September 11, 2026 Paul Bramhall
"Legend of the White Dragon" Poster

Losing your lead actor before filming has wrapped on a production is never easy, and not taking into consideration the emotional toll, the approaches taken to finishing a production that’s lost its lead over the years have ranged from questionable to admirable.

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025) Review

July 14, 2026 Paul Bramhall

Considering the elegance and beauty of ballet, in the world of cinema being a ballerina can often be a sign of danger. From Jeong Hye-gyeong’s taekwondo infused ballerina routine in 1977’s Secret Agents II, to Jennifer Lawrence’s seductive moves in 2018’s Red Sparrow, tutu’s have never seemed so lethal as when they appear on the big screen. In 2025 Ana De Armas would join their ranks in Ballerina, who after … Continue reading →

Having attended both screenings at the New York City Independent Film Festival last week, it’s taken me some time to evaluate it—not because it’s obscure, but because it demands engagement from its audience. What makes Broken Rhythm so compelling is also what makes it challenging to write … Continue reading →

June 11, 2026 Z Ravas
