Colour Out Of Space

Colour Out Of Space is a science fiction/horror movie that was originally a short story written by H.P. Lovecraft. The movie showcases one of H.P. Lovecraft's Old Gods as well as the effects it has on the human psyche. The film features Nicolas Cage and Tommy Chong. It is an extremely edgy film that in most cases will make you squirm in your seat trying to understand the world within this film. Without spoiling anything about this film, I will clarify that this is not a mainstream film where you can just relax and casually absorb what you are watching, this is a film that is difficult to watch in terms of story but is still visually appealing with the vibrant colours used. It is extremely hard to get a firm grasp on the emotions of the characters as they are ever-changing and unpredictable. Overall, this movie is extremely fun to watch and has an unpredictable story so you'll never know what to expect next. This film efficiently showcases each character and their relevance to the story no matter how minor their role is, whether it is Tommy Chong or Julian Hilliard, the youngest son.

Joker

Joaquin Phoenix plays a quintessential Joker like we have never seen before. The films 'R' rating thoroughly allows it to show Arthur Fleck's slow descent from child-friendly clown to vengeful Joker. Director, Todd Phillips has recreated and reimagined one of the most iconic comic book villains known to man. Each Joker or Batman film presents a different style of Joker, through actors like Heath Ledger or Joaquin Phoenix . The Joker can be played light or heavy, scary or fun or a combination of all four and Joaquin Phoenix fits the bill precisely. With Todd Phillips history of directing The Hangover and Road Trip you would expect Joker to be a comedy film, but it is the complete opposite. It is instead a grim, dark, gut-wrenching and disturbing account of a deeply unstable man. When Arthur Fleck is fired from working as a clown he tries to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. Robert De Niro's character, Murray Franklin, a late-night show host brings Fleck ...

A Brimful of Asha Guest review by Michelle B.

I streamed The Citadel Theatres performance of ‘A Brimful of Asha’ , a Mothers Day gift to myself recently. In this play written by Ravi and Asha Jain, a funny and true story of son Ravi and mother Asha is told from each of their own perspectives. This tale includes family expectations, disagreements, dreams and wishes, traditions, arranged marriages, and especially mother-son relationships. This ‘two-hander’, is very well performed by Adolyn H Dar and Nimet Kanji instead of the usual real Ravi and Asha. The set was simple and appropriate and I really liked the use of the occasional video pictures on the back screen. There were a couple of times during the stream that the camera was a bit shaky and the audio was a bit off, especially when the characters were yelling/raising their voices. As a wife and mother of a son, I could relate to most of the issues explored in the play except the arranged marriage (I don’t think that my son would app...

Spies in Disguise

Spies in Disguise features Will Smith and Tom Holland as the voices of the two main characters in the film. Smith as a spy turned pigeon and Holland, a nerdy pacifist scientist. This is an extremely pleasant animated film with an equally positive message, Make Love, Not War . With Will Smith's most recent films being Bad Boys For Life and Gemini Man , his acting in this film is a complete curveball to what he normally portrays. Smith's character, Lance, is similar to his Men in Black role Agent J, a no-nonsense, kick-ass spy. Lance is the world's greatest spy and loves to finish his missions with a boom. Unfortunately, during a mission, Lance's grenade turns out to be a glitter bomb and not what he expected. After finding out that a new employee played by Tom Holland created this glitter bomb Lance fires Holland's character on the spot. Soon after, Lance is on the run from the United States government and requires the unique assistance of Holland's char...
