Film Review: Tarung Sarung (2020)

Gone are the days when local and regional films are thought to be inferior to Hollywood productions. Thanks to a burgeoning film industry, Southeast Asian movies are on the rise: and while they may lack the big budget their Hollywood counterparts have, some of these films more than make up for it through creative storytelling,… Read More Film Review: Tarung Sarung (2020)

I Finally Got Netflix

There are two kinds of people on this planet: those who subscribe to Netflix, and those who don’t. Until very recently, I belonged to the latter. As someone who has little patience for TV shows and web series (can’t be bothered to sit through multiple episodes), I’ve never felt the need to, despite how popular… Read More I Finally Got Netflix

What Do You Think Of Disney’s New Mulan Trailer?

So. The trailer for Disney’s live-action Mulan was just released a couple of days ago; and honestly? I have mixed feelings about it. As a kid, Mulan was one of my favourite Disney heroines.

Review: The Greatest Showman + Three Of My Favourite Songs From The Movie

Movie Review: The Hitman’s Bodyguard

I know what they say about actors having to be versatile in order to succeed in the long run; but I also believe that some actors are tailor-made for certain roles. Think Schwazzeneger as the iconic Terminator, or Sylvester Stallone as Rocky. You simply can’t imagine anyone else playing those characters. For me, Ryan Reynolds… Read More Movie Review: The Hitman’s Bodyguard
