Movie Review: 'Best Sellers' Starring Aubrey Plaza
Best Sellers is a frustratingly conventional movie about two opposites forced to work together. It’s frustrating because this highly conventional comedy premise stars the remarkably unconventional Aubrey Plaza. Aubrey is far too interesting for a conventional comedy. Her talent for spiky line delivery and brilliantly awkward comedy defies convention. See movies like Black Bear or Safety Not Guaranteed or even a movie of hers that I don’t care for like Ingrid Goes West. Regardless of the role, or the quality of the movie, Aubrey Plaza can’t be confined by plot.

Ok I'll admit it ... I am a movie junkie
I know, I know, you'll read movie junkie and think 'poor thing wasting all that time watching tv'. But it's just not like that for me you see. For I am passionate about genius ... genius art, writing, music, technology innovation and more. When I see genius birthing, something deep inside me roars through my whole body, reshaping me, elevating me, taking me to new heights of who I am and what I can become. So I search for and watch amazing shows that captivate, enthral me and epiphanize me.

Movie Review: 'Cry Macho' Starring Clint Eastwood
Cry Macho’s best asset is that it isn't as completely unwatchable as some of Clint Eastwood’s most recent movies. The Mule was obnoxiously slow and dedicated to polishing Eastwood’s ego while his take on the true life drama of the Paris train incident, 15:17 to Paris, is a shockingly awful movie where Eastwood the director looked nearly as amateur as his cast of non-actors blandly re-enacting their much ballyhooed act of heroism. 15:17 to Paris is awe-inspiringly terrible, especially coming as it does from an Academy Award winning director.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "Variete" (1925)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re 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 ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - 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 you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Movie Review: 'Copshop' Starring Gerard Butler
Copshop is not a movie that I was looking forward to. I have a long standing one sided feud with actor Gerard Butler. He has no idea that I exist and I hate every movie that he makes more and more and more. So, I did not go into Copshop expecting much other than Butler’s usual brand of meathead, mindless, action nonsense. Butler’s brand is more bullets than brains and I can’t be mad at that, other actors are quite good at that brand of action. Butler’s version unfortunately tends toward the smarmy and obnoxious and that’s where I draw the line.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is a movie that I remember not liking when I was a child. Later in my teenage years I re-watched the movie and discovered it was a really good. Now in my older years I wanted to test it out and see how I thought of it with today's climate of political correctness in mind.

Story Structure Breakdown: Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino, a non-linear, darkly comic, noire masterpiece that officially made QT a household name and a legend. This breakdown is going to be tricky, as the standard structure is there, it’s just in a different order. It’s three character journey’s: Jules, Vincent and Butch. Jules’s bookends the film, with Vincent and Butch’s in the middle, each with their own structure and told in linear order. The last act is Jules’s journey, even though chronologically the story ended when Butch drove off on Zed’s chopper. It seems confusing at first, but when you really break it down, as I’m about to, it’s not. I’m going to use WORLD STRUCTURE for the overall story, indicated below in bold titles, and CHARACTER STRUCTURE for each journey, indicated in brackets. And keep in mind this is just MY INTERPRETATION of the structure of Pulp Fiction using my own method that's a simpler version of Save The Cat. But maybe I’m totally wrong and you may have a completely different viewpoint. I’ll be using my Simple Screenplay Structure method to breaking it down, which I use for all my structure breakdowns. But enough rambling, let’s get this twisty-ass structure broken down, so get some Scooby snacks and settle in this is gonna be a long one!

Is it worth to be in love in 2021
Why is love so easily dismiss in the New Cinderella 2021? Is that a feminist trait? After being bombarded by a heavily marketed new Cinderella movie by omnipresent Amazon marketing, I decided to sit and let myself be entertained by this controversial new spin on a classic tale. You might be wondering; do you need that kind of content? No, I don’t, that movie was not targeted for me, I’m no audience for it, but I was curious to see how can you make this story more modern and up to date with today’s younger audience.
