A MIRROR OF OUR SOCIETY
Human social and conductive evolution doesn't happen from day to night. It evolves. Traditions, morals, values and norms are changed by the society itself, all pointing towards one (often unconscious) direction. So the question is not if androids and AI takeover would be a thing, but rather "when". Technology is less becoming a tool and becoming an inherent part of ourselves.…

Having set itself as the frontrunner at the awards season last year, I had finally the chance to see a film that depicts the level of violence and cruelty that humans have the potential to inflict on one another, even in supposedly "modern times" where such barbarous acts are not supposed to occur. We are evolutionary beings after all, even though reality dictates something that could not be further from the truth.

To this day, images of the brutal Bosnian…

JUNIMATION III: REVENGE OF THE GOOFY GOBBERS

So I knew that Prey sequel, Badland, was coming this year but I only learned of this film's existence like a week ago or so. Therefore I came in blank, only seeing many people here on the site loved it.

And to be honest, I didn’t see what all the fuss was about for most of its runtime. The animation was great; to some extent it was like a more slick version of…

JUNIMATION III: REVENGE OF THE GOOFY GOBBERS

Growing up, I believe I may have seen an episode or two from the Asterix series, and I believe my mom was a bit of a fan, though I personally watching more Tintin. Therefore, one could argue this was my first complete actual watch from the IP.

And what a hoot! If the rest of the strips, films, series and whatnot are of this caliber or close, there’s no doubt why it…

It’s even on the soundtrack, with the theme song being this hybrid of your average superhero epic score with some subtle Reggaeton beats.

The performances are very good. I’ve liked Xolo since discovering…

Anna Kendrick I didn’t know your game! For her debut feature behind the camera, Woman of the Hour, she delivers one the most unnerving film of the year.

The film brims with numerous surprises. I've already mentioned one, but the biggest has to probably be the movie itself. You see, differently from what the trailers and title sell us, this is not so much about Kendrick’s Sheryl as it is more about the monstruous man known as Rodney Alcala, aka…
