THE LONG WALK Review: A Ghost Story Told Through A Compelling, Emotive Sci-Fi Lens
I was recently able to view Mattie Do’s The Long Walk to review. I watched the film two days ago (had to wait several to post this review) and I still cannot stop thinking about it.
FISTFUL OF VENGEANCE Review: Netflix’s ‘Wu Assassins’ Sequel Feature Impresses Enough To Please The Fandom
Director Roel Reine’s latest return to martial arts and fantasy with Netflix’s Fistful Of Vengeance does a fine job of maintaining the same energy and flair of its preceding Wu Assassins series, and overall delivers largely on what fans can expect from a film headlined by Iko Uwais, an action star who broke ground more than ten years ago with some of the most elevated action cinema ever shot on camera.
Final Girls Berlin 2022 Review: Short Films Not So Short on Horror and Entertainment
Before writing for Film Combat Syndicate and beginning to cover awesome fests like the Final Girl Berlin Film Fest that happened last weekend, I never watched many film shorts. But now, after watching so many as part of covering film fests, I am beginning to really enjoy the art of the short film.
Final Girls Berlin 2021 Review: Frida Kempff’s KNOCKING
So, not to overshare too much, but I recently moved into an apartment and I have not lived this close to neighbors in many years. I was nervous before moving because I was worried about getting an upstairs apartment and making too much noise for my downstairs neighbors. I’ve seen Friends (so many times) and I didn’t want to be as noisy as Mr. Heckles thought Monica and Rachel were. I exercise, I love my Xbox Kinect, I have an Oculus, I love to play music and dance. All require movement. And would lead to noise. Luckily (or not), I got a downstairs apartment. And now I have to resist the urge to hit the ceiling with a broom when my upstairs neighbors are too loud. What’s the point of this?
FINAL GIRLS BERLIN 2022 Review: Kate Dolan’s YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER
Director Kate Dolan delivers an exceptional debut that’s been amply well-received by critics since its Toronto premiere late last year.
Final Girls Berlin 2022 Review: WE’RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD’S FAIR
I have a weird quirk that I need to share (I have several, but I’m only sharing this one): I don’t like to watch videos on social media. I am not into TikTok nor do I follow people on YouTube. If I click on an article on Facebook and a video starts playing, I immediately close it; I read quickly and would much rather read and ingest the information faster than the video is serving it.
CLEAN review – Adrien Brody Takes Out The Trash
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A quiet loner with a dark and violent history finds redemption by protecting an innocent child unfairly targeted by criminals. Oh, you have? What if I told you this anti-hero leads a quiet life that they narrate while driving around at night working a blue-collar job? You get it! Yeah, wait, I see your point- it is pretty similar to other stuff. In this one though, the main character has an ominous nickname from their mysterious past and at one point they reveal a massive back tattoo that really illustrates (get it?) how tough they are right before they start taking out the bad guys in cold-blooded fashion? Oh right! I forgot about those movies where they already did that. You see this concept’s different though because it’s going to feature an actor not normally known for action. It’ll really be a trip for the audience to see this award winner kick some ass on-screen. Right! Just like… oh, wait a minute. You have a point. Let me think.
2021 Reading Challenge: An Overview of my Top Reads
I spent a lot of last year immersed in books. According to Goodreads, I read 91 books. Twenty of those books were for the 2021 Reading Challenge my friend and I decided to participate in since we had so much fun doing a reading challenge the previous year.
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (2021) Review: New Dawn, Post Eclipse
With the conclusion of the last film FAR FROM HOME (2019) literally jeopardising Peter Parker’s double life, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (‘NWH’) creates the most turmoil for the long-suffering young superhero. NWH picks up where the last film left off, and with the whole world now privy to his secret identity Peter Parker has the unenviable task of balancing this revelation as well as its impacts on those nearest and dearest to him.
