Scorsese's 'Rashomon': A Remake Begging to Happen
Back in 1950 an unknown director named Akira Kurosawa invited the filmgoers to a rainy day in medieval Japan beneath the Rajōmon city gate, where a woodcutter and a priest were taking cover from the downpour. There the two are joined by a petty thief to whom they start recounting a disturbing story they have just witnessed. Now, what followed did not only launch the international career of a legendary filmmaker and introduce the world to Japanese film industry, but also gave us a truly fascinating cinematic exploration of human nature. One that is about time we continued.

Epic Pokemon Fusion Art
If you haven't been on the interwebs for a while, you might have missed the "Pokemon Fusion Generator" and resulting trend of posting your randomized (or intentionally spawned) creatures. It's usually a fun way to pass a few minutes (I just got a Nidogong, a mix between a Nidoran and Dewgong!) and see what early pokemon pixel sprites look like when mixed together - but some fanartists have taken it to an entirely new level, using the fused pokemon as art prompts for some glorious creations.

Auteurs Unleashed: 4 Ways How the Coen Brothers Break Convention
You've just seen a Coen brothers movie and someone asks you to describe what kind of a film was it. Are you going to start by talking about the story, tone, genre, etc?

However, when delving deeper into their varied and fascinating filmography, it becomes evident that there is a clear rhyme and reason behind that unconventionality.

Lost Under the Weight of a Franchise: In Defense of 'The Bourne Legacy'
I really wasn't interested in ever seeing this one. Indeed, with none of the key players returning, The Bourne Legacy just felt like an unnecessary addition to the iconic and beautifully bookended trilogy of films that changed the spy genre for good. Add to that a fairly negative critical reception and the fact that 2016's Jason Bourne was often summed up as "not as bad as Legacy" and I was perfectly fine with ignoring this seemingly misguided attempt to cash in on a famous franchise.
