019 is not just the end of the decade but also the ending of massive movie franchises. April marked the ending of Marvel’s Infinity Saga with the massive Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Beside Marvel, Star Wars also joins with the release of Star Wars: The Rise

The first time I watched the trailer of The Farewell this past summer, I immediately began looking forward to the release of a movie that would parallel two viewpoints which, despite being very current, are still quite underrepresented in cinema: third-culture experiences and some East Asian (in this case China) values’ nuances. Although the premise of

Crickets, leaves rustling, footsteps- silence, and yet so much noise. A release of a teaser trailer has announced that the post-apocalyptic world that fears sound is returning to screens in March 2020! That being said, the trailer is only 30 seconds long- surely not enough to tell us anything about what we should expect. Arguably,

It has been several months since the release of Joker, the origin story of one of the most well-known villains in comic book history.

The Fare was not what I was expecting. The black and white opening scene caused a wave of nostalgia to rush over me. Gino Anthony Pesi plays Harris, the main character and a facetious taxi driver, who seems to be plucked fresh out of an early episode of The Twilight Zone. With his snarky remarks

Harpoon opens with an omniscient and sarcastic narrator setting the scene and explaining the dynamic of our three main characters, Jonah (Munro Chambers), Richard (Christopher Gray), and Sasha (Emily Tyra). Jonah and Richard are best friends but come from two very different backgrounds. Jonah’s painfully average and dealing with the recent death of his parents,

Timothee Chalamet has finally stepped out of coming-of-age movies into period pieces, beginning with The King. The film, produced and directed by David Michod, is beautifully and vividly shot, particularly the muddy battle scenes (I’ve never been one for them, but even I can agree on that), almost perfectly capturing Shakespeare’s vision for the Henriad plays despite the
