Ra Or: The Inherent Romantic Nature Of Radiation Poisoning
He only notices I’m talking to him because he sees my hands gesturing wildly towards his computer screen. He doesn’t hear a word I say.

If This, Then That: From Denzel To Joel, To Wolverine - Here's Why 'Logan' Is Less 'The Last Of Us' and More 'Man On Fire'
Ever since the first images and trailer for the movie Logan (2017) dropped, fans on the internet made mention of the movie having a decidedly The Last of Us feel to it, and now that there is going to be a live action adaptation of the video game, the comparisons have resurfaced.

Escapism with Nowhere Else to Go
“You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.” - Maya Angelou On a surface level, you may love a film for the beautiful imagery or the lovable comic relief that you’ve known since you were a child. When you get older though, you might realize that the hour and forty-five minutes you spent fully immersed escaping the feeling of now has passed. If you enjoyed such a brief feeling of escape, you’ve probably enjoyed the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by director/actor Ben Stiller and will more than likely enjoy the documentary “Minding The Gap” by director Bing Liu, two films that express some form of escapism.

Watching from the Minds Eye.
The stories we choose to identify with can show how our minds work as individuals. Stories can aide in changing a daily perspective. Over time, sometimes not much time. The story will write you. Stories can change the truth you know to another type of truth, for better or worse is yet to be seen. I tend to be title driven, if an author can not get their tease on and, tantalize me with a titillating title, why would I gander a look? Accidents Happen..

Six Things to Watch if You Loved The Sixth Sense
Some stories follow predictable paths, while others throw us for a loop. Few on-screen endings have shocked viewers as much as director M. Night Shyamalan's 1999 thriller The Sixth Sense. Since audiences first learned that Bruce Willis was one of the dead people Haley Joel Osment was seeing, these surprise endings have continued to enthrall cinephiles and television watchers around the world.

Netflix's New Wave that we j'adore!
Netflix is not only a huge success but has revolutionised the entire film industry. Netflix has created history and already made one of the most iconic contemporary series and films in the recent past and continues to do so. Such as The Stranger Things, The Queen's Gambit, Velvet Buzzsaw, The Good Place, The politician and many more etc. Netflix's made such a huge impact that made the whole film industry restructure and follow 'Netflix's lead. In response, Apple and Amazon got into the film industry too. We can easily say that Netflix created almost its own genre, a new hybrid of films and series. What's interesting with Netflix's originals series and films is that it has a nostalgic feel. It might remind you at some point of some influences from the classics, but it's different, in a good way, almost like a mood board or a collage of all of our favourites iconic movies that we watched. Regardless, Netflix being inspired by already made films doesn't take away any excitement from the new hybrid movies; it' offers an entirely new fresh perspective regardless if it might remind you of old-time classics. The reason why we love Netflix's content that much than we end up binge-watching is because it's relatable to a new WOKE contemporary audience. Perhaps it's because it may include essential conversations that are more open towards mental health, feminism, diverse cast, or the LGBT community.

The Unsung Heroes of Hollywood
The distinguished American novelist William Faulkner once said of Los Angeles, “Everything in L.A. is too large, too loud and usually banal in concept…The plastic asshole of the world.” Are these harsh words spoken from the high-art literary giant the agonizing truth? Perhaps, yet as for someone who currently lives in L.A., I am still figuring that out for myself, forever staring into its captivating scenery as if it were a permanent Rorschach test. Some days, the ecotone of nature married with a proper city feels nothing short of paradise, especially for a cinephile and nature enthusiast like myself. Yet, the ghosts of Hollywood’s past and the ineffable lore of the city’s storied political and social history often evokes an ominous trepidation I can never fully put my finger on. Despite its astronomical cost of living and overall precariousness, I, like a moth to a flame headed out west into the illustrious and expansive territory. The movies on my list all revolve around the people who come to Los Angeles not to be seen, but instead to heard by means of their craft. The initial facilitators and often overlooked agents of film, I'm excited to be alive and witness an era of deep cultural change for writers that include more women, and voices from all around the world.

How To Find The Perfect Nicholas Cage Film
We’ve all been there before.

It’s frustrating, I know! So what’s the secret? How do you break free of the dreaded “Watcher’s Block,” as I like to call it?

If You Like This Kind of Music, Then These Musical Movies are For You
In my opinion, musicals are the greatest kinds of movies. They're great because they're like two-in-one entertainment. You get to watch a movie while also singing or dancing along to some great music. Win-win. But not everyone likes musicals. For many people, they find them to be cheesy, but to that I say, those people probably just haven't found the right one. Because musicals can span so many different genres both from a film standpoint and a musical standpoint, there is definitely a musical for everyone. And today, I'm going to help you find yours.

If you’ll have what SHE’s having, THEN…
If you liked “When Harry Met Sally,” you’ll LOVE “Glengarry Glen Ross.” This recommendation is not sarcastic or facetious. These two films have qualities that make them completely compatible for your friends and loved ones even though the films may seem totally incongruent at first glance. In fact, there are four ingredients to the formula that you can reuse to make excellent recommendations like this in the future.
