Reality Check




Heartland Film Festival: ‘When Jeff Tried to Save the World’ is a high score for indie filmmaking

‘When Jeff Tried to Save the World’ is a fascinating character study set  against a backdrop of faded neon and gutter-balls. The cinematography  and set design is humble, yet charming, and the ensemble cast absolutely  knocks it out of the park. Despite being rooted heavily in a nostalgia  (of sorts) for the bowling alley of yesteryear, this film couldn’t be  more relevant for our generation and the one before it. No matter how  many quarters this one eats, Jeff is worth the price to play.

Horror films like 'Halloween' only come once a decade or so

David Green’s 2018 Halloween remedies this in the simplest way possible: by pretending everything after the original Halloween movie doesn’t exist, and you know what? I wish that were true, because the 2018 Halloween is the perfect sequel to the original.



Twenty One Pilots hits a bullseye with ‘Trench’

 ‘Trench’ truly could have easily been another ‘Blurryface,' but Twenty  One Pilots put in the effort to create a better, more unique experience  for the listener. The incredible production elevates the music to  another level and compliments the melodies sung by Tyler Joseph. The  story of the album is dense and worth diving into. But the main feature  is how the music constantly changes while still feeling like a cohesive  record. For those who have not listened to Twenty One Pilots, this album  is definitely worth listening to. For the fans of Twenty One Pilots,  this albums serves as a high point in their discography that you will  love.  


‘Forza Horizon 4’ is defined by a difference of nuts and bolts

 'Forza Horizon 4' offers some of the most fluid and unique experiences  that any racing fan would be dying to have. Unfortunately, the scale  seems to tip in both directions when considering the little tweaks that  throw the whole engine out of whack. It seems in this iteration, the  British edition of the horizon festival gets caught in the commuter  lane.
