Just For Talks: 4 Ways How The Before Trilogy Casually Challenges Conventional Filmmaking Truths
Whenever feeling underwhelmed or emotionally detached from a film, it's perfectly natural for one's mind to wander towards the ones that got it absolutely right. Only thing, in my case, that often means thinking about a trilogy of films that themselves seem to go against many of the conventional filmmaking wisdoms of "getting it right": the Before trilogy.

Movie Review: 'Resistance' Starring Jesse Eisenberg
Well, I won’t be cracking wise about mimes again any time soon. The new World War 2 movie, Resistance, tells an astonishing true story about the man who remains the most famous mime in the world, even more than a decade after his passing, Marcel Marceau. Portrayed by a winsome Jesse Eisenberg, we find Marcel Marceau a romantic hero who risked his life to save tens of thousands of children from the Nazis. It’s a story anyone who has ever made fun of mimes has likely never heard before.

8 Movies With Unique Perspectives on Death
1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Miloš Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is brimming with psychotic energy. However, let's face it: Part of that energy is actually pretty dark, if not plain morbid. By the end, there are themes of suicide as well as euthanasia. Plus, many of the characters are essentially caged inside themselves, with the psychiatric hospital outwardly representing their inner turmoil and suppression. Randle Patrick "R.P." McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) ultimately becomes a shell of his former self — both good and bad — and therefore already dead. Billy Bibbit (Brad Dourif) is destroyed by his inhibitions, as well as the outside world trying to control and manipulate his judgment. All does not end well.

A Filmmaker's Guide to 80 Things You Should Know About "The Matrix" (1999)
"The Matrix" (1999) is known for its revolutionary film techniques, its visionary composition, its amazing visuals and its intense score which only made the tense scenes a lot more tense. The vision was first established by the wonderful Wachowski Sisters. I personally really enjoyed the first film, but I didn't enjoy the other two that much. The first one was very enjoyable and felt like a real experience, whereas I think maybe the novelty wears off after this. I think that the cultural impact of "The Matrix" (1999) reaches to far more than just fancy visuals and media experiences of different kinds because if that were the case then why do people still watch the film today with all the newer and more novelty film mediums being released?

Unpopular Opinion: Batman & Robin is a good ‘comic book’ film
It is a truth universally acknowledged that ‘Batman & Robin’ is the worst film ever made. It’s been over 20 years since the film debuted to great revile, and people are still talking about it. Every time a new Batman property is announced, the distaste for ‘Batman & Robin’ rears its head once again. There’s no arguing that the film isn’t polished, but is it really a bad ‘comic book’ film?
