Movie
A Complete Unknown
As someone who likes Bob Dylan, I was excited when the movie was announced and my favorite actor, Timothee Chalamet, was starring as Bob. At first, I was skeptical. I was worried this movie would be given the "Elvis" movie treatment, where people overlooked Elviv's flaws and treated the movie and the man himself as a God. Austin Butler's voice also took a hit because of all the vocal training, and he had to relearn his vocal tone and cadence after the movie ended because of how much he had to learn to sound like Elvis.

'Nosferatu’ Review: A Sinister New Take on Dracula
With every new Dracula film, the main question that always arises is whether it’s scary. However, that’s not the most fitting inquiry for a story like Nosferatu. These films aren’t meant to scare in the typical horror movie sense. Instead, they are an exploration of moral decay, the grotesque, and the seductive pull of evil. In Robert Eggers’ latest reimagining of the Dracula tale, this theme is pushed to its extreme, with a villain so repulsive and captivating that it’s hard to look away.

A fond critique of "Miss Potter".
I found myself drawn to the quaint and imaginative movie of Beatrix Potter on Netflix. From the beginning of the movie, I was quite taken by the zest for life of the main character. A smile formed on my lips which remained for almost the entire show. Only briefly was this rather pleasing expression replaced by sadness at the scene of her deep loss and mourning. Soon though, I was again smiling at the effervescent performance of Renee Zellweger.

Why 'A Complete Unknown' Is the Must-See Film of the Year!
It was an unexpected delight to come home last Tuesday evening and discover, over dinner and while working on my exams, that I had won a pair of tickets to see an early screening of A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic. The screening was set for 7 p.m. the very next day at Banque Scotia Cinemas in Montreal, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone to join me at the last minute.

Dear Santa
"Dear Santa" is a holiday concoction that blends the Farrelly brothers' signature humor with Jack Black's devilish charm—quite literally. The film follows young Liam Turner, whose dyslexic mix-up leads to a letter addressed to "Satan" instead of "Santa," summoning Jack Black's Satan to grant him three wishes.
