WATCH NOW Up until now, my favourite films have centred around the legendary Ip Man. However, IP MAN 3 was the first one that I watched on the big screen. Honestly, this one really baffled me. I watched it in a multiplex cinema with only four other viewers in the audience. Somehow I feel like […]
WATCH NOW what is arguably his last film, Anthony Quinn gives a rather raspy portrayal of Mafia chieftain Angelo, who extracts a promise from his guard friend and surrogate son Frank (Stallone): to take care of his daughter Jennifer (Stowe). To protect her from becoming a victim of rival Mob violence, she has been brought

WATCH NOW “Into the blue” is quite simply an adventure. Not one of those hyperactive thrillers with ridiculous special effects, but rather a tale with people, danger, treasure, and love, where literally everything that everyone does is physically possible to do (with the exception that they seem to have the ability to hold their breath

WATCH NOW War movies can be a reflection of the sociopolitical interest of the period they were produced in. In the eyes of a movie enthusiast, this genre of films is an interesting one. War genres encompass much more than just the visual depiction of history or action. There’s a movie that depicts reality during
WATCH NOW Based in South Boston, Jason is a weirdo teenager Michael Angarano who is obsessed with Kung Fu movies and Chinese culture. We frequently see him watching martial arts films and visiting Old Hop’s paw shop, he’s specifically looking for Chinese movies. While browsing the store, he comes across an ancient staff. Old Hop

WATCH NOW Another largely forgotten today Western from the 1950s, From Hell to Texas is an incredibly interesting revenge tale that manages to get quite a bit right with its story and the camerawork and score. The film follows the life of Tod Lohman. A cowboy played by Don Murray is trying to escape a
