Coolie (2025) Movie Review: Rajinikanth’s Style Outshines the Story
Coolie promised style, action, and Rajinikanth’s mass presence, but did it deliver on substance? Here’s my full review on whether Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film lives up to the hype.

On 24 August 2024, All Time Low brought their biggest hometown headline show to Merriweather Post Pavilion with a kick-ass 2hr + concert. Emerging from Towson in 2003, All Time Low traveled back to Maryland to celebrate 20 years of pop-punk and alt-rock bangers, bringing an energetic stage presence with them. The collective sweeps of the neon stage with a revival of rarely performed songs such as 'Six Feet Under The Stars', 'Damned if I Do Ya, Damned if I Don't', and 'Remembering Sunday', alongside fan-favorites 'Dear Maria, Count Me In' and 'Therapy'. These, combined with silver confetti, explosive pyrotechnics, and epic strobe lights, created a nostalgic wave of singing and dancing from thousands of fans. Watch in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The show is available to stream with unlimited replays through On Air's website, mobile, and TV app from 12 September 2024.

The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
There is a lot of controversy around Q-force. It’s certainly not hard to see why—the series is quite hyperbolic. I will say, that was the first aspect I noticed on my initial watch. Right from the get-go Q-Force barrages you with gay joke after gay joke. This is hit or miss throughout the series.
I hate the idea that animation’s for kids; just because it’s animated doesn’t mean that it’s some silly cartoon and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
The assassins in Bullet Train are quirky, deadly, and diverse. Yet, they all seem to be some type of caricature. While the movie is fun and action-packed, it’s also packed with stereotypes that don’t make for the best representation.
Films can alleviate alienation by presenting realities where the viewers feelings are shared by onscreen characters. 'The Little Mermaid" film can be interpreted as a transgender story.
