Why Kill Bill Vol. 1 is the perfect film.
"Art is subjective, but is it?" Two of the many things I pride myself on being passionate about is: my love for stories and my opinions. To review a film I find to be bad seemed a little too easy. I believe It’s easy to notice when things are done wrong or when they disappoint your expectations. That considered, to appreciate something and to be able to put it into words to convince you of why ‘Kill Bill vol 1.’ is a perfect film, seemed like the perfect challenge.

I'm still a little bit shocked that I decided to write this. Currently, it's 5:06 on a Saturday and my wonderful husband decided to take our daughter out so I can get a break to do the human person things that I need to do... in order to feel like a human being. I guess this is one of them? Midnight Sun came a few months ago and I debated for about two weeks with myself whether I was actually gonna read it. I read it. One day during that debate I was having a super hard day and I found myself in the Walmart book line grabbing a copy because honestly... it was a mental escape. That day I didn't rationalize or think I just did it. Plus, I was influenced by a few friends who had just rewatched the whole series.

I noticed the other day that 40 Days and 40 Nights was on Netflix Canada. Right now, familiar things are comfort food to me. Yeah, I like new but sometimes you just want to throw on something stupid and fluffy that doesn't make you think. Boy was I surprised.
Melodie MulderPublished 3 years ago in Geeks'General Hospital' rumor: Sonny gets amnesia
General Hospital spoilers from Soap Dirt have been accurate in their predictions and also have been way off base. This is why fans should take the information given with a grain of salt. Soap Dirt now indicates that a "leak' on the GH set is promising an interesting storyline for Sonny Corinthos. You can read the story by clicking on the link. Set insiders and leakers used to be on the money, but lately, have guaranteed several plots that did not manifest. I share this information so that fans will know what is being projected, but understand that it may or may not be true.

Trevor WellsPublished 3 years ago in GeeksStar Trek: Discovery finally finds its feet with a newfound sense of hope
I am, at my heart, a relatively uncritical consumer of media. I don’t really have the focus to go through a film or series with a fine-toothed comb looking for errors and inconsistencies, a lot of my opinions on media are very impressionistic, I consider the feelings that I’m left with after I watch something rather than picking it apart for specifics. If it felt well-written and enjoyable, well, that’s good enough for me.

Trevor WellsPublished 3 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide to: Cultural Studies
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.
