2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019ās book ā1001 Movies to See Before You Dieā and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I wonāt be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself youāll have to buy it. But I will be covering the bookās suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldnāt doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. Weāre going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but weāre also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like āJokerā will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then donāt hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Letās get on with it then.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Pathos
In this chapter of āthe filmmakerās guideā weāre actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the āfilmmakerās guideā - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how youāre doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmakerās guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

These are supposed to be positive articles and made to brighten your day and mine. So, letās take a wild ride into my childhood, my teen years and what I absolutely adore about the film industry because it is alive and kicking (and if it isnāt, hell I might be out of a jobā¦).

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Invisible Man" (2020)
āThe Invisible Manā is probably best remembered as one of the scariest Sci-Fi novels of all time. By HG Wells and concerning a man who turns himself invisible and then has trouble turning himself back, it shows the descent of the human mind in knowing that they cannot be held accountable for their actions. Over the years, it has been adapted many, many times and some of them have been very successful and it has even been adapted indirectly such as in the film āThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemenā (fun fact: that was one of my favourite movies as a child!). āThe Invisible Manā was an amazing book turned into some amazing movies, but this one was not one of them. Let us investigate why.

A Filmmaker's Review: "I See You" (2019)
āI See Youā (2019) is a thriller starring Helen Hunt who cheats on her detective husband whilst he is in the midst of investigating why young boys are going missing in the area. They have a son that they are terrified for after they find him tied up in a bathtub. They also have some weird shit happening in their house that they canāt figure out and the audience blame on supernatural events, even after the mother sees the face of a demonic frog resting underneath her sonās bed whilst he is going to sleep. This film has the biggest twist that when you really think about it makes perfect sense, but it never gives you the āwhyā and so, it lost a couple of marks. It also never tells you why this guy who is stealing away these young boys is first of all caught and then not caught. You start to wonder about certain holes in the storyline and the film does its best to start tying up everything from about the second or third act.

3 Things to Get Your Mind Off Your Agoraphobia
As you know, we've been working together on our agoraphobia for a little while now and again, I'm doing this series because I'm hitting the decade mark for my diagnosis (thanks doc, it really helped to know). I'm not going to lie to you when I say that I had never even heard of the word when I was first diagnosed, I had never heard of either of my anxieties: agoraphobia and hypochondria. But, I am not going to lay down dead and do nothing but pop pills for the rest of my life. And there is no reason you should too. Your medication is very important but it can only go so far. Other things you should do is practice some habits that you can use to get your mind off those intrusive thoughts.

A Filmmaker's Review: "My Friend Dahmer" (2017)
āMy Friend Dahmerā (2017) is a film adapted from a graphic novel which I think we all passed around at school because we hoped this guy was a fictional character and we didnāt know he was real. Good grief he was real. And well, the graphic novel is quite dark and so, I was a little confused when I started watching this and I found that the film was trying to make me laugh along. Iām not going to lie, I wasnāt laughing. Knowing who Dahmer is, I was just incredibly uncomfortable and stuck with a look of disgust on my face. Honestly, I didnāt think it was funny though the film clearly wanted me to think so. I felt my intelligence was slightly insulted and whilst the graphic novel didnāt really want to make you laugh as its main thing, the film relied on that way too much for me not to finish half a bottle of Russian Standard Vodka in the first act. Letās have a look at the pros and cons of the film.
