‘Citizen Kane’, ‘Paddington 2’ and the Oversimplification of Film Criticism
This weekend, a 2017 review of the film Paddington 2 was added to Rotten Tomatoes, dropping its perfect score from 100% Fresh to a weak 99%. This follows the recent addition of a review from 1941 to Citizen Kane‘s score, dropping it from the 100% club. Because they both claimed a 100% score with over 100 reviews under their belt, there was a multitude of internet discourse over the title of “Greatest Movie of All Time”. I’m here, not to discuss the 245 Certified Fresh Reviews for Paddington 2 or its potential status as the GOAT. I’m here to discuss the one negative review and the ill-trend in film criticism that it represents.

They're Not A Villain
They're not a villain, they're not misunderstood, but they're just walking the line between good and evil. First of all, I'm sorry for making this a series but I'm about to go see Cruella and I know I'm gonna have things to say after that. But lately there's been so many movies in Hollywood about villains specifically, and some of them are okay but some of them are just.....I can't behind them. So, you don't have to read these in order but I'm gonna publish them tagged with this series.

Exploring the Art of Transcendence w/ Films
Have you ever watched something that felt so real, a scene that somehow seemed to engulf you wholly, transporting you from wherever you were sat watching it, and brought you right there, to that exact moment? Have you felt as though you could feel all the emotion, chills, pain, or even fatigue, yourself? I definitely have, and these three films are what struck me like lightening striking a tree: Atomic Blonde¸ Blade Runner 2049, and The Shallows. The Oxford Dictionary describes the word “transcend” as to “be or go beyond the range or limits of (something abstract, typically a conceptual field or division)”, and specific scenes in these three films do exactly that. So, my blog and I are here to highlight these key moments of transcendence, and hope you feel all the chills and all the pain – and I mean this in the nicest and most amazing way possible, of course!

While the character first appeared in Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred And One Dalmatians, it was her appearance in Disney's 1961 animated film adaptation that made Cruella De Vil an iconic villain.

How Spielberg shows intimacy instead of telling us about it
Watching the scene (above) from Wonder Woman 1984, I am filled with a sense of dread. This is a classic example of telling verses showing.

Movie Review: 'Endangered Species' Good Intentions Can't Mask Bad Melodrama
The makers of the new movie Endangered Species starring Rebecca Romijn appear to have their heart in the right place. Director M.J Bassett is a nature documentarian by trade and is passionate about the protection of African wildlife, specifically the waning Rhino population. Unfortunately, crafting a melodramatic narrative about the need to protect the Rhino is deeply misguided in execution. When a rich family gets caught in the middle of the African wilderness while just trying to see a Rhino, it’s hard not to root for the rhino to teach them a lesson.

Movie Review: 'Cruella' is a Feast for the Eyes . Top Story - May 2021.
Cruella is a punk rock visual fantasia shot through the prism of the Disney empire. Directed by Craig Gillespie, and starring Emma Stone, the film carries a distinctive aesthetic but one wonders what beats beneath the metaphorical chest of this spectacle. Sure, we do have the emotion of yet another dead Disney parent, one killed before our very eyes near the start of the film, but we’ve grown so used to this Disney trope that the impact is relatively minor.

6 Considerations in the lost art of curating a DVD collection.
DVDs are of course still around, you can easily find them at big box stores or online. They don’t have the same cultural cache they once did though. I still occasionally pick up a DVD, but there’s a good chance it’ll just sit in my TV cabinet, unopened. That’s how convenient streaming services have become--I can’t be bothered to watch a DVD I bought. On the off chance the internet is destroyed by mischievous raccoons or buying physical copies of movies comes back into style à la vinyl records, here’s a guide to creating a quality DVD collection.
