Superior - A Movie Review
I don’t know if switching places for the day is a good idea. Superior was released to the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Meeting up for the first time in six years, twin sisters, Vivian and Marion, catch up. One day, they decide to switch places. During this time, the women learn pivotal secrets about one another.

Movie Review: 'Young Hearts'
Most of us have nostalgia for a first love. You likely remember that first person who stirred up your hormones and with whom you enacted what you assumed a relationship was like. Adolescent fumbling's of first kisses and sexual experimentation are among the most universal of human memories. That said, most of us did not have the most cinematic experience. Sure, the lens of time has rendered the memories in a fashion that has kept the highlights, but it wasn’t exactly the thing a great narrative is built upon.

WEDDING CRASHERS - 16 Years Later
Looking back, can you think of any movie that continues to resonate years after initial release? In light of recent rumors regarding a potential sequel, I went back and rewatched Wedding Crashers. Simply put, all the comedy gags hold up just as well as they did back in 2005, and then some…

The critique of artistic production amidst the zombie apocalypse
I think there is no better scene in cinema which explicates the predicament of an artist, or indeed a scientist when faced by the philistinic denial and ignorance of a mob than the dramatic end of Robert Neville’s life in I am Legend, the 2007 post-apocalyptic zombie horror movie. The zombies having identified the house where Neville and his friends are holed up in , assault it en-masse. Isolating the group of survivors in the basement where the experiment to make a vaccine is underway. Neville, played by Will Smith, in a last desperate attempt to show the assaulting mob that he has a cure, displays one of their own, whom the vaccine has been administered to and who is indeed, beginning to appear human again i.e., her vital signs are stabilizing, her breathing is becoming normal etc. But of course, the mob still don’t get it. Resigning himself to the situation, the lead protagonist asks Anna and Ethan, the two survivors who were with him, to escape from the back - through the underground tunnel and drive till they find the place of safe haven advertised on the radio.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Waxworks" (1924)
I have seen this film a few times in a few different forms. I have seen badly reproduced versions and I have seen the brilliantly reproduced versions but this one I own published by the 'Masters of Cinema' series is the best one I have seen. The lost German intertitles are filled with English ones and it definitely looks like the visuals have been played with so that the colours of night and day come through and the visuals themselves are also a little brighter and sharper. I just want to share with you how much I think that this film should be watched by many other people.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Greta Garbo
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 story of yester-time
So this is a manuscript for an episode of my podcast: found here. Hey, Jonathan here. , published hack and fraud, half the host and full the editor here without my dearly beloved co-host. Why? Was there a falling out? Were there bitter words exchanged? Could this be the end of Freak the Geek?

A Dune I can get behind
At the time of me writing this. Star Wars has survived the first movie that ever left me numb. While the Rise of Skywalker disappointed me (mostly due to the departure of what I loved from The Last Jedi) The Mandalorian has satisfied and elated me twice over with two strong seasons and promising projects on the horizon. However, as much as Star Wars takes a front seat to my loves in fiction. There is something crucial that is as important. Star Wars: I never really have to worry about. They have and always did have all the monies and passionate artists to promote and encourage it. However, aside from that, I look to other stories that hit in that special way that only Star Wars can. I think about DUNE.

Movie Review: 'To All the Boys: Always and Forever'
I must admit my complete ignorance of Netflix’s To All the Boys film series. Until the pandemic began, I didn’t do much Netflix and chill, I was busy at the movie theater. I would take time to check out Netflix when they did something big and splashy like The Irishman, but, for the most part, I ignored the rest of the streaming channel’s output, especially their many, MANY, young adult products which are so numerous as to have completely run together into a blob of high schools and hormones.
