On March 18, cosplayers, J-pop fans and all flavours of anime enthusiasts transformed the Nest's Great Hall into a celebration of Japanese culture. Enter UBC Anime Club’s Pop-Up Hanami: one of the biggest events of the year by one of the biggest clubs on campus.
Filmmaker and UBC professor Antoine Bourges’ first feature film, Fail to Appear, is an striking commentary on the shortcomings of Canadian legal systems’ dehumanizing and disempowering approaches to the mental health crisis.
So instead of wasting away in pre-spring limbo, why not do some stretches, find a bamboo pole, and make the limbo work for you?

Love Hard might not be considered a must-watch, but it wasn’t the worst way to spend two hours during finals season.
If Tom Hooper wanted to considerably cut down the budget of his 100 million dollar movie he could have simply given them all name tags and called it a day.
Honestly, I’d be accepting of all of this if it wasn’t for the terrible dialogue. I never thought a Netflix movie could sound so bad.
I have finally come to terms with a fact that I’ve desperately tried to ignore for far too long: some of the storylines in Love Actually are absolute garbage.
I began to wonder why this film is categorized as a romantic comedy given the fact that there is a clear absence of both romance and comedy for the majority of its run time.
Now, in 2020, acknowledging Frosty’s menacing disappearance is more urgent than ever. The planet is our greenhouse and it is full of Hinkles.
From the flying reindeer to the red suit, coal, Christmas market, and even the milk and cookies, this story made sure to cover each base. Each tradition made its way into the film with no detail left spared, and each accompanied by a generous amount of comedy.
Overall, the film was cheesy and fun. However, the film fails to be “something revolutionary.”
However, upon actually granting the film my intent viewership, I would soon realize the fraudulence of my friend’s statement; in other words, he was full of shit. I’d been duped, people. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
If you’ve seen a Tim Burton movie, you might say the eerie and unusual nature of the films is better suited for a Halloween night. But I would argue that Edward Scissorhands is the best unusual holiday movie out there.
The plot, of course, has no possible analysis other than seeing it as the product of a twisted mind — screenwriter Daniel Meyer’s, to be exact.
The basic premise of the movie is reminiscent of early-Wattpad days, in which two strangers tired of being single during the holidays, decide to be each other’s platonic plus-ones for an entire year.
We don’t know why so many Christmas movies have to revolve around one person being super unfair and toxic to their partner, only to ultimately end with them still getting together at the end and not acknowledging any of the shitty stuff that happens.
