by Mark Miller | Dec 27, 2016

I could see one movie to review this week and the choice came down between Assassin’s Creed and Sing. One of these had already been given substantially lower viewer ratings than the other but it has also been given Michael Fassbender, one of the most handsome men...

Passengers: Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Pratt Can’t Save this Boring Space Odyssey [Review]

by Sean Atkins | Dec 20, 2016

If you’re going to drop a sci-fi movie in late December and it’s directed by the guy who made The Imitation Game and stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy), you would expect a lot, right? I mean, I certainly would. On...

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – Make No Mistake This is a War Movie [Review]

by Mark Miller | Dec 19, 2016

Rogue One: First Star Wars Spin-Off is Exciting and Somewhat Meaningful [Review]

by Sean Atkins | Dec 13, 2016

by Ashton Clemmer | Dec 13, 2016

When you think of a nightclub you don’t often imagine mosh pits, or metal music. However on the frigid night of December 9th, 2016, Level Night Club in Kelowna, B.C. was filled with nothing but. The small, jam packed nightclub had no idea the shit-storm it was about...

Manchester by The Sea: Emotions Run High in Stirring, Simplistic Drama [Review]

by Sean Atkins | Dec 9, 2016
