'F1 The Movie' Is The Ultimate Fan Film - It's For The Purists

4 days ago | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

Summary F1 The Movie is the ultimate fan film; it’s for the purists. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Seeing fans walk away with a smile on their face was a warming experience – they deserve a cosmos-driven story that appeals to all their obsession. I could not help but have a slight smile during my screening of F1 The Movie, seeing fans donning outfits for their favourite motor racing team.
'28 Years Later' Is Twice the Film That '28 Days Later' Is - An Achievement I Was Not Expecting From Danny Boyle

1 week ago | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

Summary 28 Years Later is twice the film that 28 Days Later is—it’s arguably one of Boyle’s best films. The director has outdone himself by raising his beloved universe to another level that I did not think was achievable.
I Found the Remake of 'How to Train Your Dragon' Endearing and wonderfully Thematic

2 weeks ago | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

I often wonder–though the answer is obvious–why live-action remakes of animated movies are made. From an artistic perspective, you could argue that the merit is based on how true to the original they can make the film under an entirely different medium; how can real people, on-screen, represent our favourite characters?
Key Takeaways from the John Wick Spin-Off

2 weeks ago | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS The predetermined moment in the Ballerina ending is when Eve finally catches up to The Chancellor, an elusive man with an ideological worldview about the lives they lead. Eve lets him talk for a bit–presumably out of hesitation to conclude revenge for her father’s death–and maybe a slight moment of doubt to hear what he has to say–before shooting him square in the head, dead. Yet, Ballerina’s ending is not just about the action.
'Ballerina' Reminded me that the 'World of John Wick' is Worth our Time

2 weeks ago | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

There’s always a risk when you expand a universe–a fact that has sparked social media debate over the limits of the MCU–but Ballerina was the true test of whether this cosmos can remain on our screens. For starters, as I overexplained to my wife on the evening of the viewing, John Wick suffers from a marathon perspective.
'The Salt Path' - Film Adaptation Is a Beautiful Story on Resilient Marriage

2 weeks ago | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

It’s rare these days that we are delivered a film that brings a resounding green light on the sanctity of marriage. Often, we are presented with messages of absolute failure (see Marriage Story and Scenes From A Marriage), or relationship narratives centered on hedonism or degenerate actions.
'Mythic Quest' Season 4 Ending Explained - Ian Finally Does The Right Thing

Mar 26, 2025 | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS Summary The finale of Season 4 of Mythic Quest rounds off a good season, with plenty of stories left to chew on for Season 5. As strongly implied in the last episode, MQ is undergoing corporate changes that are creating significant stress for David.
Revelations (2025) Review - A Well-Balanced Korean Crime Thriller That Handles The Themes With Precision

Mar 21, 2025 | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

Summary Revelations weaves a dark, twisted tale of faith and trauma, with standout character depth from Yeon Sang-ho that grips and unnerves in equal measure. If you were to summarize the Korean crime film Revelations, you’d come to the consensus that the story is about testing one’s moral framework, with each character harboring different characteristics. Of course, there’s more to the story, which is dark and twisted in a pronounced way.
'Mythic Quest' Season 4, Episode 9 Recap - David Loses His Head

Mar 19, 2025 | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS Summary “Telephone” is short, snappy, and straight to the point, delivering one of Season 4’s best as David slowly manifests a breakdown. In Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 9, David is engulfed in a profound crisis, struggling to keep the company afloat.
'Mythic Quest' Season 4, Episode 8 - "Pootie Shoe" Wants a Change

Mar 12, 2025 | readysteadycut.com | Daniel Hart

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS Summary The overarching theme in this episode is good, despite it feeling like a filler. I was blindsided that we were offered a filler episode after the emotional ending in the last episode. But Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 8 is decent, even if it does not move the story forward.
