𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗧 (2020) In-Depth Review
Popular filmmaker Christopher Nolan's last released film 'Tenet' may seem incomprehensible to almost everyone at first. But if you try to understand a little carefully, it is a very thrilling and funny action movie.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Nonfiction Novels
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 Critique: B.A.P.S
Livin' large and Takin' charge! This '97 African American comedic film has been the ultimate cult classic. The movie opens at Johnson Soul Food Restaurant in daylight. Inside the restaurant, the food on the grill looks hot and greasy. Nisi (played by Halle Berry) dressed in her waitress uniform, blonde hair or blonde wig, long nails, and gold tooth give Nate, a customer, (played by Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite) but the toast is burnt. She takes his food back into the kitchen and scarps the burnt off toast. Nisi's best friend Mickey (played by Natalie Desselle) approaches and says, "Girl, don't pay him no mind he thinks he's Dolemite" referring to his film character name. After Nisi serves Nate his food, she hears an announcer on the radio that MTV and rapper Heavy D (played by himself) are looking for and giving away $10,000 cash prizes until Mr. Johnson (played by Bernie Mac) sees Nisi daydreaming and docks Nisi's pay. We meet Nisi and Mickey's boyfriends Ali and James (played by Pierre Edwards and A.J. Johnson) one dressed in the 1970s get-up pimp attire with 70s perm hairdo and the other dressed in a thrifty dollar store pimp. On their way to the auditions, Nisi and Mickey were dressed in over the top outrageous outfits and outrageous wigs, their wigs were blocking the screen on the plane, they met another rapper LL Cool J (played by himself) their first celebrity encounter. At the audition, there was a long line of aspiring female dancers auditioning to be in the music video. Just when they were about to head next to the audition room Nisi shows off her dazzling hilarious audition dance moves.

Groovin'
It's not often I watch comedies unless they're a hundred and five years old. That said, ONE comedy, 1974's The Groove Tube, directed by the late Ken Shapiro and starring a very young Chevy Chase, as well as a young Richard Belzer, is a notable exception. I first saw the kinky, psychedelic thing on Cinemax in the 1980s, when I was a wee tot (staying up late to watch things I shouldn't have been watching, of course), and it gave me sort of a sick feeling in my gut; a lot of it was gross-out, potty humor. It came straight from that OTHER world that had existed just prior to my birth: a world of the late Sixties, early Seventies, a place of funk music, Black Power, psychedelic hippie activism, pot, pot, sexual liberation...and, well, pot. The Groove Tube seeks to lampoon these variant societal tendrils, all the while satirizing the homogenized, domesticated intellectual fluff and brain-programming being offered up at the time on a regular, average, thirteen-channel tube television.

Movie Review: 'Let Them All Talk' is Meryl Streep's Latest Oscar Contender
Steven Soderbergh is one of our great directors. He’s a thoughtful director equally adept at thought provoking drama and suspense as he is at audience pleasing comedy. Soderbergh’s latest movie combines his talent for provoking thought and pleasing audiences. Let them All Talk is an HBO Max original movie starring Meryl Streep as an award winning author gifted a trip to London aboard the Queen Mary 2 who invites her oldest friends to join her.

Film Review: No Better Time Than The Holidays
We could all use something to celebrate right now, right? While many have thrown caution to the wind in the face of a global threat to our health and wellbeing, some of us are waiting for a more definitive sign that all is clear. As communities move cautiously toward reopened economies, large gathering points are still a cause for concern in most parts of the world.

Movie Review: 'The Stand In' starring Drew Barrymore
The Stand In stars Drew Barrymore in the dual role of a movie star and her dumpy stand in. The movie star, Candy Black, is a comedy icon in the vein of an Adam Sandler, who became a superstar for her gross out comedies where she was paid millions of dollars to tumble to the ground and say her ludicrous catchphrase “Hit me where it hurts.” Naturally, behind the scenes, Candy is a complete disaster.

Top 5 Worst Movies with Cops I had to Endure
After spending three months, working almost every day to attempt to watch as much content featuring police officers as is humanly possible in order to make a documentary proposal on police depictions, I feel I require a conclusion to this saga before I go on my first holiday in a year and three months. Said conclusion is what you are reading right now and the top two reigning champions of this list inspired it. Now I must provide a disclaimer of this article being merely my own opinion. However, I refuse. This is the ultimate truth. These films are just that bad. You can enjoy them, sure. Nevertheless, they are bad. I can say, with utmost certainty, that I would run a mile from anyone who enjoys number one. That may sound harsh now, but trust me, you will understand. I hope my list will bring you some closure from any sense of morbid curiosity about these movies and you do not decide to waste your time with them. Anyway, without any further ado…

The Walton's The Homecoming A Christmas Story
There is an old television Christmas movie by the name of 'The Homecoming A Christmas Story' that I found on YouTube. I remember watching this movie when I was child with my parents. This was the very beginning of the television series 'The Walton's that appeared on CBS in 1972. I remember watching this movie when I was a small boy and asking my parents this question "Was that what it was like when you were little?" My mom and dad always shared what their childhood was like with all their children.

Tenet: What Happened in Complicated Terminator + Arrival?
To say I am a Nolan fanboy would be a blatant lie, and to say I don't see his movies will be another one. The problem is I like to be amazed, but not like this, not by making a simple idea into a complicated storytelling.
