Columbus 2017
Columbus is a masterpiece that is criminally underrepresented in pretty much every cinematic conversation. This is a piece that got nothing close to a popular release or is it one that garnered any mainstream attention upon its birth into the zeitgeist. This is a painful reality. For Columbus to be viewed so little, for it have received next to no official recognition, is almost fitting. This is a miserable state that only accentuates the power that this story has to…

Mind you, this is based purely off of what I’ve heard from friends, read in newspapers and seen from you lot on LB in regard to Tenet.
So of course, I went into my session last night…

The Batman 2022
To truly understand and get Batman goes beyond knowing Bruce Wayne and his even sadder best friend. It involves understanding his universe, everything around him, his neighbours, his streets, his ethos, what drives him and makes him such a unique yet relatable character in any period. There’s a whole table of elements that have to work in tandem in order to make the absolutely finest representation of Batman, whether that be on the silver screen, in a comic book, or…
