Spy x Family Code: White

After an awesome first season, and kicking off the return for season two, The spy family is back with a full length feature film that acts as a companion for fans as well as a great standalone for newcomers to the series.

Master spy, twilight is posing as a civilian named Loid Forger with his pretend family in order to complete his mission “operation strix” he is married to expert assassin, Yor Briar and adopted orphan daughter, Anya who is also a telepath. The best part of this family dynamic is that each family member has a secret that they are keeping from each other but the family manages to hold it together nicely and are a really wholesome bunch. The key to their secrets from each other is in the writing in order to keep them on their toes from revealing their true identities from each other.

The special mission in this film is actually a hiliarious as Anya has to bake a desert for school. In order for her to win a star merit, Loid derives a plan to travel across the county in order to taste test the principals favorite desert from the area he knows makes it the best. This weekend road trip leads to chaos as Anya eats a desert from the wrong high- ranking military officer, Snidel.

The beauty of Spy Family that sets it apart from any other anime is the family and their dynamic as they grow closer together. It also encompasses all of the amazing genres in anime including; action and romance. This movie acts as an independent story that will surely pull in fans of any anime genre.

Boss Level Film Review

Boss Level is a new addition to the time loop genre, with a twist. Ex-special forces officer, Roy Pulver, played by Frank Grillo, relives the same day until he dies. Every day he is hunted by assassins and when killed, he wakes up back in his bed where he started, only to have to try and survive all over again. Roy has no idea why he is stuck in this infinite time loop but he must do what he can to survive, and the longer he survives, the more he uncovers about his particular situation. Unlike most action films that take time to build up, this film gets right into it and offers tons of non-stop combat sequences that would satisfy any lover of action films. Its erratic flow makes for some fun action scenes which come out of nowhere since Roy can expect the assassins to attack at any moment. If you play video games often and have ever been stuck on a level for hours or even days, you know the feeling of having to repeat the same thing over and over again u...

Better Man | Review by: Benjamin Garrett

What at first feels like a CGI gimmick allows Better Man to climb and swing it’s way beyond standard biopic conventions. This larger than life musical is worth a watch even if, like me, you needed to ask “Who the hell is Robbie Williams?”. A pop icon in the UK who didn’t quite make a household name for himself in North America, Robbie Williams bares his life (the good the bad and the drug fueled ugly) in this dazzling account of his rise to fame. Musician biopics often focus too heavily on the creation of the artist’s work, and not enough on the actual artist. Better Man gives audiences a sobering portrait of the man behind the monkey, with his songs placed in pivotal life and career moments to move the narrative forward. This works especially well if you aren’t entirely familiar with Williams’ work, because you won’t find yourself waiting to hear specific needle drops. Instead they flow organically into the story, with gorgeously choreographed musical numbers. And bo...

Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day | Review by: Stefano Bove

Four close friends and renowned filmmakers in 1959’s Yugoslavia are out to make a feature film of the war. They have a unique perspective and are able to discuss the war as decorated war veterans. Lovro, Nenad, Stevan and Ivan use film to express themselves and criticize society but that doesn’t sit well with the Yugoslavian Communist Party. As The Party steps in to control the film for propagandistic reasons, the four filmmakers fear it may be to gain insight on their sexual orientation. Emir Hadžihafizbegović is entrusted by the head of the Communist Party to oversee the films production but is also told by the party to sabotage the film by any means necessary. Emir as well as our four filmmakers are all exceptional in this film. The dynamic between these five actors is a wave of emotions as Emir hides his true intentions and the filmmakers hide their sexual orientation from the world. The film is in a gorgeous black and white and boasts absolutely stunning cinematography from ...
