Movie Review: Gwen (2019)

Writer-director William McGregor’s period thriller, Gwen is a mix of subgenres set in the hills of Wales during the industrial revolution. A poor family struggles to keep their farm going under as their livestock is mysteriously butchered, a shadowy figure lurks outside in the darkness, and a group of men threatens the family in a push to get them to sell their farm, all while the mother is struck with sickness. Eleanor Worthington-Cox plays the eldest daughter and the star of the film. Her character is left to take care of her little sister, her mother, and the farm as her mother falls ill. Cox’s performance is incredible. Her character goes through so many troubles and she never fails to portray every scene, every emotion beautifully. I imagine it wasn’t an easy role, and for such a young actress, which leaves me highly impressed by Cox. The cinematography and scenery were absolutely fantastic. The way the land and the light

Episode Review: The Purge Season 2 Premiere

USA is gearing up to unleash the second season of “The Purge”. This time around we will see how the annual night of lawlessness affects people the other 364 days of the year, which is a first. I had the opportunity to see the premiere episode, titled “This is Not a Test,” ahead of its release that sets the stage for the rest of the season. We meet Derek Luke’s Marcus who is attacked in his home by a mysterious man, Max Martini and his crew who are spending their Purge night robbing a bank, a woman working for the city who witnesses the death of a friend, and a college student who is trapped by a killer. The episode hops between the three stories but does so in a seamless manner. There’s much more about the characters and their traumatic night that I could tell you, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. I will say this,
