The Suicide Squad (2021) 3.5/4 My favourite kinds of movies are ones that take risks. Take a movie like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, for instance. It took a lot of guts, both figuratively and literally, to make a movie that showed someone getting their heart ripped out from their body in that […]

It was a sweaty summer afternoon and I had just gotten off work for the day. Sighing in heat-fuelled exhaustion, I got in the car and turned on my summer Spotify playlist. I always listen to music in the car, and, naturally, this playlist had lots of classic summer hits. I was halfway home when […]

I am writing this in a hotel in Doha. I have tested negative for COVID and there are six more days left in my quarantine. I’ve finally gotten comfortable with the idea of travelling via a third country and quarantining. I’m trying to make the most of my unpredictable and unplanned hotel vacation in Qatar. […]

This is a look back to help us understand that feminism is a constant fight for the future of others. It’s the belief in a human mind that is not limited to its surroundings. We need to look back at the simplest things, of what is so normal to us today. In fact, though, brave […]

Snake Eyes (2021) 0.5/4 Even before the pandemic, Paramount Pictures’ G.I. Joe film franchise had been struggling to find an audience. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and G.I. Joe: Retaliation didn’t do amazingly well financially and the majority of critical reception was poor for both. Now, in a desperate attempt to appeal to a […]

It’s been months since Canada implemented a ban on direct flights from India. This measure was taken by the Canadian government to insure the safety of its citizens from the recent COVID-19 mutations, especially the Delta and Delta-plus variant that have been detected in India. The second wave of COVID in India was deadly, but […]

Black Widow (2021) 2.5/4 Recently, and rightfully, there’s been more female-driven superhero films, such as the last two DC Wonder Woman films, DC’s female team-up Birds of Prey, and Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel. What made these films stand out are their strong messages about the importance of female empowerment, and the power of the female […]

Equality is discussed heavily when talking about feminism, and that makes sense—being a feminist is about striving for fairness between all genders and sexual orientations. But I feel like that equality itself is never truly elaborated on. What does equality look like in the real world? Is it even something we should be striving for? […]

COVID has affected everyone around the world. I want to talk about how it affected an international student studying remotely in India, which was the worst-hit country by COVID in the past few months. It was not easy at all. Of course it was difficult not just for me but for all the citizens of […]

F9 (2021) 2.5/4 Over the last 20 years, the Fast & Furious franchise has grown into being the seventh highest-grossing film franchise out there, racking in just over $6 billon worldwide. Unfortunately, as the series has progressed, it has also built up the reputation of being one of the most illogical franchises of all time. […]
