AMP Watches: I’m In Love With a Church Girl
When the film declared it was executive-produced by God, we at AMP knew we were in for a gruelling ride. Don’t get us wrong, we don’t have any problem with religion, barring any dogma that stems from it, but something about I’m in Love With a Church Girl really put us off. Perhaps it was […]

February Ed Desk
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that nothing is impossible — but just in case you managed to miss that lesson, January 2021 made it a point to really drive that message home.

That’s why we decided to watch one of the members of our editorial board’s favorite movies, Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Fear not though, dear reader, because whilst Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed may be the apex of […]
