A Filmmaker's Guide to: Postmodernism
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.

TENET: 10 Best Quotes
Christopher Nolan's new film Tenet was one of the few highly anticipated releases of 2020 to actually hit cinemas. Considering the pandemic, the film did reasonably well at the box office, though probably not nearly as well as it may have under regular conditions.

Some of the worst films I've ever seen
Let me clarify what I mean by bad films. There are films that are bad, but they're watchable because you can appreciate the effort that was put into the film and sense the potential of the film. The very first Terminator 3 film "Terminator Rise of the Machines" comes to mind. That's not what I'm talking about. Also I'm not going to be discussing films like "The room", where it's so bad it's good. Plus I'd never disrespect the legend that is Tommy Wiseau, that absolute lunatic. Lastly I won't be including films whose soul purpose is to be shocking or controversial because they're not even trying, they're just using film as a medium to be controversial. What I'll be talking about are movies that from top to bottom are atrocious despite their best efforts. Script, acting, directing, pacing, if they managed to miss all of these points they'll be somewhere here on this list. I'm also not going to give these films the honor of having their pictures on this article. That is how much I hate these films.

A Filmmaker's Review: "In the Tall Grass" (2019)
There is something terribly predictable about this film but also something that is almost fun about watching it. To be perfectly honest, I am pretty sure that about a quarter of the way through the film, you will be able to guess what is going to happen and exactly how it was going to do so. But, be that as it may, the film has a quality to not be like other horror films because there are no real ghosts or supernatural movements - it’s just grass. It’s far more philosophical and existential in its existence and the way in which this is moulded into an entire storyline filled with things that can be considered very philosophically frightening is something that only Stephen King could achieve in his amazing writing. There are several Stephen King-esque tropes that you can look out for in this film and that is part and parcel to the fun of it.

Movie Review: Stop Thinking About 'Tenet'
Once you accept that Tenet is no deeper than your average Fast and the Furious movie, it becomes very easy to enjoy. The perception that director Christopher Nolan has created around his movies such as Interstellar and Inception is that they are more than merely blockbuster entertainment. Instead, many have been led to believe that Nolan has big, high-minded ideas in his movies that require note-taking and homework.

Classic Movie Review: 'The 300 Year Weekend'
The 300 Year Weekend is a strange experimental film that, though made in 1971, has not been seen since. The film aired on television one time, more than a year after it was completed and was specifically kept from theatrical release. The movie was not aired in primetime either, but in a late night slot where it was likely swamped by Johnny Carson or lost in a sea of more audience friendly midnight movies. Let’s just say, The 300 Year Weekend is not for the casual film watcher.
