The Beat Behind the Wheel: A Review of Baby Driver

“You know when you’ve been in a song, and it’s a song you love, and you know every beat, every note — that’s how I live my life.” — Baby, Baby Driver (2017) There’s a moment early in Baby Driver when the city itself seems to hum to the rhythm of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s “Bellbottoms.” Tires squeal in sync with snare hits. A windshield wiper keeps time with a hi-hat. A coffee cup lands on a counter in perfect sync with a trumpet flourish. From that instant, it’s cl

The Original Frankenstein Trilogy: Foundations of Modern Horror

Introduction When Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus was first published in 1818 by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, it offered a potent fusion of Gothic horror, science-fiction speculation and moral inquiry. The tale of a scientist who creates life and suffers the consequences resonated through literature, art and theatre for decades. But it was in Hollywood in the 1930s that the story found its most enduring cinematic expression. Between 1931 and 1939, Universal Pictures p

Tron Legacy Movie Review

“The Grid. A digital frontier…” — Kevin Flynn You know a movie’s about to get deep when it starts with Jeff Bridges narrating like a Zen tech prophet. Tron: Legacy didn’t just update a cult classic—it gave it a glowing, EDM-powered soul upgrade. Released in 2010, this film arrived somewhere between the rise of iPhones and the birth of Instagram filters. It was slick, self-serious, and so visually committed that even your average gamer monitor couldn’t handle it. Let’s jac

Gods and Mortals: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of the DCEU

“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” - Harvey Dent That line — meant for Gotham — might as well be carved into the stone of the DC Extended Universe itself. From Batman Begins (2005) to Superman (2025), Warner Bros. and DC have walked a twenty–year tightrope between artistry and commerce, myth and management, chaos and rebirth. It’s a story that feels less like a timeline of films and more like a myth of its own — a pantheon o

The Nightmare Before Christmas Movie Review

“Just because I cannot see it, doesn’t mean I can’t believe it!” ✨🎃 There are movies that are good. There are movies that are great. And then there’s The Nightmare Before Christmas — the movie that somehow manages to be both Halloween and Christmas, spooky and sweet, creepy and cozy, all at once. Released back in 1993 (yes, it’s that old), this stop-motion musical from Tim Burton, Henry Selick, and Danny Elfman is pure handcrafted magic. It’s one of those rare films wher

Tron (1982) Movie Review

“On the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy.” – Kevin Flynn When Jeff Bridges delivered that line in Tron , he probably didn’t realize he was summing up not just his character’s digital adventure, but the next four decades of humanity’s relationship with technology. Released in 1982 — when “computers” meant beige boxes and floppy disks — Tron was Disney’s big, glowing leap into the digital unknown. It was part science fiction, part philosophy, and part light-show
