That’s important to remember going into Anonymously You; a film that relies so heavily on its plot contrivances that it buckles under the weight of ridiculousness....
The Momo Tribe Out of all the Korean dramas I’ve watched, Arthdal Chronicles has been the one that’s been the most challenging to write about. Not only because of the length of episodes or interwoven character dramas, but because depending on what region you live in, Arthdal Chronicles is currently doing the rounds with a completely different title. In its native tongue, Arthdal arrives at it’s third part (essentially season 3) whereas the rest of the world have it listed on Netflix as one continuous season....
The Chosen One Following the cliffhanger ending of Assassin’s Creed II and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Brotherhood wastes no time continuing the Assassin’s Creed formula and returning right where we left off. Unfortunately the story this time around pales in comparison to the opening 2 games and while the enhanced gameplay mechanics add an extra layer of focus to the title, the plot suffers as a consequence of this....

Not Quite Rising High Enough Netflix’s latest German film Betonrausch (Rising High) brings us a movie about wealth and the lengths people are willing to go to achieve it, regardless of who they hurt in the process. It’s a concept that has been done before and more effectively in films like The Wolf of Wall Street, failing to allow Betonrausch to ascend to those same heights. While the movie is a decent watch, it does comes across as a little predictable at times and the comparisons will almost certainly be rife with this....
