Why The 2019 Oscars Was A Big Night For Arabs All Around The Globe

When I first started watching the Oscars a decade ago, I did so for the same various reasons most people do: the fashion, the big-name celebrities, introducing myself to a new year’s list worth of films, etc. It was for entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. But with every passing year, I’ve noticed that the Oscars

Dana’s Film Review: Dunkirk (2017)

Whenever a new Christopher Nolan film rolls into theaters, it isn’t a surprise that both media and fans alike immediately jump on the lauding-wagon and repeatedly praise the Oscar-winning director. After all, aside from the obvious ‘Oscar-winning director’ comment I just made, Nolan continuously introduces both new ideas and experimental film concepts to the film

Dana’s Film Review: Silence (2016)

As promised and mentioned in last week’s review, this week’s film of focus is Martin Scorsese’s Silence. Initially, I hesitated upon noticing this flick was a length film.

Film Review: Arrival (2016)

For today’s update, I will be reviewing 6-time Oscar nominee, Lion. I know what you’re thinking. “Whoaaaa, it won six Oscars?” No little petunia, see that’s where you’re wrong.

Film Review: Room (2015)

Never had I paid much attention to Oscar-nominated films. Sure, some of them were good, but usually they turned out to be a cluster of drama and nonsense. Nevertheless, I decided to be a bit more open-minded and give more films a try. Little did I know I’d savagely seize a movie called Room off

Film Review: Spotlight (2015)

There are times where the Oscars leave us pouting like a little five-year-old who couldn’t get that jumbo jaw-breaker from the candy store. The reason for this? Simply put, sometimes the movies suck. They’re either A: overrated or B: too melodramatic—so of course they run off with the Oscar. But this year, *wags finger* this
