Bruising For A Cruising
Whether writing a script, story or an opinion piece, I love to write. Film and television are my preferred subjects but I can and do, from time to time, write about anything that takes my interest. Still, it is film, television and all that surrounds it that really fires my passion.

The Artemis Fowl Movie Looks Terrible
So, they just released the trailer for the Artemis Fowl movie. I...I don’t even know what to say. I thought The Rise Of Skywalker looked terrible. This movie looks to be, to quote a certain television school teacher, as odoriferous as a dead man in July.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Quicksand" (1950)
I'm not going to lie, I had never even come across this movie before I just ended up finding it one day. It seemed like something I'd enjoy and so I went ahead and watched it. It's not very long but it is very, very good. Initially, I thought it was just going to be another film noir - but no, it's actually a crime/comedy film. It's hilarious.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Alice in Wonderland (2010)
March 3rd marks the anniversary of one of Tim Burton's strangest creations. "Alice in Wonderland" (2010) was released on this day ten years ago (as of the writing of this article - 2020). If you're like me and remember watching this in the cinema then let's feel sorry for ourselves once again as we travel back to a simpler time when the radio stations were blasting all the pop music from 2000-2009 in hope of ending the decade on a good note for the sake of nostalgia. Let us go back to a time when everyone born in the 90s was now beginning to really grow up and when we all realised that we wouldn't stay young forever. Let's go back to the year 2010 and take a look at why this film is actually quite culturally important. Yes, I said that. I said it was culturally important.

A Filmmaker's Review: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
So, I watched this film a while back and I have recently re-watched it because I found it on YouTube Movies and rented it for £3.49. I'm not going to lie when I say this but it was a great movie back then and it's a great movie now. It's one of those very unforgettable movies which has an amazing sense of obsession and self-destruction that is styled like a modern thriller movie. A film way ahead of its time, it makes for an excellent and immersive viewing experience with an intense amount of psychological treatment on behalf of the characters. It is an amazing movie which is resonant of the paranoid sociopathic films we have seen of the 1970s onwards.

A Filmmaker's Guide: Characters of Twisted Humanity
Twisted humanity, I must admit, is a phrase I coined and am currently working on within my realm of film analysis. During my MA, I studied the characters of troubling location, personality and disorderly behaviour - but I was also interested in the variant of that. The variant is what happens when a character is not outwardly or overtly 'bad' - what if their perception of what is considered humane or moral is simply twisted? Then, I sought to answer that question. Since my MA, I have not come to a definite answer but I have managed to amass a great amount of film to show you about what Twisted Humanity Theory is and how it works. In short, it is the on-screen personality of the main character who has a twisted perception of either a whole or piece of humanity through variations in their lifestyle, opinions, treatment of other people etc. which makes them either inept to certain emotions, a catalyst for certain situations or a vessel for the main problem within the narrative.

A Filmmaker's Review: "12 Angry Men" (1957)
Last night, I spent some time re-watching one of the smartest films of the 1950s. 12 Angry Men (1957) is a film about 12 men on a jury who get to decide whether an 18-year-old boy, accused of murdering his father, should go to the electric chair or not. With at first only one man voting 'not guilty' there is a slow, but steady uncovering of evidence plot holes that cause the jury to rethink their decisions and retract certain scenarios that could not have possibly happened. From re-enactments to copy-cat knives, there are so many holes in the presented evidence that it would only take a matter of time to decide. However, these men cannot be moved - will they spare this boy's life or will they convict? Is he guilty or is he not?

Terminator : Dark Fate - Arnold Has Still Got It
Terminator : Dark Fate, pretty much got killed at the box office in 2019. Jason Guerrasio of Business Insider had a appropriate summation to add up the negative. “It seems audiences are truly tired of this franchise,” Guerrasio wrote, and the general audience is not motivated to go to the theaters to see Terminator movies anymore. But it still got some decent reviews, and since Skynet has not yet taken over my entertainment delivery system, I put a hold at the library and got the DVD for free.

Uncut Gems
This is how I win. If anxiety was a movie this would be it. Rated R: Mystery/Crime 2019. The movie that shocked everyone. An adrenaline rush of the century in this film that’s undeniable. Academy Award deserving that’s clearly top 10 of one of the greatest movies from 2010-2019 largely considered throughout the masses of the nation. The sandman shocked and gripped us all. A story of hey where’s that twenty grand you owe? I got you with that next week. A man gambling with multiple things in his life to prodive and have his family thrive than survive while being in the a dark mist of his actions he’s not really taking accountability for catching up with him. Starring Lakeith Stanfield, Kevin Garnett, Abel (The Weeknd) Tesfaye, Julia Fox, and Idina Menzel.
