Daniela Forever

Daniela Forever opens with a flashback about the present and only makes sense later in the movie. This was appropriate because now the narrative is terrible, considering that the protagonist of the film, Nicolas (portrayed by Henry Golding from Crazy Rich Asians), lost his girlfriend, foddering off with whom this film is adorned. After the […]

Abuse and mental illness is something you will often find in horror movies. This is such a smart way. This gives an opportunity to the victims and the audience to understand what they face on the daily basis.

Mars

The ambitious animated Mars has finally made its way to the big screen, but it has taken the Whitest Kids U’ Know comedy troupe over a decade, and they do not disappoint the audience. The film explains the group’s audacious humor while at the same time taking obvious inspirations from the works of James Cameron

Shadow Land

Shadow Land

Shadow Land is the third and probably the final film for stuntman turned director James Bamford that was released over the last few months. The first two films, Air Force One Down and Jade, were, to put it mildly, well disappointing, therefore the question, does the third time work for him or is this yet

Good Bad Things

Good Bad Things

“Good Bad Things” is a personal, simple story about the enormous problem that we all face and fear: the need to be acknowledged and accepted and the prevailing sentiment as to how people would accept them. It is written by Shane D. Stanger who is a lifelong friend of the actor and writer Danny Kurtzman
