Today’s horror on the lens is a made-for-tv movie directed by Wes Craven. First televised in 1984, Invitation to Hell is a wonderfully over-the-top depiction of what happens when an engineer (Robert Urich) sells out and goes to work for a big evil corporation. Long story short, Satan (in the form of Susan Lucci) takes […]
As most of you know my favorite all time television series is, and always shall be The Walking Dead. Now at it’s tenth season, it was announced a few weeks ago that the series is going to end with season 11. While I was saddened at that news, I also have to admit that I think […]

The Haunting of Bly Manor is releasing today and I can’t be more excited. The first installment of The Haunting series, The Haunting of Hill House was terrific, making the release of the next one more anticipated by people around the globe. So I thought of making a list of horror flicks you can watch […]
So I admit I was not as big on the last season of The Crown as the first two but we got a trailer for season 4 today and oh… I’m excited all over again!
It’s October 2020, which means that it’s been a full decade. At this very moment, ten years ago, the whole world was watching Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield. The two young actors were starring in a story that transfixed a generation. How much of it was true? How much of it was fiction? It hardly […]

He’s unkept, his house is becoming a pigsty, his friends are worried for him, and a monster keeps tormenting him every night.

“Set in a suburban fantasy world, the film follows two elf brothers who set out on a quest to find an artifact that will temporarily bring back their deceased father.” My Disney Plus subscription is ending soon, so I decided to start watching Onward, Pixar’s latest film that came out back in March. It was […]
An unusual, black-and-white Episode 8 may not be overtly Lynchian, but its implications prove equally integral to what the finale has to say.
‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’: The Ending, Ghosts, and Memories That Matter — Spoilers
I felt a sort of historic obligation to see TENET since it positioned itself as the Great Return to Cinema — its writer-director seemed eager to create a series of super-spreader screenings and, like his Russian supervillain, bring his medium of expression (arms dealing, cinema) to […]
A reimagined version of the Peter Pan tale as young girl Wendy (France) and a collection of her childhood friends find themselves on a mysterious island where time and aging […]
The Perfect Candidate Saudi Arabia (2019) Dir. Haifaa Al-Mansour Women in the Middle East have few freedoms as we know, but one of the worst things to hinder them is a lack of voice. It would take a very brave woman to stand up and want to be counted among her male peers to represent […]
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I know it’s not Halloween yet, but it really is because all of October is spooky season for me, so we’re kicking off celebrations in the best possible way ever: Tim Burton. He is, for me, the father of all things spooky, and the reason that I started to look into more nontraditional […]

MABEL AT THE WHEEL (still 1914!) marks an interesting, indeed key point in Chaplin’s career. He’d been at least somewhat quarrelsome with his directors up to this point. On this film, he simply refused to play a scene the way his director and lead actor Mabel Normand saw it, and production ground to a halt. […]

As I have been intrigued about the history of Queen Victoria, this movie poster attracted my attention. Themes 1) racial prejudice: Because of his skin colour and religion, Abdul was looked down by everyone in the royal household, including the staff. The more they looked down and excluded him, the more […]
