Racing Stripes (2005) and The Year of the Dog (2022) projects human ambition, labor, and emotional needs onto animals while masking domination as connection, empowerment, or recovery. From zebra domestication myths to sled-dog labor and addiction narratives, both films reveal how easily audiences are encouraged to mistake animal compliance for fulfillment.

I Wasn’t Entirely Wrong: Reacting to the Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer and Revisiting My Predictions

When I sat down in early August of 2025 to write about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the film had just entered production, and the internet was already doing what it does best, spiraling into a frenzy of rumors, casting whispers, and multiverse-fueled speculation. Names were being thrown around like confetti. Daredevil. Punisher. Black Cat. Mr. Negative. Tobey Maguire. Andrew Garfield. It felt like we were heading straight back into the chaos of Spider-Man: No Way Home, just bigger, louder, and […]

IMHO saying this film is bad is like saying minecraft is bad because of its graphic.
In conclusion - watch films and have fun. Don’t listen to what critics say.

Movie Review: The unpredictability of “Marty Supreme” makes it one of 2025’s top films

Josh Safdie’s latest film, “Marty Supreme” is quite the wild ride. Much like its massive marketing budget, the film is pursuing greatness — something it seamlessly achieves.  The highly anticipated film released Christmas Day in theaters nationwide. The day after Christmas, at the Marcus Crosswoods Cinema in Columbus, a packed house of film fanatics sat […]

The Lantern
Eve’s Christmas functions not merely as light holiday fare, but as a robust cultural apparatus designed to enforce ideological compliance, specifically through the compulsory resolution of female professional autonomy into a predefined heterosexual outcome.

Eve’s Christmas (2004) is clearly a case of someone who found the title oh so clever (it isn’t), they didn’t care that the plot perpetuates the myth that a woman can’t be single, successful, and ha…
