A Filmmaker's Guide: "The Colour of Pomegranates" (1969)
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: 'Afterlife of the Party' Starring Victoria Justice
When he’s trying, director Stephen Herek is not a bad director. However, when he clearly doesn’t care, he makes dreadful movies such as Man of the House starring Tommy Lee Jones or The Chaperone starring professional wrestler Paul ‘Triple H’ Leveque. Afterlife of the Party falls somewhere between Herek’s best work, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and his more mercenary yet watchable work such as Rock Star or Mr Holland’s Opus.

Rico is getting older and has accumulated injuries and surgeries that have him under the microscope at work. He’s being pushed to retire or accept a desk job, neither of which he’s entirely willing to do. Instead, despite the immense pain he’s in, he still outworks everyone in the gym to try and prove he can still work.

Review: "Reminiscence"
Warner Brothers brought on Lisa Joy to direct this project, and is best known for her work in developing HBO's hit show Westworld. This stands as her first feature film, and sadly it swings big but it's a swing and a miss. Reminiscence stars a lot of talent both in front of the camera and behind it with Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, and Thandiwe Newton. The stars in front of the camera have a hard time elevating a script that is trying too hard to combine elements of familiar mind bending films that we have seen and loved in the past. From the outside, with all the talent involved, this film seemed like a hit for Warner Brothers but it simply gets in it's own way too often. It also struggles with a bit of an identity crisis, unsure of whether it wants to be a noir thriller or a sci-fi action and not really succeeding at being either genre. Instead, the film just ends up coming off as a lesser Inception or more aptly, Strange Days. In the early 2000s, these kind of films seemed to be flooding the market and just as a whole, other films did what Reminiscence sets out to accomplish much better.
