Defending Joker Folie a Deux
Joker makes the argument that his sequel is a decent movie. "The second Joker film might be messy, maybe the plot drags on a bit and the musical numbers certainly can be jarring. It may not be a perfect film, I'm not saying that! Nobody is, but awful?! A one star flop, unworthy of recognition? Come on people! Don't let the loud, thunderous voices of harsh critics cloud your judgement entirely now. Although this sequel doesn't live up to the hype and expectations of the original, that does not necessarily mean Folie a Deux is completely unwatchable! On the contrary, I'd wager that there is plenty to enjoy about this sequel that many have chosen to look over completely. May I remind you of Joaquin's outstanding acting in the original movie? Well, he has certainly carried over that talent into this follow up. He essentially plays two roles in this film, that of Arthur Fleck and his dark alter ego, The Joker! Both personalities are rather different. Arthur; the shy, mentally traumatised loner who knows little outside of misery. Joker; who is the polar opposite! A confident, theatrical character like some comic book super villain, one who has a dark sense of humour and dances rather spectacularly! Yet, the way Joaquin flips between both characters is honestly flawless and believable in both films. Can you honestly say other, your honour? How about Lady Gaga's performance in the film? Not only is she a talented singer, but-" "Objection, this movie is about Joker!" Harvey Dent yells.

Joker: Folie à Deux
Back in 2019, few believed a standalone Joker movie would be successful; thanks to its adult-oriented approach and an excellent performance from Joaquin Phoenix, WB and Todd Phillips struck gold. Five years later and the sequel has taken a staggering downturn.

The script was written by David Koepp, the screenwriter of the first Jurassic Park and its first sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. A fascinating link to the series' history will be made possible by the return of original feature director Steven Spielberg as executive producer of the next picture.

Mind Your Own!
October has arrived... I feel it in the air after a very long and stubborn run of humidity and warmth that made many Canadians feel as if there was some sort of meteorological joke playing out among us. As we say, 'If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes...'. Something is always coming down the pipe. And change and surprises are very much on my mind as I write this.
