On Quentin Tarantino's Legacy, And The Shadow It Casts
Obviously, cultural history is littered with some controversy behind what is authentic or not, not to mention the debate surrounding art vs. entertainment. One could say that this chatter has been amplified since the onset of post-modernism. One particularly nagging development in recent decades has been the question of whether or not Quentin Tarantino is an authentic movie-maker, or if he is a "hack". It's a type of conversation that doesn't often happen outside of art circles, but here, with the writer and director of numerous wildly successful films, it's a regular staple in film groups.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Glenn Close
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.

The Best Character From Watchmen (2009)
If I was given the opportunity to rent out a theater and play one movie, I would choose ‘Watchmen’. I have always been a comic book fan and this movie is probably my favorite of them all. March of 2009, the movie based on the comic by the same name, grossed more than $185 million.

Coming 2 America
Sequels have always been seen as an easy way to make money in Hollywood. Even before the seventies penchant for adding a number to the end of a title to denote it being a sequel, Hollywood and the wider film industry were producing sequels, rehashing and reusing the same characters of a successful story in another film.

Movie Review: 'Moxie'
Girl power narratives are becoming more frequent in modern popular culture and I am here for it. It’s great to see the long held trope of ‘boys will be boys’ repeatedly upended by smarter, more capable and more interesting female characters. Now that you’ve cursed me for supposed virtue signaling, and we’ve weeded out those who’ve come here hoping to read a review repeatedly dunking on Moxie, we can actually talk about Moxie.

IF THIS, THEN THAT
You’re dreaming. A consensus on a good movie? Never. Deputising for her parents I am with Asha my granddaughter who insists that it is movie night. Now, I understand ‘Postman Pat’ and ‘Fireman Sam’ even ‘Shaun the Sheep’ but we have moved on to ‘Sponge Bob’ then matured to other bizarre cartoon type productions. Unrecognisable monster like characters in strange colours and features. They can perform supernatural movements with unbelievable speed. Did you notice their diminished feet? Some even had no feet at all. Being the designated adult during the school holidays to take Asha to the movies in town,I have had to sit through cartoon movies of psychotic dimensions. Frantic and unpredictable movement, brilliant flashes of bright colour with no resemblance of reality. Story line obscure with no reference to anything I understand. Yes I know I am a senior citizen and passed it. I can’t even figure out what some of the ads on Television are talking about.

Looking for a movie tonight?
I absolutely love movies! Every Friday when I was growing up my dad took out for dinner and a movie. Movie trivia....I can answer it. So here is my formula if you want to know what kind of genre to expect before you watch it.

Sound Off!
It was music to my ears when I heard that the movie Music did not win a Golden Globe. For months, I have heard about this movie that Sia made, and I hoped that what I heard was a lie.

Movie Review: 'Sometime Other Than Now'
Something you don’t know about me dear reader, I have long nursed a major crush on actress Kate Walsh. I was obsessed with her character on Grey’s Anatomy and when she spun-off to her own show, Private Practice, I never missed an episode, even when the show started to really stink. I even watched every episode of her short-lived sitcom, Bad Judge and enjoyed it just because I think she’s incredible.

Movie Review: 'As Long As We Both Shall Live'
As Long as We Both Shall Live is a movie with a very tricky tone. The film opens on a couple, Malcolm and Sarah (Josh Helman and Orange is the New Black star, Yael Stone) who are loving and playful and sweet. Then, Sarah leaves to go to the store and never comes home. On her way to the store, Sarah was in an accident and was killed at the scene. When Josh arrived, she was still being taken from the crash site and the trauma is long lasting.
