Netflix’s Three-body – first episode review
First, let me start with some context. I’m a born and raised in China kind of Chinese, I’m a big fan of the Three-body trilogy. In fact, they are my favourite sci-fi books ever. I read them in Chinese many times, and in an effort to get Dan to read the trilogy, I read the…

Movie Review – Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
—
I didn’t have high hopes, but this was better than I expected. That isn’t a surprise because Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was co-written and directed by Jason Reitman—the son of Ivan Reitman who directed the first Ghostbusters. Jason has missed the mark with a few of his movies. What writer/director hasn’t? But he’s hit it out of…

Movie Review – The American Society of Magical Negroes
—
“Welcome to the American Society of Magical Negroes!” is said to Aren (Justice Smith) as his world has now completely shifted from the mundane to now possessing magical powers, a la “Men in Black”. (In fact, both films use “erasing your memory” as the ultimate punishment when banished from their respective societies). Anyway, Aren now…

Movie Review – Love Lies Bleeding
—
Love Lies and Bleeding was bloody awful. I’ve become quite the fan of A24 Productions and they really let me down. Man, it was bad. I was very curious to see Kristin Stewart in a role like this. I feel she’s better off with Edward in his glittery world than in a movie like this.…

Movie Review – Knox Goes Away
—
Knox Goes Away was a fantastic movie. It kept you engaged for almost two hours. It gives you hope for humankind, in an odd kind of way. The love of a parent and what we are willing to do for our children shines in this cinematic experience. Michael Keaton did an outstanding job playing a…

Movie Review – Arthur the King
—
If you’ve seen the trailer for this movie then you know pretty much everything you need to know about this movie. Is it predictable? Sure. Is it enchanting? Yes. There wasn’t a lot that could be done to make this movie much better than it is. But it doesn’t have a high ceiling. It’s basically…

Movie Review – One Life
—
The first thing that struck me is the magnificent job Johnny Flynn does as a young Anthony Hopkins. From his first scene you can see how he studied the head movements and manner of speaking that personifies Anthony Hopkins. It’s a little strange that the actor is working to imitate another actor who is playing…

Movie Review – Imaginary
—
Imaginary is an aptly named movie. It’s a storyline we haven’t seen much of in years past, so it hasn’t been played out yet. That said, it’s difficult to make a teddy bear scary. However, Jason Blum gave it a pretty good shot. The acting was on par with a movie of this type, with…

An Animated Kid’s Movie That Brilliantly Predicted The Future
—
Seemingly, every day, we learn that Mitchells vs. the Machines predicted a subtle but important aspect of the future better than any other movie. I don’t want to spoil the movie for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, so I won’t tell you the specifics, but in the movie, they find a way…
