Farewell Cineville
"Mike? I'm extremely excited." Photo by Felix Mooneeram on Unsplash The Cineville card is a scheme where you pay 21 euros a month (less if under 29 years of age) for a subscription which gives you free entry to arthouse cinemas across the Netherlands both for normal screenings and special events, such as festivals. It’s great! It means that I go to the cinema much more often than I would otherwise.

Asian Remakes of Western Films
Remember the J-horror craze that saw Japanese-borne horror movies such as the Grudge and Ringu snapped up by Western filmmakers and given a glossy Americanized makeover? Ever wondered what it'd be like is the shoe was on the other foot and your favourite Hollywood movies were remade and set in an entirely different culture?

Was Batman v. Superman a Financial Disaster?
At first Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice enjoyed a wonderful opening weekend but then suffered a 69% drop, which is so bad, so terrible in cinema history that this was built up as WB’s own 'Great Depression'. Do you recall the doomsday prophets with things like "the movie needs to make over $800 million or even $1 billion just to break even"? You could find plenty of these claims in the first month and a half of the film’s release. Yet, are they true? Let us forget the critical side of this film and look purely at its economics. Let's look at a few other movies to see in comparison, if Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the financial disaster many claim it to be. Finally, let's find out if Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was a box office flop or made a profit for Warner Bros.

Movie Review: 'Daddy Issues' Is My Favorite Movie of 2019 So Far
Daddy Issues is my favorite movie of 2019 thus far. This indie romance came out of absolutely nowhere, and absolutely floored me with its effortless artistry, and original storytelling. Director Amara Cash is an absolute revelation whose work here is that of a veteran filmmaker even as it is her first feature length film. In Daddy Issues, Cash does what truly exceptional directors do, she pays attention to every single detail. From cinematography to soundtrack to costume to her incredible cast, Cash exerts a control that many mainstream directors of multiple feature films could stand to learn from.

Selfishness vs Rationalism
Adam Mckay’s biographical comedy-drama film The Big Short gives us insight into the complicated financial world, and the inner workings of Wall Street that would otherwise seem like another world to us. However, not only does the film break down complex financial jargon and concepts to make it more understandable, it also reveals to us the nature of the human condition. Although the characters all have different ethics and morals when it comes to making money, they are all tied by one idea–we may all coexist in the same society, but we live in fact as if it is survival of the fittest. The idea behind this is that it is human nature to do what is best for ourselves, as our inherently selfish nature means that we live for ourselves and not others.

Destroyer (2018)
What’s up?Silas is back. Obviously, the most striking element of this film is the transformation of Nicole Kidman. Her weathered, unkempt appearance with black-rimmed eyes, smudged skin, and a tousled haircut indicate an unhealthy lifestyle, and a stubborn addiction. It soon becomes clear that the bottle has become her closest friend. Normally Nicole Kidman looks so snappy and flashy in other films. Here’s she’s shabby and unrecognizable. The past took a heavy toll on her during an undercover operation where her partner Chris (Sebastian Stan) drew the short straw. Erin Bell (Nicole Kidman) has since lived in a daze. Probably an attempt to erase the past, and to alleviate the pain in her ruined life.

Movies to Watch—'The Grey'
The actor Liam Neeson has become one of the main action figures in Hollywood, starring in such popular films as Taken, Batman Begins, and Gangs of New York. However, while these roles were a bit one-dimensional or short lived in terms of his supporting role, you get to see the full scope of his talents in a powerful and dramatic role in the 2012 film, The Grey. In this fictional drama, we get to see a man pushed to his mental and physical limits and how he is able to come to grips with such weighty topics such as his own mortality and his religious beliefs.
