Movie Review: 'Hillbilly Elegy'
Hillbilly Elegy is a deeply overwrought and desperately misguided burlesque of backwoods Americana. An over the top Amy Adams and a downright silly Glenn Close chew scenery as they try to fill the void at the center of a movie based on one of the more dull and forgettable bestselling memoirs I’ve ever read. That Hillbilly Elegy was directed by someone as clever and steeped in Americana as Ron Howard is genuinely baffling.

TOP 5 MOVIES THAT MIGHT NOT MAKE 2020 SEEM SO BAD.
If you are like most of the world right now, you are at home telling yourself you're going to wake up early and workout in the living room and clean the house. But if you're like me, you're going to get comfy on the couch and scroll through your streaming services looking for something new and interesting to watch. I've watched my favorite shows several times since March and I was eager to find something new and intriguing to watch. The other night I decided to watch Inception again and it was just as great as the first time I watched it years ago. But it got me in the mood for a new sci-fi, thriller movie. I did some scrolling around and found the first movie on my list, The Mandela Effect.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Alternate History
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.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
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.

I Can't Stop Watching Santa Girl
There are some movies out there that grab us, pull us in and cling to us, shaping who we are and speaking to us on a deeper level, and then there are those that seem to grab hold of us for no apparent reason. I have a few like this, where I can recognize their badness or mediocrity and yet, something about them latches onto me and I can't get them out of my head and watching them becomes this sort of comfort food.

Visual Filmmaking in Russell Crowe's 'Unhinged'
A man sits sweating in his pickup truck in a suburban neighborhood. Distress is written across his face and a jumpy camera helps communicate his jumbled mental state. The man pops some unnamed pills from prescription bottles and begins to settle down. The man pulls out a match and lights it with his thumb. We get a shot of a suburban home with a for sale sign in the yard. Just from the visual cues alone you know where we are and what is about to happen.

Movie Review: 'The Twentieth Century'
The Twentieth Century is a truly bizarre movie. Set in Canada at the turn of the century that gives the movie its name, The Twentieth Century follows protagonist William Lyon Mackenzie King (Dan Beirne) on his roundabout journey to become Canadian Prime Minister. That’s an accurate thumbnail sketch of the plot of The Twentieth Century but it most certainly does not prepare you for the crazy you will encounter in this brilliantly bizarre movie.
