Electric Life 4

TIFF Review – The Electrical Life of Louis Wain

September 14th, 2021 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Louis Wain is not a historical figure that many people would even know, let alone know what Wain is famous for doing.  I am one of those people, so The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021) was an enjoyable treasure of a film and an…

As In Heaven 4

TIFF Review – As In Heaven

September 11th, 2021 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

As the world of cinema continues to embrace female filmmakers and their stories, the focus on women-centric films also increases, giving rise to stories that were unlikely to be told or translated to the art of film.  As In Heaven (2021) is just one of…

Malignant 6

Film Review – Malignant

September 11th, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Malignant (2021) is the kind of horror flick tailor made for the midnight-movie crowds. With its campy tone, over the top body horror, and ridiculous story, it exudes the kind of “no holding back” attitude that many fans of the genre will gleefully embrace. There…
