'Twinsanity' - A Review (Netflix)
I am not a particularly religious person. A doctrine that invites self-flagellation is not for me; who needs to find reasons to punish themselves? Not me. That being said, people like to punish themselves even if it is in a roundabout way. Some drink too much, some take drugs, and others are risk-takers, lovers of danger. There is also the punishment of avoidance, not doing things or taking an easier path. This is, perhaps, the most common self-punishment.

Tyler Hanson (Taylor John Smith) is in love with Alison Hewitt (Halston Sage) a girl he has met after she moves to Los Angeles from San Francisco. Their relationship is going really well until they both go to an end of summer party. At the party, one of Alison’s exes from San Francisco, Chase (Rhys Wakefield), is also at the party. Chase tells Tyler what a party animal Alison was in San Francisco. Tyler drinks too much and meets Holly Viola (Bella Thorne) whilst going to the bathroom.

Film Flipback: 'Roma'
Let’s talk about the film that should have won Best Picture at the 91st annual Oscars. Let’s talk about the most visually stunning, thematically striking film to premiere in 2018 (Sans Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse, but that’s a topic for another day). Let’s turn back the page and look at Roma, Alfonso Cuaron’s cinematic ode to 1960s Mexico.

'Guava Island'
Donald Glover, also known as the "blerd" boy rapper Childish Gambino, dropped a short film for Coachella 2019 by the name of Guava Island, which Amazon Prime Video then released on April 13th, 2019, two days after the Coachella reveal. Written by his younger brother, Stephen Glover and co-starring Rihanna, Guava Island tells a unique 55 minute story of characters Deni and Kofi on a little island in the Caribbean oppressed by a brutish yet stylish villain, Red.

Movie Review: 'Timecode'
I began writing about movies in the year 2000. For reasons that I cannot begin to fathom, the first movie I ever wrote about—for a long since discarded and forgotten blog—was Mike Figgis's bizarre, experimental failure, Timecode. Released in August of 2000, Timecode stars an ensemble cast that included Danny Huston, Salma Hayek, Holly Hunter, and Saffron Burrows in disparate stories told via what looks like several different security cameras.
