An actually autistic person reviews Sia's movie Music
The three films that I had previously refused to watch were Cannibal Holocaust, A Serbian Film, and Music. I still refuse to actually sit through the first two movies, but I recently forced myself to sit through what I consider to be more disturbing than I Spit On Your Grave. Unlike the 70s classic about survival and female empowerment, Sia's directorial debut does NOT have a reason to exist. I had been telling people for months to not waste their money on this film because I could tell by the trailer that it woefully misrepresents autism. Of course, that didn't stop trolls from tackling me on social media and saying things like "dOn'T jUdGe It If YoU hAvEn'T sEeN iT". Now that I have seen it, I can judge the absolute s**t out of it.

Tonight, Match Your Mood With a Movie
Different moods require different cinematic measures. Every single movie awakens different feelings and emotions within us. There's a reason why when we're exhausted, we don't want to watch anything too complicated. We don't feel like watching anything sorrowful and despairing when our mood is already down. What we decide to watch at the end of the day can influence our frame of mind. It can also be significant in how we perceive the next day. I have created this list of films to watch based on your current mood to help you deal with what you're feeling in the moment, give you an alleviating distraction, or inspire you.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Death on Screen
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: 'Young Hearts'
Most of us have nostalgia for a first love. You likely remember that first person who stirred up your hormones and with whom you enacted what you assumed a relationship was like. Adolescent fumbling's of first kisses and sexual experimentation are among the most universal of human memories. That said, most of us did not have the most cinematic experience. Sure, the lens of time has rendered the memories in a fashion that has kept the highlights, but it wasn’t exactly the thing a great narrative is built upon.

WEDDING CRASHERS - 16 Years Later
Looking back, can you think of any movie that continues to resonate years after initial release? In light of recent rumors regarding a potential sequel, I went back and rewatched Wedding Crashers. Simply put, all the comedy gags hold up just as well as they did back in 2005, and then some…

A Filmmaker's Review: "Waxworks" (1924)
I have seen this film a few times in a few different forms. I have seen badly reproduced versions and I have seen the brilliantly reproduced versions but this one I own published by the 'Masters of Cinema' series is the best one I have seen. The lost German intertitles are filled with English ones and it definitely looks like the visuals have been played with so that the colours of night and day come through and the visuals themselves are also a little brighter and sharper. I just want to share with you how much I think that this film should be watched by many other people.
