My Most Anticipated Movie of 2022. Top Story - July 2022.
As someone who became an Austen fan (or I should say obsessed, crazy fan) relatively recently, this was the first movie adaption that I followed throughout the announcement of the movie to the actual release date. When I found out that they were making a new Persuasion movie I was most excited, especially because Henry Golding was going to be in it, but when I say my heart hurts after watching just the trailer- I'm not even kidding.

'Haven't I Always Treated You Right?'
An elderly white man in an elegant black coat stands on the deck of a ship. He smiles warmly, patting the shoulder of the well-dressed slave in front of him. The African-American beams, his eyes shining with undying faith and adoration as he grasps the hand of his master. His bleached teeth are a sharp, cartoonish contrast against his dark skin. The Virginian children reading the textbook this picture is taken from cannot help but share his grin. What a happy sight! What a happy illusion. These instances of mistaking indoctrination for education have persisted far beyond Lincoln’s abolition. Recently, Scholastic came under fire for publishing a children's picture book depicting the slave Hercules and his daughter Delia cheerfully baking a cake for George Washington's birthday. America, a nation built on freedom, should condemn those who wield the lash. Instead, it praises those who restrain themselves from using it. Charles Waddell Chesnutt’s satirical short story and Jordan Peele’s horror film combat this with their own proposal: a beneficent master can never truly exist if they drop the charitable act as soon as they are a master no longer. This essay will argue that “The Passing of Grandison '' and Get Out tear down the fantasies of white supremacists, using allusion, irony, dialogue, and symbolism to expose the duplicity within their so-called justifications for the exploitation of black bodies.

Grosse Point Blank review
spoilers for Grosse Point Blank - 1997) People are always asking me what my favourite film of all time is. Well, they’re not, because clearly no-one gives a damn, but what I do is find an opportunity to tell them that my favourite film of all time is Grosse Point Blank. There probably are plenty of film that I like more, but I feel that things like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future are on the pantheon - everyone’s seen them, everyone knows they’re brilliant, in each case there’s precious little to say about them that hasn’t already been said multiple times. That being the case, choosing one of those films shows a distinct lack of imagination, so I have formed the opinion that someone’s favourite film should be something a little more personal, something slightly off the beaten track, a film they could champion and maybe win some fans for, something they can feel passionate about and want as many other people as possible to experience and love. Grosse Point Blank is perfect. It’s an excellent film that is not completely unknown, but one whose reputation has been steadily growing in the two decades since it’s release, and I have loved it since the first time (of many) that I saw it. (Incidentally, if your favourite film is one of those pantheon films mentioned above, absolutely fair enough, but I don’t need to hear/read another piece extolling the virtues of the Empire Strikes Back.)

Commando 3 Movie Review: Commando 3 Movie
Vidyut Jammwal has carved a spot for himself way to his death-defying stunts and his movies which might be common in the motion genre. He’s popularly referred to as the ‘Commando’ actor as he has been part of each of the COMMANDO movies. And now he’s again with COMMANDO three, which like its predecessor guarantees a lot of motion, leisure, and patriotism. So does COMMANDO three control to offer the audiences a paisa-time? Or does it fail to impress? Let’s analyze.

'The Gentlemen' Review
Every once in awhile, you find a movie that you have to call a film. Now Guy Ritchie has a varied history with his career as a movie director. He's made some good stuff, some bad, and some in between. From 'Snatch' to 'Aladdin', it's fair to say that you truly do not know what you're going to get when you see one of his films for the first time.

A Digital Remaster of Two Women Is Finally Available
In the age of patriarchy, Two Women was a feminist document that propelled the characters with Loren's intense performance and De Sica's near-neorealist documentary edge. But Two Women's long survival in the public domain is an unfortunate reminder of the frailty of the film medium. Despite its success, it was buried in cheap bootleg prints and pan-and-scan DVDs for over three decades. Thanks to a new digital remaster, it is finally available in its full glory.
