Dana’s Film Review: Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (2020)

After 2016’s Suicide Squad, audiences had mixed reactions to the Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey trailer, (or should I say Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey now that the title’s changed). Some people loved it. Some people hated it. As for me, I decided to spring up two pigtails, spray them pink and blue, dot a

The Legend of Family

       Tristan Ludlow lunged in front of his stroke-stricken father, Colonel William Ludlow, unable to fathom another loss after his wife and younger brother. His ragged, gurgled bawl clogged his throat of his stoic demeanor. A piercing shot cracked through the sky and Tristan’s arched arms remained frozen in the air. His face

Film Review: Arrival (2016)

For this week’s review, two popular requests/recommendations that came my way were Arrival (2016) and Silence (2016). I had originally wanted to go with Silence, but because of time restraints, I had to push Silence to next week and opt with the former for this week.Upon deciding to watch it, I inwardly pouted. Cheesy, cliche alien flicks aren’t my thing. They probably aren’t yours either.

Retro Review: Equilibrium (2002)

I had heard so many mixed reviews about Equilibrium. Some said it was a classic hit, others said it was a Matrix-wannabe. And with it now gone as I write this, I was luckily able to give the flick a try before getting removed from Netflix. Directed by Kurt Wimmer, Equilibrium follows a futuristic world in
