Movie Review: 'Kate' Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Kate stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the title character, Kate, an assassin for hire under the guidance of Varrick, played by Woody Harrelson. Kate’s newest assignment is to take out the brother of a major Japanese criminal syndicate, possibly the Yakuza though that’s not made entirely clear. The hit job is complicated when the target’s daughter, a teenager named Ani (Miku Martineau), arrives at the location of the hit with her father.

My Review of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings"
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is Marvel's latest movie entry to phase four of their infamous Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). There have been rumblings about this movie for a long time. I think ever since Black Panther had come out there were cries out for an Asian Marvel superhero. We finally have him and his name is Shang-Chi.

Movie Review: 'Giddy Stratospheres' Starring Laura Jean Marsh
Giddy Stratospheres was written by, directed by and stars Laura Jean Marsh as Lara, a well known and well loved London party girl. Lara fancies herself a club promoter though evidence of her actual job is hard to come by. We meet Lara as she is awakening from a one night stand and heading to her favorite local pub for perhaps another one night stand as such trivialities are common to her life, as her best friend Daniel (Jamal Franklin) indicates.

In Defense of The Hobbit Films
The first time I watched The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I turned it off halfway through. I was fresh off of reading the book, and I decided I had had enough of the pale orc.

Movie Review: 'Queenpin' Starring Kristen Bell
Queenpins stars Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste as bored suburbanite besties who decide to turn their love of coupons into a side business. Of course, if that was all that they did, there would not be a movie made about them. Thus, as Connie and JoJo, Bell and Howell-Baptiste, launch a minor criminal enterprise in order to sell illegal coupons on the internet until they are tracked down by a loss prevention specialist and a Postal Inspector.

Documentary Review: 'Lily Topples the World'
One of my favorite modern internet things is the evolution of the word wholesome. Wholesome has been adopted by online culture as a content category, a safe space for earnest, sweet, and gentle, feel good stories. Searching for content on Twitter you can find people praising wholesome content left and right, often animal videos or old people being cute or babies dancing. Wholesome content can even strive to be more than merely viral.

Growing up in a world of fantasy in order to get away from the darkness that was my real world, that still IS the real world; was never easy. I think I can vouch for a lot of us other worldly folk, out in the realms of imagination, when I say that. Sometimes it is all we have when real life can’t seem to give us the desire to dream. Sometimes the real world is far too much to handle with the hostility it endeavors. Sometimes we need an escape, even for a little bit.. so we delve into the fantasy worlds that make us, us. The worlds that really feel like home, that take us in and nourish us into something happy and forgiving. Worlds that seem more real, then not. For me, that world is Avatar, or Pandora

Codes of honour in John Wick 3: Parabellum
Why do I like John Wick 3? To begin with, and one eventually does, the title pays attention to the word. The word, understood not merely in its stupidity, as some petrified object cast in stone, which has nothing to do with stone, but is a metaphor for how it is understood. Parabellum, I learn is from the second half of a Latin phrase ‘Si vis pacem, para bellum’ which translates to ‘if you want peace prepare for war’. I suppose one may hypothesise that there is something which happens when a word becomes a name, even if, as in this case - the name for a bullet. It looses some of the context from which it rises from and becomes a placeholder, a tag for something else whose relation to the utterance in question remains, for the most of it, completely arbitrary. John Wick 3 is a film that, while very much a gun-fu movie, does not facilitate such a procedure, or rather does not facilitate it as such.

"Kate" REVIEW
In July of 2002, Matt Damon stepped into the role of Jason Bourne, the world's deadliest assassin. In June of the same year, Tom Hanks played the part of Michael Sullivan in Road to Perdition, the world's deadliest hitman. 2003 brought us Kill Bill and Uma Thurman's infamous and exceptionally-deadly character, the Bride.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "The Hands of Orlac" (1924)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.
