We live in an age of cinematic remakes that tend to split opinions pretty drastically (remember Ghostbusters?!), but here’s an opinion that’s sure not to be too controversial: the 1999 Mummy franchise is utterly irreplaceable. At first when I heard that The Mummy was being rebooted in 2017 I was skeptical, but willing to give […]
After the Storm is the most recent film from the acclaimed director, Hirokazu Kore-da (Our Little Sister; Like Father, Like Son, Still Walking), subtly examines the philosophy behind the family dynamic between youthful hope and imagine and the realities of adulthood. The film opens with a mother (Krin Kiki) and daughter gearing up for a typhoon […]
Everyone who has seen Logan earlier this year knows it was a perfect swansong for Hugh Jackman in his most iconic role. It was a fantastic 17-year run that is unlikely to be repeated. Whilst it is debatable whether the role of Wolverine should be recast so soon, it will happen at some point: he is one […]

The #OscarsSoWhite controversy last year undeniably sparked some change — this year there were three movies with predominantly black casts in the running for Best Picture, and even a film about India! Though this is a move in the right direction, sadly racism and racial insensitive in Hollywood isn’t over. There’s a more insidious form […]
Logan has been hit with critics, having a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and our own Stanyo Zhelev gave it a positive review. It has already made over $437 million at the box office and is set to make more. The X-Men series has spanned 10 movies to this date and made just under $4.7 billion worldwide and at least two more […]
With Logan, Hugh Jackman officially says goodbye to the character he’s been playing for the last 17 years. The Wolverine was the role that launched Jackman into superstardom, and rightfully so. His turn as everyone’s favorite cigar-chomping, wise-cracking, adamantium claw-wielding mutant is held in high regard by both critics and fans alike, even if some […]
Happy Valentine Day. It’s that time of year of where the businesses market towards couples and hopeless romantics and make single people feel bad about their relationship status.
