A Filmmaker's Guide to: “The Danish Girl” (2015)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ 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.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Unintentional Genius of Ghosts of War
A while back I was watching this movie called Ghosts of War. It didn’t get much publicity like many of the movies that came out during the last few months. I only stumbled across it because I was looking for a horror movie and this one came with a unique premise. The movie takes place in the French countryside near the end of WWII. There is a group of American soldiers that are assigned to guard a mansion to prevent the Nazis from taking it. The Nazis had killed the family that lived there so as to be expected, as they spend time in the house, creepy things start happening; typical horror movie stuff. However, while I was watching it, something felt off. The actor’s lines seemed to be delivered with slight inauthenticity that I chalked up to bad acting. The words and phrases used were that typical of the era, but somehow the lines failed to feel genuine, which was odd because, while not well known, many of the actors are recognizable and have some respectable credits to their names.

Cyn's WorkshopPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Zookeeper"
Zookeeper came out back in 2011 and it has not translated to today's political climate very well. Everything in this movie screams something that would trigger a millennial today. So why is that the same reason why I love this movie so much more? It's not a very good movie by itself it's just the fact that it was probably one of the last of these type of movies to come out. Sort of like a last ride of innocence before realizing what they were really displaying.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMovie Review: Birds Without Feathers
Rating: 3 out of 5 Wow, what a weird movie. At the end, I was left feeling a gaping hole in my heart. An emptiness. There are six central characters grappling with a sense of loneliness and identity in a bleak surreality.
