The Slumber Party’s premise is basically the PG version of The Hangover. Four friends are having a slumber party, and invite a hypnotist over, because why not? The hypnotist, played by the always entertaining Tituss Burgess, is actually legit, so the four girls find themselves hypnotized into a night of revelry and fun. Just like The Hangover, the next day they wake up with no memory of the night before, and their friend Anna Maria is missing. The stakes are […]

Crater depicts the story of a boy named Caleb (Isaiah Russell-Bailey), a teenager in 2257. He lives on the moon, as many of Earth have since moved there to mine for resources, following humanity’s failure to colonize it. But once on the moon, these people soon dream of moving to another planet called Omega. See, they take these jobs as miners and work for 20 years on the moon, in order to afford to go to Omega. Caleb’s father was […]

It’s not hyperbole to say that a lot of people are ready for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, particularly since we will probably never see most of these characters again. At least until Disney fires up the remake machine in 10 or 15 years. For now, you’re ready to see James Gunn and company conclude the story of the ragtag misfit gang of heroes known as the Guardians of the Galaxy. And if you can’t see GOTG Vol. 3 […]

What is there left to say about the Disney live-action remakes at this point? Almost every criticism directed towards one of them could be applied to another. They’re boring, lifeless, and pale imitations of their animated counterparts. Criticizing one almost feels redundant considering how the one before it was probably terrible for the same reasons too. As such, it’s hard to come up with anything new to say about Disney’s latest live-action remake, Peter Pan & Wendy. Just like Pinocchio, […]

It’s no secret that teen rom-coms from the 80s contain aspects that we now view as problematic. Common mentions include Allison’s makeover in The Breakfast Club, which Ally Sheedy herself labelled “uncomfortable”, and dream boat Jake Ryan handing off his drunk girlfriend to Farmer Ted as some kind of reward in Sixteen Candles. They were products of a different time, but it’s difficult to enjoy the more charming sides of these movies without also grappling with the sexist themes and […]

Disney has always been the go-to platform for coming of age movies. Other platforms are definitely giving them a run for their money, but there’s been something quite special about the recent ones, like Better Nate Than Ever and Hollywood Stargirl. The stories are more diverse, for sure, but the idea of dreams has also become more varied and nuanced. Chang (Bloom Li) loves basketball. The very first day of school and he’s wearing a basketball jersey. Yet, despite this […]

The 2000s were a bad time for Walt Disney Animation Studios. Many of their films were turning in disappointing box office results, mostly negative critic reviews, or both. What was once the world’s biggest animation company was now being overshadowed by the likes of Dreamworks and even Disney’s own Pixar. However, the 2008 film Bolt began a new era for Disney, one where Disney’s animated movies were seeing constant success both financially and critically. With the latest film being Strange […]

If you were a kid growing up during the 2000s, Night at the Museum was probably one of your favorite film franchises. While an animated sequel to the trilogy wasn’t necessary, it also wasn’t a hard sell. Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again offers a fun, short, and sweet time for both kids and adult fans of the franchise. The film follows Larry’s son Nick (Joshua Bassett) becoming the new Night Guard at the Museum of Natural History while […]

For those who came of age during the late 80s and early 90s, few Christmas movies are as beloved as the 1990 comedy classic Home Alone. Directed by Chris Columbus and written by John Hughes, the movie was an immediate hit and has since become essential viewing for the holidays. The good news for those hoping to stream Home Alone during the 2022 holiday season is that you have several choices available.   Where Can I Watch Home Alone with […]

What do Darby and the Dead, Enola Holmes and Honor Society all have in common? They all have sprightly female protagonists who narrate their own stories and break the fourth wall. This means of storytelling isn’t exactly new, but it has grown fashionable of late since the popularity of Fleabag, since we even have it happening in the recent adaptation of Austen’s Persuasion. After a near-death experience, Darby (Riele Downs) comes back from the dead with a new gift: she […]

Walt Disney once said: “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse.” He’d be delighted that today it’s practically impossible to look through his company’s history without acknowledging the impact of the character that became its glorified mascot. Mickey has become a cultural phenomenon and one of the most well known—cartoon characters ever, and because of this reach, his history stretches expansively. It’s impossible to fit it all into a […]

It’s been 15 years since Enchanted dazzled our eyes and hearts. It had everything going for it: a fish out of water Giselle trying to adapt to a world so different from Andalasia, the handsome, cynical man who falls in love with her, and a memorable villain who provided considerable stakes. I watched it in the cinema as an 18 year old surrounded by a crowd of mostly adults, and everyone enjoyed the movie so thoroughly. Needless to say, that […]

We love to talk about why there are so many horror movies featuring demonic or otherworldly possession. Stories of demonic possession go back centuries, with everything from the Roman Ritual of 1614 to the novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde touching on our fear of completely losing control to something powerful and insidious. This collection of the best possession horror movies ever made barely scratches the surface of what’s out there. Possession horror movies get a […]

The original Hocus Pocus garnered a cult following for a reason: it was pure Halloween cheesiness with enough laughs to make it a staple watch during the spooky season. Of course, it was released during July which contributed to its disappointing box office outcome, but Disney made sure not to make the same mistake again with its sequel. Hocus Pocus 2 is here just in time for Halloween, and while the film is still great fun, it unfortunately falls short […]

After the disappointment of Shane Black’s The Predator in 2018, the future of the Predator franchise seemed in danger. The two planned sequels were quietly cancelled, and suggestions of another movie were met with audible groans from the fandom. And yet, an original concept of taking a Predator back to a historical setting quickly surprised fans and critics alike by reinvigorating the franchise, earning positive comparisons to the original. With the success of Prey, set around a Comanche warrior on […]
