Movie Review: 'Safer at Home'
Safer at Home is a thriller set in what hopefully will remain an alternate reality. In Safer at Home, it’s 2023 and Americans are under a brand new and even more severe COVID lockdown. We are told that the police and military are in the streets enforcing curfews in major cities and that the death toll has increased severely as new strains of the Coronavirus find new purchase across the country.

A new breed of disaster film...
If you are anything like me, then you are a film fanatic, sometimes bordering on being a film snob. There are some genres you love, some you put in the “not so much” column, and those that you will absolutely, under no circumstances whatsoever be caught dead (or alive) watching. Well…that’s kind of the ground I dwell on. But lately, Hollywood has struggled to put out films that really get me excited. Don’t get me wrong…they put out “entertainment”, but it is at most a momentary distraction.

If You Like This Movie: A Guide for People Looking to Get into Classic Movies
Many young people are curious about older movies but don’t know where to begin. No one wants to waste their time watching something they’re sure they won’t enjoy but how do you determine if you are going to enjoy something without watching it? This made me think, as someone who has watched more movies than your average person, how I might help the people find older movies that might fit their taste.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Jack Nicholson
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: 'Crisis'
Crisis is a quite good drama about the opioid crisis and the ways in which our government and major corporations selling opioids have grown unscrupulous in their dedication to greed. Directed by Nicholas Jarecki, director of the Golden Globe nominated Arbitrage, Crisis has the ambition of Traffic if not that film’s incredible execution. Though Crisis is quite a good movie with a group of terrific performances, the film’s preachiness is sometimes a turn off but not one that ruins the movie.

Top 10 Romantic Travel Movies
There is nothing more romantic than finding love through travel. Yes, you can have a fling while on the beaches of Hawaii or get down and dirty at a Slovakian beer festival but there is more to romance travel than just finding your next true love. It is more about finding yourself and falling in love with that person. You have literally known yourself inside and out for your entire life. You are the last person that you think about before going to bed at night and the first person you think about when waking up in the morning.

Black and white are shades, not colours
The year is 1992. There are racial related riots in the city of angels, between blacks and koreans and blacks and whites and koreans. Needless to say the racism tension was at a quite a high level. The Rodney King incident didn't help much at easing the tensions either, so the great nation of US and A was pretty much divided between groups belonging to different shades of grey.

The meaning of life according to Soul
The pandemic reality we all have found ourselves in provides little to no possibility for experiences at cinemas. We had to get used to watching movies at home, and the smell of freshly popped popcorn from a microwave is nothing compared to that at your local movie theatre.
