The Perfect Thanksgiving Movie
Thanksgiving: a time for good, comforting food. A time to get together with family. A time to be thankful for what you have and want you've gained throughout the year. A time for some football. A time before the busiest shopping day of the year. A time when the weather changes significantly. A time to travel.

'Jigsaw' Review
The Saw Franchise has become synonymous with gore, torture, and violence. Many, though not its own creators, would credit it with starting the modern resurgence of splatter films — colloquially known as "gorno" or "torture porn." As the franchise has progressed, great pains have been taken to assure that newer, more involved, more spectacular traps provide carefully rendered murder. These visuals are hung on an over-the-top, occasionally verging on comical, interconnected frame of parallel plots that follow the trials of the jigsaw victims in his elaborate trap and a related outside world story.

The Snowman Review
The setting for the film, The Snowman, is stunning. Harsh Scandinavian countryside is the perfect setting to bring out the hard dimensions of a murder mystery. The sweeping, massive scope of the landscapes lends a real sense of remote-ness and danger to the locales and characters. This is complimented by the low light and hardscrabble settings in which the film takes place. All of this allows for complex and vital characters to stand up and stand out in crushing circumstances.

Mother! Review
Oh boy. If Mother! required a GIF to sum up the general reaction to it, the most obvious would be Ron Burgundy uttering the line, "boy, that escalated quickly." It’s a bold, wacky retelling of the biblical creation myth and the horrifying extremes of worship, love, desperation, and the damage that humans are capable of when left unchecked, amplified by ambivalence masked as compassion and acceptance by the one being worshipped.

'Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets:' A Review
I'll start off this review by saying one thing; I love sci-fi. I'm not the type of guy to do cosplay, buy action figures, or obsess over the intricacies of the power struggle between the Sith and the Jedi, but if you tell me about a movie, set in space, featuring aliens, or just some other really weird spacey stuff, then I'm all over it. So when the trailer for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets hit, I was instantly sold on it. The story appeared as far out there as you could possibly go, it looked colourful, ridiculous, and a hell of a lot of fun. So it was with some delight that last night I finally got the chance to watch this and it saddens me to report that this film was just awful. I mean, just truly awful.
