The highly anticipated series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is finally upon us.

Interview: Meg Reflects on ‘Wonder Woman’ 5 Years Later

Wonder Woman was released in theatres five years ago and I, a huge self-proclaimed Wonder Woman fan, can still remember witnessing the film for the first time on the big screen like it was yesterday. I was lucky enough to get tickets to a fan screening event held in Toronto just over two weeks before […]

‘Ms. Marvel’ Has The Potential To Be Great

Ms. Marvel is finally coming to Disney+, courtesy of Marvel Studios. Almost a decade ago, Sana Amanat recounted a story from her childhood as a Pakistani American, which developed into an idea for a Marvel comic. Amanat presented the concept to G.

‘The Boys’ Is As Bloody and Villainous As Ever – Review

The third season of The Boys is finally upon us, and while it’s been a bit of a wait, it’s certainly worth it. It’s been calm (or as quiet as things get at Vought) with a more subdued Homelander (Antony Starr) and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) working for the government with a careful eye being […]

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Is A Fun, But Mixed Bag – Review

We’ve spent time getting to know Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) throughout his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Growing up is hard. On top of dealing with school and raging hormones, parents or guardians can be highly embarrassing, although they want the best for their children.

‘No Time To Die’ Is A Befitting Send-Off To Craig’s Iconic Rendition Of The Much Loved 007 – Review

It is the end of the era of Daniel Craig’s James Bond, and parting is such sweet sorrow. But do not fret; Craig’s last outing as the debonair MI6 agent is heavy in spectacle and action, proving that it can stand the test of time not only with these most recent Bond flicks but within […]

TIFF 2015: ‘Room’ Is A tense, gripping emotional roller-coaster

Based on Irish author Emma Donaghue’s best-selling novel of the same name (she also adapted the screenplay for the film), Room was by far my favourite film screened at TIFF this year. Coming off his independent film, Frank (which starred talented fellow Irishmen Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson), director Lenny Abrahamson was tasked with helping bring this iconic […]
