Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve really exploded onto the international scene with the dynamite one-two thriller combination of Prisoners and Enemy. Both those movies, as massively different in tone as they were, were led by Jake Gyllenhaal who used them to transition from “That kid who used to talk to rabbits and was stuck in a bubble” to “Holy crap, give this man …
So far this year we’ve been treated to one of the best science fiction movies ever in the form of Ex Machina, a thought provoking movie that explores identity and the human condition. Superbly acted, brilliantly paced and with enough twists and turns to leave even the hardest roller-coaster veteran green to the stomach. I think only one of those elements is really going …
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
