Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe


Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe is a direct sequel to the 2011 film Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension. This flick runs for an hour and a half and satisfies all of your nostalgia needs from your childhood. The film starts out with Candace once again trying to bust Phineas and Ferb for building one of their convoluted inventions. Candace's plan backfires when she gets abducted by an alien race from the planet Feebla-Oot.  After finding out that Candace and Vanessa have been captured, Phineas, Ferb, and the gang quickly team up with Doctor Doofenshmirtz to rescue them. Throughout the film, there are references to older episodes via billboards in the city, flashbacks, and a nice collage at the end of the movie. Unfortunately, there are a few things missing from the film that were in the TV show, such as the amazing musical sequences which made Phineas and Ferb such a unique show for its time. On the other hand, the animation quality has improved significantly from when the series ended in 2015.  Finally, after 13 years since the series started Candace has positive growth as a person and becomes a role model sister to Phineas and Ferb.  All in all this film is great for anyone who is familiar with Phineas and Ferb or watching for the first time with their kids. So grab some popcorn, kick back and relax to my favourite animated film of the year.

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...

The Hunt

If you've heard anything about this movie you would know that it is extremely politically motivated.  I'm not going to get into that, this is an American movie that features American politics and I am a Canadian. Now onto the review, The Hunt is a brutal bloodfest featuring fantastic special effects and an above-average story featuring actors with a variety of acting backgrounds to interpret the story. With stars like Betty Gilpin, Hilary Swank , Glenn Howerton , and Ike Barinholtz the movie has a well-rounded cast that portrays each character's flaws creepily and accurately.  Hilary Swank as Athena portrays a very powerful corporate bully that leads a manhunt against 12 individuals who ruined Athena's and a handful of her friends careers. Although, Athena's "joke" group texts truly caused all this chaos.  These 12 people have to defend themselves from Athena and her colleagues, who are armed with high caliber weapons designed to kill in the messiest way...
