Doctor Who series 14

In classic doctor who fashion, we are treated to a brand new direction for our latest installation in the long running franchise. After four wonderful season of Jodie Whittaker, we have a brand new doctor in the form of the talented, Ncuti Gatwa from Sex Education and Masters Of The Air. Mcuti immediately emits an energy worthy of a Doctor the minute we are introduced to him. His charm is similar to that of David Tenant’s doctor that once got me interested in the series.

One aspect of Ncuti’s doctor that is different is his wardrobe which has been famously changing over the years. His new outfit is a semi- formal overcoat that is both modern and stylish.

Millie Gibson plays The Doctors companion, Ruby Sunday. She is such a joy to watch on screen as she brings such a positive and uplifting energy to the role. Her chemistry with The Doctor is so infectious right from the moment they meet and it only gets stronger with each episode.

The family, friendly humor of Doctor Who is not for everyone but this new duo is a lot of fun and embody the spirit of what makes Doctor Who so special. If you have never watched Doctor Who before, do not fret, The new season is a great starting point that does not require you to have decades worth of Doctor Who knowledge in order to understand. It is a brand new starting point with brand new characters.

Catch the first episode of the new season this Friday April 10th on Disney +

Rating all V/H/S/Halloween Segments

Like sorting through your candy after a night of trick-or-treating, V/H/S/ Halloween is a mixed bag. The eighth instalment in this cult-favourite horror anthology series comes up short of previous entries, but there are still a couple of treats in here that should satisfy your twisted cravings. A chilling still from V/H/S/ Halloween . Diet Phantasma This wraparound segment follows an R&D team testing a new low-calorie soda made with “real ghosts.” It’s silly fun, but gets a bit repetitive with each new test subject. The commercial playing during the end credits was a nice touch. Rating: ★★½☆ Coochie Coochie Coo This short feels like walking through a haunted house — but not in a good way. The plot is like something torn from a creepypasta thread. Everything is constantly being spelled out in a painfully obvious way. The practical effects and makeup are decent, and this is probably the only segment that comes close to being scary...

The Mandalorian Season 3 Review

Listen, I love Star Wars. I will always love Star Wars. The original and prequel trilogies were a big part of my childhood, and helped shape my love of cinema. While The Mandalorian isn’t among my favourites in the franchise, I thought it had a promising first season and a significantly stronger season two. Season three had so much potential, but a frustrating lack of focus held it back from greatness. This show’s always had a bit of an identity crisis, but it’s never been as clear as it is here. Does it want to be a procedural-style adventure of the week, or tell an epic, multi-season spanning arc? Season one leaned toward the former, while Season two found a satisfying balance of both. Season three tries to find that balance, but the overarching story it wants to tell is bigger than the few episodes allotted to do so. There are only 8 chapters, some barely over 30 min. That’s a fair...

Boss Level Film Review

Boss Level is a new addition to the time loop genre, with a twist. Ex-special forces officer, Roy Pulver, played by Frank Grillo, relives the same day until he dies. Every day he is hunted by assassins and when killed, he wakes up back in his bed where he started, only to have to try and survive all over again. Roy has no idea why he is stuck in this infinite time loop but he must do what he can to survive, and the longer he survives, the more he uncovers about his particular situation. Unlike most action films that take time to build up, this film gets right into it and offers tons of non-stop combat sequences that would satisfy any lover of action films. Its erratic flow makes for some fun action scenes which come out of nowhere since Roy can expect the assassins to attack at any moment. If you play video games often and have ever been stuck on a level for hours or even days, you know the feeling of having to repeat the same thing over and over again u...
