Watching it In-Theaters I was but The Protagonist, but now I am Neil. I worked very hard on my TENET REVIEW. Considering I made a calculated risk to go see it during the pandemic and worked a month to edit in in video format. I thought it was too impenetrable with a pile of nothing…

Versions of ‘V For Vendetta’
“We’ve swept this place and you got nothing, nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy Karate gimmicks.” – Creedy Originally written for Sean Moreland’s ‘Comic Book Literature’ class at University of Ottawa.

Though it was shot on digital, cinematographer Chung Hoon chung uses lenses that capture the messy and dirty quality of that the first adaptation’s…
Christopher Nolan Directs to His Limit in ‘Dunkirk’

A point showing how far he has come as a director, continuing to advance beyond such classics as Memento, my personally favourite film and The Dark Knight, one of the…
Review: Beyond a greater female aesthetic, there is little to Wonder Woman you haven’t seen before
Captain America: The First Avenger, is my least favourite Marvel movie, so I wasn’t particularly excited to see it again in DC format. Wonder Woman, helmed by Patty Jenkins who made the suitably good, Charlize Theron Oscar-winning Monster 13 years ago and has made no feature film since, brings a restraint to the typically overwrought nature…

Suicide Squad Divide: Critics v. Fans
Contains mild spoilers for Suicide Squad. Not enough to convince you to see the film. Your most loyal friends are the ones that stick with you through thick and thin. I admire those who defend Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice because Zack Snyder is a unique visual stylist who at least tried though failed…
