REVIEW: Willy’s Wonderland (2021) – The Best Movie Ever
This is a spoiler free review. I’ve been a fan of Five Nights at Freddy’s since Markiplier and MatPat started flooding YouTube with jump scare footage. The indie horror games created by Scott Cawthon played a huge role in reviving the childhood horrors of Chuck E. Cheese. Animatronic horror has seen a revival as a result, with a prominent example being The Banana Splits Movie, which reintroduced the Hanna-Barbera characters as serial killers. The most recent addition to this weird subgenre is Willy’s Wonderland. I saw the trailer for it a while back was intrigued, but it wasn’t exactly on my radar until I saw a clip from the movie…

Review : FATMAN
When Billy Wenan gets a lump of coal under the Christmas tree, he declares war against Santa and hires an assassin to bring an end to the winter mascot people know and love. When the trailer for Fatman arrived, it took the internet by surprise. Those that watched it believed it was an off-season April fool’s joke (myself included).

Though, instead of a gun-crazy action fest like you might have expected from the trailer, the film actually tells a struggling couple’s…

Spoiler Free Review: Pixar’s SOUL
When the aspiring musician Joe ends up in trouble, he finds himself becoming a mentor in something he least expected. When I started my viewing of Pixar Animation Studio’s latest movie, a feeling of nervousness started to creep up. Everyone and their grandmother hailed this movie as Pixar’s next cinematic masterpiece. And as the credits started to roll, the shoulder started to ease up. While I might not find the movie to be the animated answer to Citizen Kane, to call Pixar’s Soul deserving of a place in the hall of fame is an understatement. One of the factors that makes Soul such a phenomenal experience is that they dare…

Review: TENET (2020)
Christopher Nolan is a filmmaker who has had no shortage of ambition. Everything from his approach to big science fiction concepts (Inception, Interstellar) to reimagining Batman lore (The Dark Knight Trilogy) has been met with much success, both critically and financially. After visiting the World War II genre with 2017’s Dunkirk, Nolan returns to sci-fi with his latest outing, Tenet. Naturally, Tenet was one of the year’s most anticipated films, boasting not only Nolan’s latest original story, but also a stellar cast and enticing marketing. Then, COVID-19 happened. Eventually, the pandemic led to Tenet being delayed a few times. However, with Nolan pushing to hold on to its 2020 release…
