Demons and Hair Cuts: A Movie Review of “Sweeney Todd”
As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.
The Last Five Minutes
Teenager Finn and his mother rush to visit his ailing grandmother, who’s been placed in a soulless long-term care home on the opposite side of the country. When Finn’s mother steps away momentarily, he discovers his grandmother’s silent suffering. In an awkward moment, Finn musters the courage to express empathy and concern, initiating a conversation. As the crisis unfolds, his grandmother, in desperate pleas, implores Finn to assist her in ending her pain and suffering. With his mother’s return imminent, Finn faces a gut-wrenching decision: obey his mother’s wishes or fulfill his grandmother’s final request. The climatic action occurs as he struggles with this life-altering choice, shaping not only his relationship with his grandmother but also revealing the complex dynamics of love, compassion, and mortality within the family

'A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night' Review: A Powerful (If Unintentional) Look At the Exploitation of Women
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, though its feminism may be unintentional, cannot exist without its focus on women reclaiming power.

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is mesmerizing, poetic, and stunning, both for its portrayal of feminist ideas and its powerful story that is both horrific and subtly romantic at once.
