Earth to Echo Review
God, what wasted potential. There's something about the ideas of Earth to Echo that feel interesting, and the concepts behind this film could have worked so much better. Unfortunately, the film as a whole is fronted by a pretty clunky script and various inconsistencies with both the character writing and the shot structure as a whole. On top of that, this is one of the most cliched films I've seen in a long time, if not ever. I could predict pretty much everything about this film as soon as it came onto the screen, and the way that the plot points were executed didn't feel earned or original in their own way, they just felt tired.

Pig Review
I've been sitting on this score for a while. I didn't 100% know if I wanted to give this film my perfect grade because I didn't know if it actually was perfect to me. The pacing sometimes hiccups and there were times I kind of lost track of what was happening... at least, in the moment. By the time Pig ended, though, I realized just how much this film affected me and how deeply engaging and thought-provoking it was when taken as a whole. All of the little pieces in this film started to fit together for me, all of the exchanges of dialogue and character moments started to feel completely necessary, and there isn't one thing I would have changed about this film. Pig is the best film I've seen in theaters in a long time, no questions asked.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "Belle De Jour" (1967)
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.

"The Trip" REVIEW
Lars and Lisa take the "'til death do us part" of their vows very seriously, it seems. Their marriage isn't working out so great anymore, but will this couple seek out a divorce? Maybe some counselling? No, they have a different outcome in mind. One with more fatal consequences.

Documentary Review: 'Introducing Selma Blair'
Introducing Selma Blair is a work of raw, passionate honesty. It’s a revealing look at a disease that anyone who doesn’t suffer from it, wants to look away from. No looking away here however, as the famed star of Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde pulls back the curtain and brings you inside the turbulent trial of a person with Multiple Sclerosis and all that that diagnosis entails, broad swaths of physical and emotional pain and a desperate search for hope amid the turmoil.

Black Widow Review
Alright so as soon as this movie was over I decided that it needed to be two separate reviews because although it is a Marvel movie it had too many independent film qualities to ignore. So this is the review of Black Widow as if it were simply a stand alone film.

Serkis is Symbiote
Leave it to the man who basically created cinematic internal monologues to direct a Venom movie with such smooth skill. Andy Serkis, the quiet movie giant of the past 20 years, starting with the role of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings (a big step in the now popular artform of motion capture) takes the reins from previous director, Ruben Fleischer.

Shang-Chi Review
The release of Shang-Chi brings many milestones for Marvel, the first Asian superhero movie of course, but what Shang-Chi opened the door for was so much more than a statistic. Shang-Chi had one of the biggest box office openings of any Superhero origin story as well as setting up even more opportunities for phase 4.

Movie Review: 'Bergman Island' Starring Vicky Krieps
Bergman Island stars Vicky Krieps and Tim Roth as a couple of married filmmakers who travel to Sweden, and to Faro Island, the spiritual and actual home of the legendary filmmaker, Ingmar Bergman. Bergman filmed his most celebrated films on Faro Island, including Scenes from A Marriage. In fact, our main characters, Chris and Tony, are ominously staying in the very home in which the famed movie that launched a thousand divorces was shot.
