Yellow Flick Road
The Yellow Flick Road By Antonio Jacobs July 2, 2004 Since its MGM release in 1939, The Wizard of Oz has captivated the attention of children and adults alike. Songs like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “We’re Off to See the Wizard” are as prevalent as nursery rhymes. Quotes from the classic film pop up in everyday conversation, as well as in movies, books, magazines and newspaper articles.

QUARENTINE FEEL GOOD MOVIES
Easy A (2010) Directed by Will Gluck and starring Emma Stone, Easy A is comedy film about Olive Penderghast, a 17-year old girl from Ojai in California. Olive is a girl that usually keeps to herself and sometimes feels pretty invisible to everyone around her. Yet this quickly changes, when a false rumour spreads that she has lost her virginity to a college student friend of her brothers, and overnight Olive becomes the central subject of school’s gossips. Olive decides to put her notoriety to good use, yet eventually Olive’s life gets out of hand and Olive decides to put an end to it (which appears to be easier said than done) and what better way to do that than via Webcam.

Why "CATS" was never meant to be on film
The 2019 movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, Cats is known for being terrible and also nightmare fuel. Criticisms ranging from CGI, to lack of plot, and extremely low ratings on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and other sites contribute to the flopped film.

Lockdown Film Season
As the popularity of online streaming services are increasing, it was only a matter of time before other franchises wanted to get involved with the change in how we’re viewing films and programs. Disney Plus launched in March this year, with film fanatics jumping at the chance to watch their favourite films for a few pounds a month — particularly exciting in lockdown. 50 million subscribers had signed up in five months, which was a great success for Disney.

A Filmmaker's Review: JFK - The Making of a Presidency (Netflix, 2017)
JFK: The Making of a Presidency Review This film took me by surprise because it is one of the first documentaries about JFK that I have watched that seems to have nothing to do with his untimely and brutal death. It was a documentary that shows us how JFK really became the JFK we know from the media and the person that we knew to be the POTUS, if only for a short time. We get to see inside his campaign and really see who was pulling the strings and teaching him the ropes. We get all the insights and the hows and whys are answered.

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Pact" (2014, Netflix)
I thought that this documentary was pretty impressive if not, sometimes rather invasive and impolite. It’s about Adolf Hitler and his family. It’s about the people who were related to him like his brother and it tells the story of how his brother: Alois, had a son called William. Then William moved to America, changed his name and had four sons. These four sons made a pact and they are still alive today.

The Moor of Hollywood
Writer and debutant director Oliver Parker’s 1995 film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello is a landmark in the long, extensive performance history of the play. One of a stream of the ‘New Wave’ Shakespeare films that followed in the wake of Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V (1989), Parker’s film succeeds over twenty recorded screen adaptations for film and television but represents the first time that Shakespeare’s great tragedy received a commercial, mass-market treatment for the Hollywood market.

On This Day: 1st Academy Awards Ceremony
On this day in May, 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, LA, California - the very first Oscars Ceremony was underway. A private dinner held by the then president of AMPAS, Douglas Fairbanks and ticket costs were $5 (which is around $74-75 in today's money considering inflation). Around 270 people took their seats to watch and the ceremony itself lasted just 15 minutes. The ceremony was neither broadcast on radio of TV with the idea of the radio broadcast coming in by the following year's awards show. There were 12 awards and the winners were announced some months before the event of the dinner itself. There were only 36 banquet tables required on the night.

5 Disney Plot Holes I Just Can't Explain
As a creative myself, it's quite easy for me to overlook plot holes and make excuses for them. Let's be real, it's not easy to create a whole different world perfectly, without missing something. It also annoys me when people complain about things that are unrealistic or people making stupid decisions. These worlds are already unrealistic, and we all do dumb things now and then, give them a break. For me, plot holes are things that don't make sense, even in the world that the story's set in. So when I talk about plot holes, it's because I find them interesting to think about, not because they bother me so much they decrease my enjoyment of the movies. Here are the five plot holes I'd like to discuss today. Oh, and of course...spoiler alert!
