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 +

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...

Better Man | Review by: Benjamin Garrett

What at first feels like a CGI gimmick allows Better Man to climb and swing it’s way beyond standard biopic conventions. This larger than life musical is worth a watch even if, like me, you needed to ask “Who the hell is Robbie Williams?”. A pop icon in the UK who didn’t quite make a household name for himself in North America, Robbie Williams bares his life (the good the bad and the drug fueled ugly) in this dazzling account of his rise to fame. Musician biopics often focus too heavily on the creation of the artist’s work, and not enough on the actual artist. Better Man gives audiences a sobering portrait of the man behind the monkey, with his songs placed in pivotal life and career moments to move the narrative forward. This works especially well if you aren’t entirely familiar with Williams’ work, because you won’t find yourself waiting to hear specific needle drops. Instead they flow organically into the story, with gorgeously choreographed musical numbers. And bo...
