A Quiet Place, Part II (2021)
To be honest, I thought A Quiet Place was one of those movies that didn’t need a sequel. It was fairly perfect and did a wonderful job using visual storytelling and focused on only four characters going through separate but similar toils. And I’m not against sequels; most of my favourite films are sequels, but there are more instances where the sequel fails to capture the magic of the original. Thankfully, this film does not fall into this trap.

A Quiet Place (2018)
I remember sitting in the theater, waiting to watch this film: nachos in my lap, a drink in the cup holder, and my seat tilted back to allow myself to watch the film in comfort. I was by myself, and the theater wasn’t really all that packed. I hadn’t seen a single trailer for this film, so I had no idea what to expect. When the film came on, and all the characters were silent, using only sign language, I’ll admit that I was a little perplexed.

The Fly: Part 3
David Cronenberg is among chiefs who have exceptionally unmistakable styles, which might be sensible to apply the auteur way to deal with The Fly. While it isn't his main procedure, one of Cronenberg's techniques is body frightfulness (Benson-Allott, 2017, pp. 152-154). However, Cronenberg doesn't utilize it only for its shock esteem: rather than taking advantage of human dread, he investigates it and the purposes behind it, including sickness (Moody, 2016, p. 242; Pheasant-Kelly, 2016, p. 242). In The Fly, the body loathsomeness in it is exceptionally conspicuous, beginning with little puzzle codes intended to allude to Seth's condition (the abnormal hairs developing from his back toward the start of the change) and finishing with Brundle's last structures that scarcely look human. In any case, these enhancements don't exist for the good of their own. Instead, the consideration is centered around the sentiments that are capable by Veronica and Seth because of the change. Like this, the film incites a response to an unhealthy and sullied body, which will probably not be restricted to appall when the crowd relates to the individual who encounters the illness.

The Godfather
In films, the visual portrayal of characters and occasions regarding a particular plan is essential in passing on a specific message and inciting feelings in the crowd. The Godfather (1972), coordinated by Francis Ford Coppola, can fill in as a distinctive illustration of the significance of plan, piece, and tones in making the ideal importance and impact on watchers. This visual effect can be accomplished by deliberately utilizing the components of music and shadings, zeroing in on the connections among characters and moral or philosophical issues. It is feasible to express that the scenes in The Godfather are worked by the standards of a compositional casing upheld by a prevailing shading range chosen by Coppola. The motivation behind this paper is to investigate how the subtleties of plan and arrangement, just as tones utilized in The Godfather, add to highlighting connections among characters and underlining moral and philosophical problems.

Movie Review: 'Best Sellers' Starring Aubrey Plaza
Best Sellers is a frustratingly conventional movie about two opposites forced to work together. It’s frustrating because this highly conventional comedy premise stars the remarkably unconventional Aubrey Plaza. Aubrey is far too interesting for a conventional comedy. Her talent for spiky line delivery and brilliantly awkward comedy defies convention. See movies like Black Bear or Safety Not Guaranteed or even a movie of hers that I don’t care for like Ingrid Goes West. Regardless of the role, or the quality of the movie, Aubrey Plaza can’t be confined by plot.

Movie Review: 'Cry Macho' Starring Clint Eastwood
Cry Macho’s best asset is that it isn't as completely unwatchable as some of Clint Eastwood’s most recent movies. The Mule was obnoxiously slow and dedicated to polishing Eastwood’s ego while his take on the true life drama of the Paris train incident, 15:17 to Paris, is a shockingly awful movie where Eastwood the director looked nearly as amateur as his cast of non-actors blandly re-enacting their much ballyhooed act of heroism. 15:17 to Paris is awe-inspiringly terrible, especially coming as it does from an Academy Award winning director.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "Variete" (1925)
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.

Movie Review: 'Copshop' Starring Gerard Butler
Copshop is not a movie that I was looking forward to. I have a long standing one sided feud with actor Gerard Butler. He has no idea that I exist and I hate every movie that he makes more and more and more. So, I did not go into Copshop expecting much other than Butler’s usual brand of meathead, mindless, action nonsense. Butler’s brand is more bullets than brains and I can’t be mad at that, other actors are quite good at that brand of action. Butler’s version unfortunately tends toward the smarmy and obnoxious and that’s where I draw the line.
