Classic Movie Review: 'Diary of a Mad Housewife'
I love finding hidden gem movies. You know, those old movies that you missed over the years that people don’t talk much about anymore and are secretly brilliant. That’s what I have found in the new Kino Lorber Blu Ray release of the 1970 Frank Perry directed black comedy, Diary of a Mad Housewife. This is a secretly biting satire about an unsatisfied wife in an unsatisfying marriage to a wholly unsatisfying man.

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).

Movie Review: 'The Midnight Sky'
The Midnight Sky is an intense experience. Directed by and starring George Clooney, this post-apocalyptic drama has some corny elements but it more than makes up for that with a stomach churning amount of suspense and thrills. Clooney still has a few kinks to work out in his directorial style but other than his Oscar nominated, Good Night and Good Luck, The Midnight Sky is his best piece of direction yet.

Revisiting: Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction - ‘Pulp’ referring to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century - is a touchstone of post-modern film. The movie is non-linear and composed of three main interconnected short stories, with a prologue, an epilogue, and some brief linking material between stories. These stories are formatted in an unconventional structure that accommodates for self-reflectivity; through devotion to monologues and casual conversation.

The Unreliability Of Human Memory
Haven’t we all at one time, had occasion to witness an incident and attempt to recount the details as faithfully as possible. Too often though when an accounting of events is given by multiple witnesses, their stories don’t always agree. Is this because our memories are fallible, or is it perhaps because our thoughts are driven by a more personal agenda?

Movie Critique: B.A.P.S
Livin' large and Takin' charge! This '97 African American comedic film has been the ultimate cult classic. The movie opens at Johnson Soul Food Restaurant in daylight. Inside the restaurant, the food on the grill looks hot and greasy. Nisi (played by Halle Berry) dressed in her waitress uniform, blonde hair or blonde wig, long nails, and gold tooth give Nate, a customer, (played by Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite) but the toast is burnt. She takes his food back into the kitchen and scarps the burnt off toast. Nisi's best friend Mickey (played by Natalie Desselle) approaches and says, "Girl, don't pay him no mind he thinks he's Dolemite" referring to his film character name. After Nisi serves Nate his food, she hears an announcer on the radio that MTV and rapper Heavy D (played by himself) are looking for and giving away $10,000 cash prizes until Mr. Johnson (played by Bernie Mac) sees Nisi daydreaming and docks Nisi's pay. We meet Nisi and Mickey's boyfriends Ali and James (played by Pierre Edwards and A.J. Johnson) one dressed in the 1970s get-up pimp attire with 70s perm hairdo and the other dressed in a thrifty dollar store pimp. On their way to the auditions, Nisi and Mickey were dressed in over the top outrageous outfits and outrageous wigs, their wigs were blocking the screen on the plane, they met another rapper LL Cool J (played by himself) their first celebrity encounter. At the audition, there was a long line of aspiring female dancers auditioning to be in the music video. Just when they were about to head next to the audition room Nisi shows off her dazzling hilarious audition dance moves.

Groovin'
It's not often I watch comedies unless they're a hundred and five years old. That said, ONE comedy, 1974's The Groove Tube, directed by the late Ken Shapiro and starring a very young Chevy Chase, as well as a young Richard Belzer, is a notable exception. I first saw the kinky, psychedelic thing on Cinemax in the 1980s, when I was a wee tot (staying up late to watch things I shouldn't have been watching, of course), and it gave me sort of a sick feeling in my gut; a lot of it was gross-out, potty humor. It came straight from that OTHER world that had existed just prior to my birth: a world of the late Sixties, early Seventies, a place of funk music, Black Power, psychedelic hippie activism, pot, pot, sexual liberation...and, well, pot. The Groove Tube seeks to lampoon these variant societal tendrils, all the while satirizing the homogenized, domesticated intellectual fluff and brain-programming being offered up at the time on a regular, average, thirteen-channel tube television.

Let them All Talk is an HBO Max original movie starring Meryl Streep as an award winning author gifted a trip to London aboard the Queen Mary 2 who invites her oldest friends to join her.
