Why Kill Bill Vol. 1 is the perfect film.
"Art is subjective, but is it?" Two of the many things I pride myself on being passionate about is: my love for stories and my opinions. To review a film I find to be bad seemed a little too easy. I believe It’s easy to notice when things are done wrong or when they disappoint your expectations. That considered, to appreciate something and to be able to put it into words to convince you of why ‘Kill Bill vol 1.’ is a perfect film, seemed like the perfect challenge.

The Strange Misandry of 40 Days and 40 Nights
I noticed the other day that 40 Days and 40 Nights was on Netflix Canada. Right now, familiar things are comfort food to me. Yeah, I like new but sometimes you just want to throw on something stupid and fluffy that doesn't make you think. Boy was I surprised.

Manhattan (1979)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

Classic Movie Review: 'Continental Divide' starring John Belushi
This will not be a widely held opinion, but it’s mine: Continental Divide is my favorite John Belushi movie. Don’t misunderstand, I enjoy Bluto Blutarsky and the comic shenanigans of Animal House but that’s not the best of Belushi. The Blue Brothers? You’re going to hate me, but The Blues Brothers is a desperately overrated vanity piece. No, for me, Continental Divide, the mostly forgotten 1981 romantic comedy from director Michael Apted gave John Belushi the best vehicle for his talents.

Movie Review: 'Pieces of a Woman' One of Netflix Best Originals
Pieces of a Woman may be the best Netflix movie of 2020. That’s a shockingly short list however as Netflix has been rather slipshod when it comes to their original pieces in 2020. Movies such as Hillbilly Elegy, The Trial of the Chicago 7 and The Devil All the Time have been hit and miss fare with Hillbilly Elegy as a significant miss. Movies such as the remake of The Boys in the Band and the fresh comedy The 40 Year old Version have been highlights but until now, the company had yet to produce anything nearly as transcendent as 2019’s incredible Marriage Story.

The Social Dilemma Had Me Questioning Everything
In case you don’t know, The Social Dilemma is a new Netflix Documentary Film released in September 2020. The movie tries to explain to you the rise of social media among all the age groups of the society and How Many Tech Giants are using the data of the customers to manipulate them, which leads to mental health effects and gives rise to more and more conspiracy theories every day.

Movie Review: 'Soul' Another Triumph for Disney/Pixar
Disney and Pixar have done it again. The brilliant team at Pixar have created yet another masterwork. Soul is the kind of thoughtful, deeply felt and warm work of art that Pixar has become known for. The formula is perhaps, overly familiar, sticking to mainly two quibbling characters in a relatively predictable series of events, but nevertheless, Soul has the best qualities of a Pixar movie well in place.

Bad Bitches Snore
My fiance and I love to spend time together watching movies and our “stories”, as we like to call them. We usually make our choices by choosing films and then playing rock, paper, scissors to determine the winner. This time around was a great set list that I thought I'd share.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Auteur Cinema
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.

My 3 Unpopular Opinions About Film
As we have previously discussed, I have some unpopular opinions when it comes to film. People often find it difficult to accept them and accept that there are certain films that are considered great that I simply do not enjoy or that there are certain actors/actresses who are under or overrated. But I think the one that people get the most pissed off about is when I say bad things about films that they absolutely love. I'm not going to lie, I would be pissed off if someone unironically slated "I'm Not There" - but everyone is entitled to their opinion about something that is considered to be entertainment. This is simply my opinion. It is not a fact. It is not a universally acknowledged opinion. Hey, I don't even know if anyone else thinks this apart from me [shrugs shoulders]. But who cares? It's a bit of fun, we can have a laugh about it and then we can all move on.
