A Filmmaker's Review: "I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House" (Netflix, 2016)
This film, released to Netflix in 2016, is a grand mixture between gothic romance and strange, almost Hitchcockian, vibes. I would not call it a perfect horror movie, but it is definitely enjoyable to watch because the gothic and the supernatural connections really resonate through the screen as the narration beats on. The pros and cons to this movie are many, but the performances are definitely an advantage, giving this film a highly expressive edge in which both women, Lily and Polly, seem to be connected by the fact that they could physically not see what was coming. With Lily admitting that she has not been able to see Polly until recently and Polly being physically blindfolded before being bludgeoned to death. The strange noises around the Blum residence and the psychological torture of the protagonist in being constantly mistaken for a then unknown women named Polly seem to come out in whispers throughout the film.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: "Citizen Kane" (1941)
In this chapter of āthe filmmakerās guideā we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

Book Review: "American Fire" by Monica Hesse
A well-structured and well-written novel regarding the fires to rage across small-town Virginia, USA - Monica Hesse proves her ability to make every point of the case, fires and background a point of interest and something you require in order to put together these chain of unfortunate events. From the extreme power plays, to the exhausted volunteer fire crew and even to the history of this 'vanishing land', Monica Hesse leaves out no detail in making us understand that this book is about more than just starting fires and that this crime was about far more than just arson.
