“Filthy Vermin” 🪳 . Top Story - April 2024.
Quick Note: this free verse is a little about self-doubt, the things that sometimes bring us down and learning how to break the dis-identification from the mind - I.e taken from Eckhart Tolle’s books.

Cold War - My Thoughts 💭
This is a previously unpublished review from late 2018. "Cold War" - Dir. Pawel Pawlikowski "Cold War" is a Polish drama-romance directed by Pawel Pawlikowski, shot in black and white and framed with a 1.37:1 ratio. There aren't really any other pivotal characters besides the two leads. When I heard this film was comparatively quite short and spanned two decades - I was uncertain how on earth a cohesive tale could be pulled off. Has Pawlikowski fashioned a romantic epic, or has the hyped publicity pulled the wool over our eyes and made us cold with disappointment?

“The Power of the Dog” - My Thoughts 💭
“The Power of the Dog” - Dir. Jane Campion *This is a slightly expanded version of my prior film review from 2021. 🎞 Although it doesn’t at first appear to be much like a Campion film, I’d say that “The Power of the Dog” is a return to form for Jane Campion - after two uneven seasons of “Top Of the Lake” (2013 & 2017) and her last feature film “Bright Star” as far back as 2009. Overall, this film is more so Campion exploring different territory with this male-centric neo-western, instead of her back-catalogue of predominantly female-driven stories with highly feminist rhetoric - yet her reoccurring themes of power and desire are still ever present. The widely acclaimed “The Piano” (1993) is probably my favourite of hers, although I appreciate all her works.
