By Kevin Hoskinson Tenet, the latest film from director Christopher Nolan, is a film that offers both the best and the worst of his sensibilities. On the one hand, it’s a big-budget action-packed thriller with an interesting plot and gripping premise. On the other, it’s an overly complicated and convoluted narrative with so many twists and turns that you forget […]

By Staff Reports Every 40 seconds, someone in the world takes their own life. According to the WHO, 800,000 people take their own life every year- and the numbers are rising. In the US alone, suicide rates have increased significantly between 1999 and 2018. In 2018, over 10 million American adults considered taking their own life, more than 3 million […]
By Kevin Hoskinson In its short opening sequence,” Sundown” quickly establishes the tone for what’s to come. It’s a combination of the horrors of the real world and the fantastical creatures and stories of our imagination. It’s bazaar and straight out of a pulpy sci-fi novel. But within minutes, we are transported from this fever dream and into the real […]

By Kevin Hoskinson The Shudder original film Host is one of those movies that is truly of its time. It was filmed during the lockdown, and the story is told entirely over the meeting app Zoom. It’s one of those movies that people will look back on years from now and reminisce about the craziness that was 2020. It feels […]

By Jason T. Smith Creative Editor In 2012 the movie Bigfoot was released. Unfortunately, some missed this hidden gem the first time around, but thanks to Peacock, a streaming service brought to us by the good folks at Universal, fans of Sasquatch related films like myself now have the opportunity to watch it, with unfortunately being the keyword here. Bigfoot […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Tom Hanks. That’s all you need to know about this film. If anyone knows anything about the man outside of his Hollywood career, you know that he is a student of history and loves typewriters. That last fact has nothing to do with the movie, but he probably wrote it on a typewriter. Greyhound feels like what […]
By Kevin Hoskinson In January of this year, the film Palm Springs broke Sundance records by becoming the most expensive film ever purchased. It surpassed the previous record-holder, Fox Searchlights “Birth Of A Nation” in 2016, by a mere .69 cents. Once Neon and Hulu bought the film, the hype train got going, and people were curious about what made […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor The musical took the world by storm when it first released, boasting sell-out shows on every occasion. The production, created by Lin Manuel Miranda, tells the story of one of our founding fathers by way of lyrical exposition. I am so excited to finally review the story of the Ten Dollar founding father, Alexander Hamilton. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Going into this film, I knew absolutely nothing about its subject, Richard Lett. He’s a pretty big deal on the Vancouver, B.C. comedy scene, but not very well known in America and beyond. At the start, he’s described as Canada’s George Carlin, and that got me very interested to hear his story. Throughout the movie, we see […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Most people know who he is, and I can almost guarantee he has been in at least one movie you’ve seen in your lifetime. From him accidentally landing his first role in the film Runaway Train, to his leading role as the titular character in Machete, he’s been gracing our screens on a regular basis. He’s one […]

By Kevin Hoskinson The world of stand up comedy can sometimes make an excellent setting for a film. Comedians make interesting characters because they are often the most complex, and their on-stage persona is something of an act. It creates an interesting dynamic between their personal lives and their professional lives, so it can usually produce a great story. Films […]

By Kevin Hoskinson I checked out about twenty minutes into this disaster. With Colin Farrell and Dame Judy Dench starring, combined with the directing talents of Sir Kenneth Branagh, it should have been a recipe for success. Sadly, we are left with a plot that doesn’t go anywhere and a world full of flat, boring characters. The plot sounds pretty […]
