Shining Vale had potential: haunted house, troubled heroine, and some family drama sprinkled in for flavor. But instead of giving us spooky fun, it dusts off the ol’ “crazy woman” trope and asks us to enjoy watching a mom spiral into madness. Spoiler alert: it’s not that fun. With gaslighting, victim-blaming, and a finale that makes The Babadook look like a warm hug, this show turns its leading lady into the ultimate villain… of her own life. Ghosts? Optional. Regret? Guaranteed. Read More …

Hold Your Breath promises a spooky tale of dust, doom, and drifters, but instead, it just dusts off some tired old tropes. Gaslighting? Check. A “crazy” woman who just can’t be trusted? Check. A mysterious Grey Man who might just be her mental breakdown in disguise? Triple check. It’s less about chills and more about the thrill of watching a capable woman unravel, one cow-feeding mishap at a time. If you’ve ever felt like the villain in your own life story, Hold Your Breath has got you covered… with condescension and laudanum. Read More …

Ever wonder how a movie starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt could be… boring? Wolfs pulls off that impossible feat by turning 90 minutes of action-comedy into a marathon of “fuck yous.” Think of it like watching two drunk dads argue at a BBQ. Spoiler: We deserved better. Read More …

In Dragon Age: Absolution, they didn’t just crank a story about a heist in Tevinter—I threw in the emotional rollercoaster of family. Not the cuddly, warm kind either; more like the “who the hell are these people?” type. Add a sprinkle of side quests that make you rethink your life choices, and you’ve got more than just a quest for an artefact. This one’s about finding trust in unexpected places—and probably losing it just as fast. Side note: Who knew chaos could be so relatable?

In Borderlands, chaos reigns supreme, and not even a loot chest can save you from the WTAF narrative. Lilith, played by Cate Blanchett, is back on Pandora, looking for a girl who might have the key to—you know what? The plot doesn’t matter. Brace for a run-down on this year’s best example of poor decision-making. Hashtag all the insanity. Read More …

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle heads off on a video game adventure, where awkward teens get trapped in avatars way cooler than they are. It’s geeky, hilarious, and surprisingly deep, tackling friendship and self-acceptance while Dwayne Johnson flexes his pecs, Kevin Hart funnels raw energy from the sun, Jack Black channels his inner teenage girl, and Karen Gillan proves that jungle chic is a thing. It’s a reboot that actually works, blending action, comedy, and enough 90s nostalgia to make you feel renewed. Who knew jungle peril could feel this good? Read More …

Dev Patel’s Monkey Man is more than an action-packed revenge story—it’s a bold commentary on modern power structures.

The film blends stunning fight scenes with spiritual themes, exploring the consequences of unchecked power and collective struggle. With villains embodying societal anxieties and a hero’s journey rooted in hope and sacrifice, Monkey Man asks us: Will we challenge the gods of today or settle for the scraps they offer? Read More …

I’m digging into The Union, Netflix’s latest action flick with Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry. Despite the star power, this film is a wild ride of confusing plot twists, clumsy storytelling, and some head-scratching moments. I’m breaking down where it all went wrong. Think Drunken Master—but without the mastery. If you’re wondering why The Union left you puzzled, you’re not alone! Read More …

Prey, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, revitalises the Predator franchise by returning to the core of what makes a survival narrative compelling: simplicity and heroism. Set in 1719, it follows Naru, a young Comanche woman, as she defies tradition to protect her tribe from an alien predator. The film’s strength lies in its cultural authenticity and focus on a new kind of hero—one who blends intelligence, tradition, and courage. Prey isn’t just an action movie; it’s a statement on representation, honour, and the timeless quest for recognition and belonging. Read More …
