#ReleaseTheSnyderCut: Will It Happen?
#ReleasetheSnyderCut, already. The existence of a Zack Snyder version of Justice League is not new. It's fairly common knowledge that Snyder, who was directing the film at the time, left the film in order to focus his energies on his family following the suicide of his daughter. Replacing him, Joss Whedon, who was, of course, the director of Marvel's The Avengers. Reportedly, it was only planned that Whedon would do whatever pickups and other shots that might be necessary in order to finish #JusticeLeague prior to its November release date. It was expected that Whedon would still retain Snyder's initial vision for the film.

Why Kong MUST Win in Godzilla Vs Kong
Godzilla has atomic breath. Godzilla has armoured skin. Godzilla can swim. Godzilla is actually quite intelligent. These are most of the arguments made against Kong’s potential victory in the upcoming Godzilla Vs Kong and, to be honest, they’re all right. Realistically Kong could never beat Godzilla. It’s like expecting a gorilla to take out a crocodile.

A Filmmaker's Review: 'One Hour Photo' (2002)
This film had its ups and downs and as much as I adore Robin Williams, I feel like the main problem with this film was the way in which the story was told. The confusion stemmed from not really knowing the 'why' and thus, it becomes a bit of a challenge to follow especially in the latter half and towards the ending of the movie. Be that as it may, the film had many advantages that make it one of those films you cannot help but watch over and over again, looking for clues and seeing if there is even one little thing you missed.

A Filmmaker's Review: 'There Will Be Blood' (2007)
Considered to be the greatest film of the 21st century so far and one of the greatest films of all time, There Will Be Blood really does live up to its name. Let's have a bit of a history of me and this movie then...

A Filmmaker's Guide to Biopics
Biopics, we can all agree, are often modern masterpieces of cinema. They are, more than often, grand films that make appearances over and over again at the Oscars and star some of the greatest actors of a generation. There are also, bad biopics - ones that don't really measure up to the person they are trying to portray (looks at Bohemian Rhapsody in absolute disgust). There's something incredibly aching about these biopics, something that makes you say, "you had all that money and you made a film that my 12-year-old-cousin could've made on his own. Okay." There are however, three steps that you can follow in order to plan your biopic perfectly. There are also three steps you require to establish before you do anything at all and they are the simplest three steps ever. They go like this:

A Filmmaker's Guide to Shakespeare's Influence
We all know how accessible Shakespeare is on screen, from films such as Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing, Elizabeth Taylor in The Taming of the Shrew and even Mel Gibson in Hamlet. But what happens when we want to show that something is Shakespearean indirectly? Maybe this helps with how we're depicting our movie and how the audience recognise the story. Maybe this helps with the fact that the two stories are so closely linked it would be silly not to use the Shakespearean atmosphere and concepts to accentuate the plot line. Or, maybe you have these characters that are, in fact, incredibly Shakespearean in either the best, or worst, ways.

A Filmmaker's Review: 'Malcolm X' (1992)
Let me just say this. When I finally did watch this film all the way through, I had been wanting to for many years after only seeing the first half an hour or so a few times. Visually, the film is absolutely stunning, the acting is brilliant and the way it has been filmed coincides with the time in which it took place. On that point, the thing I really like about the film is that in some aspects, certain sections are filmed like news reports from the 50s and 60s with the cameras running after the people they're filming etc. and the various tracking shots on large scale marches.

What I Think of Animated Live-Action Films
By now, you may of heard of the new Sonic the Hedgehog live action film, and didn't know what to think. This is the first live action film for the iconic character. Also, people were pretty upset at the design for Sonic, however the studio listened and gave him a facelift. But today, my concern is turning something as weird and quirky like Sonic into a real-life character.

The Overwhelming Success of 'Joker' Will Not Dampen Marvel's Fame
The whole world splits into two sides whenever a comic book movie hits the theaters and we really can't blame people for it. The rivalry between Marvel and DC dates back to the 1960s when Stan Lee released the Fantastic Four comics. Today, the rivalry is still intact with both these companies releasing epic blockbusters and busting down the box office time and again. However, some movies really just has it all and irrespective of the company behind them, they are appreciated by fans all over the world. Joker is one such masterpiece.
