A Filmmaker's Guide to: "Strangers on a Train" (1951)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

Movie Review: 'The Secret Society of Second Born Royals'
Disney's latest original, The Secret Society of Second Born Royals made me nostalgic for the days of the Famous Jett Jackson or Cadet Kelly. At least those movies were made with an awareness that they were low budget filler intended only for the undiscerning minds of grade schoolers. The makers of The Secret Society of Second Born Royals have made something that pretends towards Harry Potter with super heroes and ends up an abyss of mediocre predictability.

Movie Review: 'American Pie: Girls' Rules' Isn't as Bad As You Think
It may seem impossible given how bastardized the American Pie franchise has been since it became a staple of the direct to on demand services world but, the latest sequel, isn't terrible. American Pie: Girls' Rules isn't going to be well remembered, or well reviewed by most critics, and it is far from being worth paying to see in a theater. But, it has just enough good humor from a terrific cast to be passably entertaining.

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Devil All the Time" (Netflix, 2020)
“The Devil All the Time” (2020) is the much-anticipated film starring Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson with a supporting cast that includes the likes of Riley Keogh, Sebastian Stan, Mia Wasikowska and others. A Southern Gothic Romantic Horror is the best way to describe this film. It is something set in the times of the deteriorating Southern Places and the newer age of on-coming listlessness. Between World War Two and the Vietnam War, there are many other tragedies, each unfolding in different subplots that converge upon each other as the protagonist gets closer and closer to his mark and his mark gets closer and closer to his doom. As the story unravels, generations of family unfold into these tragedies, unable to cope and nowhere to turn, they prove in madness and terror that their God cannot save them now. As wives perish in cancers and murders, as men grow older and as husbands lament their wives to death, this film is gathering the conscience of everyone who ever saw the South disappear into roads and roads of emptiness and spewing it out into a violence against dishonesty. The grim and lifeless atmosphere beats in the heart of anyone who dares re-watch this modern classic of the Southern Gothic tale of love on the run, murder gone wrong and a resurrection attempt most foul.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Deliver Us From Evil" (2014)
Most of the time, I think that a mixture between horror and action would be a complete and utter disaster and that is why when I was at university and a friend of mine mentioned this film to me when it first came out - I chose not to watch it. It remained on my watchlist for six years and so, I have now given it a go and, as far as entertainment goes, it is entertaining. Unfortunately, it is not really much more at all. Meanings were not established deeply and cheap cuts of the Iraqi Supernatural themes found more prominently in “The Exorcist” (1973). The performances, though very good, were met with some shoddy dialogue and over-explanations that I felt took away some of the depth, meaning and tension/anticipation from the film. Thus, the film’s main section in which Santini is exorcised, becomes something almost boring, lengthy and unfulfilling. It walks the fine line between entertaining to watch and completely meaningless. Maybe it is better if you don’t think about it too much because then it really will be quite entertaining.
