One of my favourite things to do in October is have a horror movie marathon. I love these kinds of movies and can recommend some pretty good ones for you to enjoy as well. Horror movies encompass a wide variety of things. For most people, the first things that pop into their heads would be intense murder scenes,…
{Original Image} Miss Representation is a documentary directed and produced by Jennifer Siebel Newsom which tackles the representation of women in the media and the effects on both male and female perspectives. The documentary focusses mainly on the roles of women in America and what being powerful can mean or cost. I am a bit of a documentary junky,…
With the chilling array of badly produced horror films out nowadays, here is my personal list of horror films that will surely give you a scare. 1. Identity: This is my all time favourite horror film. The movie embeds a flabbergasting plot twist. Identity is more than the simple tale that people may initially perceive…
The Telus World of Science in Edmonton opened it’s doors to an exhibit on Saturday that showcases over 100 props from the Indiana Jones films as well as some real life relics that have been discovered all over the world by archaeologists.

Halloween is by far my favourite holiday, and if you’re anything like me, I’m sure you’re dying for it to come faster. But if you’re anything thing like me, you also aren’t a big fan of horror films. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find good Halloween movies that aren’t scary but aren’t made for little kids.…
There are millions of short films out there, and I, personally, am a huge fan of them. They are short, interesting, and great to snuggle with on a cold winter’s day. Here’s a great short film called the ART of LOVE by Lewis Farinella. Hope you enjoy it. The ART of LOVE

“Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up” — Alfred Pennyworth, Batman Begins. There’s no denying that even without alien powers or elemental manipulation, Batman has the power and determination (plus A LOT of notable equipment) to overcome any conflict and just because you might not have the power to…
Who doesn’t adore Pixar movies? I, for one, have watched every Pixar film since Toy Story, and some of you might know that that means every single one of them. Pixar is one of the most decorated computer animation companies of all time, with an impressive award count of 26 Academy Awards, five Golden Globes,…
Whenever I’m feeling down, or just want to have a lazy night in, I never regret cozying up in bed and shamelessly watching a cheesy old-school chick flick. Though hardcore film enthusiasts may turn at this admission, I really do love them. Yes, they have their fair share of cringe (and swoon!)-worthy moments, but they…
Summary: Lucy is an action/fantasy movie about a 25-year-old student who eventually gains the ability to access 100 per cent of her cerebral capacity.

My first impressions on this Marvel movie was that it would be heavily focused on comedy rather than the action. But I was wrong. I will be rating this movie based on three things: comedy, story and CGI. First of all the comedy was great in this movie because they made it funny without taking…
