Sasquach Sunset | Review by: Benjamin Garrett

 Have you ever wanted to see a Sasquatch squirt milk from its breasts? How about watching poop come out of a Sasquatch’s ass? Maybe you’ve always wondered what a Sasquatch’s erection looks like. You’re gonna get all of that and more from Sasquatch Sunset, but beneath all of the explicit vulgarity is a movie that is, dare I say, kind of beautiful. 


The novelty of the toilet humour wears out its welcome quickly, serving as little more than a raunchy gimmick the film quite frankly doesn’t need. It’s shocking to see, and will surely be a big talking point when people discuss the movie, but it adds nothing of value. Actually, it comes pretty close to ruining the experience as a whole. 


At its core, this is a slice of life movie that also plays like a nature documentary (sans the iconic Attenborough narration). We’re merely observing these elusive creatures in their natural habitat, trying to navigate life and ensure the survival of their species. The Sasquatches are fragile, simple creatures. They resemble humans, but lack the basic intelligence and motor skills needed for many of the situations they encounter in the wild. It’s honestly kind of heartbreaking watching them struggle to comprehend something the human mind easily could. 


There’s not a single line of dialogue (plenty of grunting though), so this entire endeavour relies on visuals and sound design. The cinematography and colour grading is exceptional, capturing the greens and earth tones of the forest in all of its picturesque beauty. The lack of camera movement gives the whole project a voyeuristic sense - like you’re looking in on something you shouldn’t be able to see. The gentle, acoustic score compliments the painterly cinematography, creating a truly laidback vibe. 


Sasquatch Sunset captures a slice of unseen life in unexpectedly beautiful ways. It’s also plagued with unneeded explicit imagery and toilet humour. The balance is out of whack, but there’s still something special about getting to spend an hour and a half among these simple, elusive creatures. 


3/5

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...

Godzilla vs. Kong Film Review

         Godzilla versus Kong is the action movie we have been longing for since all major blockbuster films pushed back their release dates. After three solo films between Kong and Godzilla, we finally see the two titans clash on film for the first time in what is the culmination of the Universal Monsterverse. The story is split nicely in two as team Kong and team Godzilla each have their own mission. Team Kong is on a secret mission to the center of the earth to uncover the mystery of the titans. This team consists of Dr. Nathan, Dr. Ilene, Maia, and the Youngest character in the film, Jia. Team Godzilla consists of Madison, Josh, and Bernie who are also on a secret mission, to infiltrate Apex Cybernetics with the theory that they are up to no good and are the reason why Godzilla has been acting up recently. The dynamics of the teams are well balanced as the Kong story provides us with serious and more action-heavy bits in contrast to the Apex team story that ...

Inside Out 2 | Review by: Stefano Bove

  Nine years ago, Pixar introduced us to Riley, a young girl who is trying to grow with change happening with herself and her family. Her emotions; joy, anger, sadness, fear and disgust help her through these difficult times.   Now two years, Riley is 13 and is going through new life changes physically and emotionally as she tries to grip with the reality that the rest of her life relies on how the next weekend goes. All of these changes spark new emotions to grow inside of her.  It is a tough time for Riley that she must overcome. It is a snapshot in time that is probably a big emotional trigger for audiences as well as we go on this journey with Riley. Taking the incredibly intricate memory world that was established in the first film, the sequel makes a few minor additions that allow it to feel familiar but still fresh enough to keep us engaged. Many of these new additions are some of the funniest moments in the entire series.  With more emotions and human charact...
