Review: ‘Argylle’ spies many twists and turns
‘Argylle’ is an amusing fish-out-of-water picture in which a writer’s life starts to imitate her art when she’s ensnared in one of her espionage stories.

Review: ‘Dolittle’ is fluent in dog and fun (Includes first-hand account)
Even though we know animals probably don’t think the way we do, it’s nonetheless fun to project human reasoning and emotions onto them. People have imaginary/one-sided conversations with their pets and add humorous narrations to nature videos. Consequently, anthropomorphism is very prevalent in fiction as animals can be used to tell stories of social commentary as well as entertaining ventures. The more amusing narratives usually fall into the drama or comedy category, and have been presented in live-action, animated and the ever more popular CGI formats. Dolittle is a mix of these as it puts its personal twist on the tale of a doctor who can speak to animals.

Review: ‘Blockers’ highlights the absurdity of the double-standard (Includes first-hand account)
While technology and social media has widely changed the experience of growing up for young people, it’s also drastically altered how one parents these newly connected adolescents; some have even found how to use their kids’ attachments to their phones to essentially spy on their children. Naturally, an episode on Netflix’s fourth season of Black Mirror bleakly demonstrated how this “always knowing” could backfire. Even though the parents in Blockers don’t purposely track their kids’ online interactions, they become privy to information they’d have never known and entertainingly set out on a mission to intercept their children’s plans.

Review: ‘Sisters’ not only seducing cops with their charm (Includes first-hand account)
It’s at a snail’s pace, but things in Hollywood are gradually shifting in favour of female performers, characters and creators. Women directors are taking the helm and movies with all-female leads are appearing on the marquee more often. Statistics show films with these attributes perform well at the box office so hopefully studio-thinking will catch up with feminism sooner rather than later and start giving these projects the green light. In the meantime, it’s up to a select few to lead the charge. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler‘s Sisters is one of these pictures.
