Super Troopers 2
Contemporary Review / Review

Super Troopers 2

Posted on April 27, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Tyler Jennes It’s almost hard to believe that it’s been more than 16 years since the twisted minds of the comedy troupe, Broken Lizard, made the first Super Troopers. This is a film that has gone down as one of the definite cult-classics of the 2000s era; one that has achieved a large audience … Continue reading →

Marvel’s The Avengers

Posted on April 26, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Jonathan Cornell I’ve seen every Marvel Cinematic Universe film opening weekend for almost ten years now and, while I do remember each of those eighteen trips to the movie theater pretty well, none of them stick in my mind as clearly as 2012’s Marvel’s The Avengers. Iron Man had already proven that this new … Continue reading →

Train to Busan

Posted on April 22, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Alistair Bennie Underwood Train to Busan is a 2016 South Korean Zombie film. This movie reminded me why I loved zombie fiction and  zombies in general. This movie deserves to be on the list of any fan of either, or even if you are bored and want a new movie to sink your teeth into. … Continue reading →

Contemporary Review / Review

Godzilla(2014)

Posted on April 21, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Alistair Bennie Underwood Godzilla (2014) could very well be the best version of the enormous monster that we have to date. The typical story is known far and wide; enormous lizard shows up and starts eating Japan. Godzilla is a world wide icon that anyone and everyone instantly recognizes, similar to Sherlock Holmes. You … Continue reading →

The Death of Stalin

Posted on April 19, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Alex Bird The Death of Stalin is an understated dark comedy about the end of an era and the frantic plotting and planning of those tasked with deciding what comes next. The stakes are even higher as each member of the central committee, the governing body of the Soviet Union, knows that a wrong … Continue reading →

A Quiet Place

Posted on April 18, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Stephen Shea Recently, actors most famous for television comedy roles have directed surprisingly great horror movies as their relative directing debut. Jordan Peele was the breakout director of last year and this year it’s John Krasinski. A Quiet Place is breathtaking and one of the most intense moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had. Without saying … Continue reading →

Iron Man
Review / Throwback Review

Iron Man

Posted on April 17, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Jonathan Cornell I’ll never forget when I first saw Iron Man. It hit theatres at the perfect time, just as elementary school was winding down and before camp would begin. My third grade self wasn’t exactly a discriminating moviegoer, so, when my dad suggested we go see it, I didn’t really know what to … Continue reading →

Isle of Dogs
Contemporary Review / Review

Isle of Dogs

Posted on April 16, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Tyler Jennes There are few stories that are more simple and resonant than that of a dog and its owner. Films depicting man’s best friend appeal to us simply because we hold such deep emotions for our own pets. This is why in the flashback sequence of Isle of Dogs, depicting our young protagonist’s … Continue reading →
