Review: "The Green Knight"
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is an old tale that has seen many different adaptations but David Lowery's take will be one that may just be the best film to hit theaters this year. The original story has an unknown author but remains to be one of the most well known Arthurian stories, it even managed to be adapted by J.R.R. Tolkien at one point. It combines themes of masculinity, heroism and facing ones fears or shame. The opening scenes immediately grab you and make you feel as if you are apart of this meticulously crafted world inside of Camelot, although, the film may not be for everyone as it leaves a lot up to the viewers interpretation and can be viewed by some as too slow of a burn. The obscure dialogue, fantastical world all manage to pull you in making the audience feel submerged into this surreal fairy tale. Arthurian experts may find some issues with Lowery's take but, Lowery has such an incredible poetic eye and alongside him a powerhouse performance by his lead actor that make it nigh impossible for anyone to look away once it gets going.

Marcus has big plans and has booked them a vacation spot in Mexico that should be perfect for the occasion. Of course, this wouldn’t be much of a movie if all of this went to plan. Upon arrival in Mexico, Marcus finds that his lavish hotel suite has been flooded and that there are no other rooms available at the resort.

The Great British Spy
The James Bond franchise of films is something of a time capsule. The twenty-four, soon to be twenty-five, films have been produced regularly in an unbroken line going back to 1962. As a natural consequence, this series of formulaic by design spy-thrillers can be used to shed light on the cultures in which its installments were produced. Of course, all media can be used to examine the culture that produced it, what the James Bond franchise provides is a picture of a culture's idealized masculine hero, as well as a look at political anxieties, and British cultural fascinations of the time.

The New Batman Trailer Review
On August 22, 2o21, Warner Bros. Pictures released the first confirmed trailer for the new Batman series coming out in 2022. The film cast includes Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, and Barry Keoghan. I am personally extremely excited for this movie to come out. This will be the first time that a Batman movie follows the comic events and the theme of the comics. In the Batman comics, typically the theme is very dark and a bit creepy and what is shown in the trailer it seems that portray that very well.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "The Colour of Pomegranates" (1969)
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: 'Afterlife of the Party' Starring Victoria Justice
When he’s trying, director Stephen Herek is not a bad director. However, when he clearly doesn’t care, he makes dreadful movies such as Man of the House starring Tommy Lee Jones or The Chaperone starring professional wrestler Paul ‘Triple H’ Leveque. Afterlife of the Party falls somewhere between Herek’s best work, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and his more mercenary yet watchable work such as Rock Star or Mr Holland’s Opus.
