The Best Actor race is without question the hardest of the above the line categories to predict. The nominees in the category are Austin Butler for his performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, Colin Farrell for his performance as Pádraic Súilleabháin in Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees Of Inisherin, Brendan Fraser for his performance…

‘Knock at the Cabin’ – Review
Knock At The Cabin does suffer from a lot of the shortcomings of M. Night Shyamalan’s previous efforts, but never goes to the lows of his absolute worst efforts, however low that bar may be. I have a very turbulent relationship with M. Night Shyamalan, as I imagine most do. I think most agree that…

‘Violent Night’ – Review
Violent Night knows what it is and the result is a hilarious thrill-ride of Yuletide murder. Fun fact about me: I absolutely love Christmas.

‘Halloween Ends’ – Review
A film full of good ideas with bad execution. *This review contains spoilers.* I have very mixed feelings about the new Halloween trilogy. I actually really liked the 2018 movie; I thought it did a great job modernizing the franchise and had a lot of interesting concepts that worked well. Halloween Kills was very bad…

‘The Son’ – Review (TIFF)
Florian Zeller’s sophomore effort is a manipulative disaster that fails in all departments. I had high hopes for this film. Florian Zeller’s debut film, The Father, was amongst my favourites of 2020. What made The Father work so well was that it felt both honest and unique. It put us in the mind of a…
