Treasure Planet - Disney's Lost Trove
Treasure Planet (2002) is an underrated work of pure art and a labour of love. Many have written about its failure, and some have mourned the passing of one of Disney's final traditionally animated adventures; casualty to a gear-shifting pivot towards the new glorious age of computer generation.

Top 5 Movies Set in Hawaii
The new Netflix comedy, The Wrong Missy, stars David Spade and Lauren Lapkus in a romantic comedy about a guy who invites the wrong woman named Missy on a corporate retreat to Hawaii. The film was shot in late 2019 on the Big Isle in Hawaii and well prior to the global pandemic which has made travel to one of the most beloved tourist spots in the world impossible for most.

The 2000 Movie Project: 'The Big Tease' is the Most Forgotten Movie of the Year 2000
We are at the beginning of our exploration of film form in the year 2000 and it is likely too early to identify a particular trend, aside from bad movies, lots of bad movies early in this century, I’m looking at you Supernova and Next Friday. But if I were to force the discovery of a theme perhaps one that stands out is fumbling attempts at experimenting with film form. In Next Friday, that meant employing some of the most awkward fourth wall breaking voiceover I think I’ve ever experienced.

The Half of It...A Review
Even as an Asian-American teen myself, this Netflix spin on high school identity, the structure of friendship, and the philosophy of romance came as a surprise. I braced myself for yet another cheesy take on Asian American girls as math obsessed or boy obsessed (hint hint TATBILB), and some sickly sweet and predictable ending. However, thankfully my cynicism was proved wrong, but it was still reasonable founded.

Terminator Plot Holes
The first two Terminator movies are near the top of my all-time favorite films list. But as good as they are, they're not perfect. There are things they fail to explain. Join me as I look at not only them, but the rest of the series.

A Filmmaker's Guide to the 40 Things You Should Know About "Pulp Fiction" (1994)
Pulp Fiction (1994) is normally a favourite amongst the clan of 'movie buffs' who watch Fight Club on a regular basis and live in their mother's basements at the age of 35. But, it has been analysed and analysed and over analysed by these people that the movie itself has become a kind of cliché whilst these men pretend to be edgy movie-goers, they have pretty much worn the film out for most people.

The 2000s Movie Project: The Toxic Masculinity of Play it to the Bone
We have proof that Ron Shelton is a talented director. His Bull Durham is an unquestionable masterpiece. Bull Durham is arguably the greatest baseball movie ever made. Bull Durham is romantic, quirky, funny and dedicated deeply to the love of baseball. Bull Durham comes from a director who is assured, confident and masterfully in control of tone and style. How did that same director also make Play it to the Bone?

All day and a night
All day and a night written and directed by Joe Robert Cole was released on Netflix May 1, 2020. My visceral reaction was this story is raw ugly and beautiful. This story under different circumstances has happened many times and is going on right now in real life. While serving a life sentence Jahkor Abraham Lincoln(Ashton Sanders) reflects on his life, family, friends, circumstances and system that lead him towards his crime.

Movie Review: 'Spaceship Earth' Rethinking the Legacy of the BioSphere
Wow! I can't believe I completely forgot that BioSphere was a thing. As a student of history and culture it is unthinkable that I could have forgotten about this unique and strange bit of history. As a fan of reference humor I certainly should have stowed this memory away to drawn upon it for comic reference but no, until I saw the documentary, Spaceship Earth, I had completely lost the memory of BioSphere.

A Filmmaker's Guide to 45 Things You Should Know About "Vertigo" (1958)
One of my favourite films of all time and possibly one of my favourite films by Hitchcock next to Strangers on a Train (1951) - Vertigo (1958) has constantly been referred to as one of the greatest films ever made due to its deceptive and dark nature. Its ability to keep you guessing and keep you invested in the entire story is something you hardly see anymore in film. The great performance of Jimmy Stewart and the magnum opus of Kim Novak are included in this classic psychodrama in which you will constantly feel as if you've missed something important. It is a brilliant movie that plays with fear and toys with trust. I absolutely love it and watch it whenever it appears on TV or whenever I need a thrill.
