If you like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, check out The Big Sick
By now, I hope every fan of sweet romantic comedies has had the pleasure of watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the 2002 sleeper hit that held the record for the highest-grossest independent film until 2016. The film, starring Nia Vardalos and John Corbett, instantly became something of a cultural phenomenon that spawned both a TV show and sequel.

The Avengers' Other Movies
Given the staggering box-office returns of 'The Avengers' franchise, it's easy to forget that the performers at the very heart of it aren't just simply Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff, and the rest of the gang.

Student Life in the Cinema
A Cinematic Guide No. 2: Hatching a genius FOREWORD: Years spent on film festivals had opened my horizons and taught me the most important lesson: if you want to gain knowledge of the real cinema, you have to follow the directors. So since then, I’m walking step by step on the path prepared by: Jim Jarmusch, Wim Wenders, Derek Jarman, Lars von Trier, Pedro Almodóvar, Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut, François Ozon, Xavier Dolan, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Roman Polański, and tons of more… But there’s also of course enticing mainstream and eternal classics. In “The Cinematic Guide” I’ll try to share with you my fascination with the cinema the way I see it, showing most relevant, important, and acclaimed from artistic point of view “productions”. Be prepared for the most valued knowledge straight from the screening room, film creators, and film festivals.

"A World Where Anything is Possible" - Neo, The Matrix. [If This, Then That Challenge].
If you're reading this, then you believe in the possibility that The Matrix isn't the only cyberpunk/fantasy/sci-fi film out there worth watching. You've been on that journey of discovery since 1999... searching for something, anything that relates to a dystopian world controlled by an oppressor, whether that be machine or man.

Indulge Your Senses
If you are like me, I love when a movie is visually stimulating. Filled with metaphoric symbolisms and a solid story that titillates your brain cells is what I crave and seek. One of those movies for me was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring Jim Carrey (unusually) in a serious role and Kate Winslet as his manic pixie girlfriend. This is an unconventional love story depicted with a unique twist. Assuming you’ve obviously seen it and obviously assuming you loved it, then you should definitely check out Synecdoche New York.

Black Beauty (Disney+) Review
Three years before I was born, in 1994, an adaptation of Anna Sewell’s novel Black Beauty was released; starring Sean Bean, David Thewlis, and featuring a narration by Alan Cumming. The story appears simple at face value: a horse is born on a small farm, gets sold to a wealthy family once he’s been trained, and develops a close bond with a stable hand named Joe. Black Beauty’s life takes him from one owner to another, some kind and some cruel, and all the while he dreams of reuniting with Joe some day. Through hardships, abuses, and one particularly devastating death (this was not a film to sanitize harsh realities), lessons are learned and Beauty fights to maintain his optimism; even when it seems he’ll never see Joe again.

Dolittle (2020) Review
Dolittle is a perfectly serviceable film, if you’re the type of person who asks for little more from a film than to just be entertaining. It isn’t deep, it isn’t particularly complex, it’s not part of a larger story, it’s just…Dolittle. It doesn’t try to be anything more, and I respect that.

The Gentle Magic of Ghibli
I've grown to adore the quieter aspects of life. Ordinary moments that we take for granted can often be what ground us when things begin to unravel.

The Magical World of Classic Hollywood Cinema
I love cinema. I am convinced it is some ethereal being or something crafted by the gods. On many of my worst days, I have only been saved by a piece of art like poetry, novels, or film. But in particular, film has assisted me in dark moments. It has climbed the walls of my heart and opened me to new thoughts, emotions, and worlds. Ultimately, film has moved me deeply. For this list, I will be celebrating films according to the mood you want to be in. Since I have been deeply moved by cinema, I want you to be deeply moved as well.

10 Movie Recommendations For When The World is Crumbling
The pandemic left most of us with a pretty wide range of emotions. Fear, boredom, mourning, depression, joy, and anxiety are a few that come to mind. Those of us that were left jobless, working from home, or sick were left standing with a bunch of time slipping through our fingers. The pandemic has been a time we won’t get back and an excess of time many of us have never been granted before. Most of us live pretty hectic lives. Kids, jobs, marriages, social lives, just a handful of the many facets of our lives that keep our feet moving and our hands busy. I want to recognize that not all of us were left with ample amounts of time to kill in this pandemic. The essential workers that made the world go round continued to have their time and hearts full. This piece goes out to them, whatever small token it may be.
