We are all born to embrace stories in one form or another. Whether it’s those which are read to us at bedtime, the ones we hear huddled around a campfire or any of the other narratives that become a part of our lives, there is always something that draws us to a good story; the…

The Crossing Guard (1995)
We all wish we could change the past, in the hopes of altering the trajectory of our lives – it’s a seemingly universal experience to hold some regrets, even if they are small and relatively inconsequential. For some people, the remorse felt for the past can develop into something much darker and more insidious, and…
Sheep in the Box (2026)
We all process loss in our own way, and each one of us has a unique approach to working through certain complex emotions, especially when it deals with something as unfathomable as the death of a child. As many have observed, there are words for someone who loses a spouse or their parents, but none…
Queen at Sea (2026)
There is an unspeakable sadness that comes with watching our parents grow old – the people who raised us venture towards the end of their lives, and even if they may not be terminally ill or entirely near the end, it can be difficult to see their minds and bodies begin to wilt. Lance Hammer…
September (1987)
We often tend to think of Woody Allen as a director who mastered the art of cinematic comedy – his generational run from the late 1960s to the present day has provided us with some of the most extraordinary, complex works of humour ever seen on screen. Yet, there can be a point where Allen…
Erupcja (2026)
Love is a contradiction. Despite being a universal experience if we consider the various kinds of love – romantic, familial, platonic and everything else in between – it is still often very difficult to define precisely. This hasn’t stopped countless individuals in every conceivable field of study from trying their best to understand what it…
The Comedy Man (1964)
There is nothing quite as disheartening as putting your heart and soul into your chosen vocation, and discovering that it is not intended to be your permanent career. This is particularly prevalent in the world of the arts – some people have a brief burst of success but find themselves fading faster than they rose,…
The Get Out (2026)
Sometimes, you just need to find a way to filter out the anger. This is the premise that Derrick Borte chooses as the starting point for The Get Out (otherwise known as Bear Country in some markets), an adaptation of the novel Strip by Thomas Perry, in which we are introduced to Manco Kapak, an…
Carolina Caroline (2026)
“Let’s rob the world” How far would you go to be with someone you love? For most people, there doesn’t seem to be any limit, outside of anything immoral or criminal, which tends to become a potential issue for those who enjoy living their lives as law-abiding citizens. Yet, some will feel compelled to even…
You Never Can Tell (1951)
There’s something genuinely charming about the irony that the best depiction of what it means to be human usually tends to come in films that are focused around animals. One of the most bizarre premises for a film ever produced relates to this topic, and comes in the form of You Never Can Tell, in…
