Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls it’s about that time we got into Demon Slayer Season two, The Entertainment District. Now as we all know the second season of demon slayer first began with episodes from the “Mugen Train” movie with added scenes, however for today’s review, I’ll only be talking about the episodes from the Entertainment District Arc. So without further ado, let us begin this spectacular season, shout out to Ufotable for the incredible visuals and work put into this season, truly amazing. One of the small aspects I appreciate Ufotable for adding at the beginning of the Entertainment District was when it was made clear…

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is the seventh installment in the Paranormal Activity series. Margot, a young woman who was abandoned by her mother as a baby, travels to a secluded Amish community with a documentary film crew seeking answers about her mother and extended family. I’ve never seen the earlier installments before this one yet still found myself intrigued and glad that it doesn’t require me to watch the previous version before this one. I love the elements on which the film was founded, a mother abandoning her daughter at a hospital, caught on the hospital’s CCTV cameras and years later the once little girl wanting to know…

The Last Duel
The Last Duel is a phenomenal film in the amount of detail portrayed by all three parties’ perspectives, The Husband, The Accused, and The Victim. The husband, Jean de Carrouges (played by Matt Damon) is known throughout France as a brave and skilled knight who feared nothing and would gladly fight till his last breath in the name of the King.

Whoever said you could live a peaceful life after retiring from the MI6 was mistaken, hence Bond finds out the hard way that life after the secret service is no such thing.

As Bond is enjoying his time after retiring from the secret service, the couple’s plans are short-lived when James is ambushed by the agents of Spectre.

Army of Thieves
Matthias Schweighofer has done an amazing job with this prequel, I found myself wanting to see more with each safe. The story of Hans Wagner after losing his family putting all his attention and soul into the makings of the four safes was beautifully illustrated and directed. Ludwig Dieter was such an isolated person and you could strangely always see that even from the first film, Army of The Dead, but to think he just wanted someone to recognize his skills, and he sure made the impression at the safe’s competition. Whilst the former champion is anxious and using every technique in the book on unlocking a safe, Dieter on the…

Old Henry
Straight out the bat, you know know what you are about to get yourself into with Old Henry, a western film building its anticipation with a man running in the woods from a couple of men on horses, only to later realize he is running away from the Marshal played by Stephen Dorff and two his deputies. And there’s one thing that’s plain to see, it’s that this Marshal is either corrupted or pretending to that for reasons we still don’t know yet. From the moment Stephen Dorff appears on-screen anyone with a brain can tell that this man is bad news all around, there’s no respectful charisma you’d get…

Warning
Lately, I’ve heard a lot about the world or for a better word “life” being a simulation and this film addresses another aspect of that in a way. The title of the film says it all, if you haven’t seen it yet then I recommend taking the title to heart, I found myself questioning my humanity throughout this film. What makes us human, it’s funny how all the things we create are programmed to be respectful and kind yet that element in humans is blurred. Claire (Alice Eve) uses a look-alike version of Amazon’s products Alexa as her spiritual coach, without it Claire felt uneasy and restless as “God” is…

Squid Game -Episode 1 | Right Light, Green Light
Ladies and Gentle, it’s about time I made this review for a series that has taken the whole world by storm. Netflix’s Korean series, Squid Game. Right off the bat, we are shown how children play the game itself called Squid Game, the rules, and the skills it takes to win. We then meet the protagonist of the story, Seong Gi-Hun who is a man in his early forties living with his elderly mother who is the breadwinner in the family. While Gi-Hun is eating his breakfast, his mother gives him twenty thousand won, equivalent to more or less two hundred and fifty-three rands in South Africa and he randomly…
