The new John Wick was recently released, and I — like every other fan of Keanu Reeves out there — booked the first ticket I could. I went for Keanu, and I stayed for, well, Keanu, and the fun visuals, of course. The fourth instalment in this series follows Wick’s…

The Substitute (2022) was a surprising film — not only for its depiction of how the drug trade insidiously affects the community, but for its tenderness, and the everyday moments of humanity the characters are able to carve out. The plot is deceptively simple — focusing on a substitute Literature…

]It’s been 17 years, but it’s finally arrived — Avatar: The Way of Water. Evoking memories of water-bending and ATLA (which reminds me, it’s time for a rewatch), I went to watch the movie in 3D in an IMAX theatre, having heard of the movie’s fantastic visual effects. Well, they…

Trigger Warning: the novel represents things that sometimes happen in the real world and contains scenes of self-harm, drug addiction, domestic abuse, and trauma. This review only makes some mentions of them. Finding a good slow-burn romance novel isn’t too hard — it’s a pretty common trope that’s used in…

I dove into the hype around that universe; the animated series and the LEGO games were particularly memorable. I made fun of the prequels and is one of my favourite movies ever. When the sequel trilogy was announced, I was honestly excited — a female Jedi, with a whole trilogy to herself? It sounded incredible, and I was glad that Disney took steps to make diverse. It’s been a year since the final part of the trilogy released. Though I was expecting quite a bit, I can now say that I have been thoroughly disillusioned by the end of it.

Though this can mean a number of different things, Lock&Stock defines this with a down-to-earth response that can significantly change a student’s future. Higher education has become saturated with colleges and universities, each…
