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 […]

March Ticketstubs
Possessor Possessor was released in early 2020 and quickly became a hit. It was written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg, son of David Cronenberg.

AMP Watches: Vampires Suck
We at AMP were feeling a little nostalgic this month and wanted to travel all the way back to 2010–the height of Twilight fever–to watch Vampires Suck, a film parodying the Twilight Series. We’ll start by saying this film is not good, something readers may be familiar with at this point. However, it was extremely […]
