The Witch (Circa 1966)
When I was a kid, one of the joys of my young life was coming home from school on a Friday night, knowing that if I had good marks in all my classes, I could stay up late and watch my two favorite shows. My first favorite was, hands down, Start Trek, but after it went off, there was a local show that I loved to watch, called "Shock Theater". You could find the title of the movie they were showing that night in the tv guide, so I had my nose in that magazine on Monday mornings, planning my weekend ahead.

Snow White: How 1 Trailer Destroyed a Movie
Last week, Disney dropped the latest teaser trailer for its highly anticipated Snow White remake, and the backlash was immediate and intense. With over 850,000 dislikes compared to only 70,000 likes, and a comment section filled with criticism, the teaser has become one of the most disliked trailers of all time. The film, already controversial, has been described by many as emblematic of everything wrong with Disney in 2024. It seems almost comical how Disney has managed to mishandle such a beloved story so badly.

Celebrity Gossip
Let’s get one thing straight—I’m not really into celebrity gossip. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. I mean, I have more important things to do, like work, adulting, and binge-watching Netflix. But if I’m being honest, I can’t help but get sucked into the latest Hollywood drama every now and then. It’s like junk food for the brain—completely unnecessary, but oh-so-satisfying.

Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.

The Crow Review: a horror story that cannot be fully understood
The 2024 remake of The Crow, directed by Rupert Sanders, fails to capture the essence that made the original film a beloved piece of cinema. This new version lacks the gritty style and atmosphere that defined the 1994 original, instead opting for a more generic and polished look.

Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In 2024
With popcorn and drinks in my hand, I settled in to watch Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, and it was a wild ride from start to finish. Set in the chaotic and lawless Kowloon Walled City, the film pulls you into a world where everyone is either a fighter, a schemer, or both. The story follows Cyclone, played by Louis Koo, a crime boss who is as charismatic as he is ruthless.
