An MCU Without Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther
I wanted to allow a decent amount of time to pass before writing this, strictly out of respect for the Boseman family. It has been nearly two weeks since the entire world was caught off guard by the devastating news that Chadwick Boseman had succumbed to a four year battle with colon cancer. I myself had to take several minutes to digest the information when I first found out. I remember just standing in front of my girlfriend blankly staring at my cell phone in disbelief as if my heart had refused to accept the news headline that ran across the screen. There has been an abundance of deaths that have happened far sooner than expected over the course of the last few years. The Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant along with his daughter Gigi and the superbly talented hip-hop artist Juice Wrld to name a few. However, there was something about the loss of Chadwick that really hit home for people worldwide. The actor had just played a significant role in the finale of the greatest cinematic project of all time with both Avengers Infinity War & Avengers Endgame; with his portrayal as King of Wakanda, the Black Panther. His solo outing as the iconic comic book character raked in over a billion dollars in the box office alone. Even after the credits rolled for all four of these movies, the future for Boseman's Black Panther appeared as bright as could be.

The Handmaiden (2016)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

My 3 Unpopular Opinions About Film
When it comes to film, you probably think that from my articles that I love all the films ever. But I don't. There are many films that I have thought were over-hyped, overrated and just plain bad. I will never really say these out loud because normally I get shouted down by whoever else is in the room at the time because I'm naturally a quiet person [laughs uncomfortably]. I'm not going to lie though, when it comes to film, I normally say it here because I find that in real life, I do not really have someone to talk to about this shit without, again, being talked over, interrupted and shouted down. It just annoys me so I just shut up altogether.

Movie Review: 'Hillbilly Elegy'
Hillbilly Elegy is a deeply overwrought and desperately misguided burlesque of backwoods Americana. An over the top Amy Adams and a downright silly Glenn Close chew scenery as they try to fill the void at the center of a movie based on one of the more dull and forgettable bestselling memoirs I’ve ever read. That Hillbilly Elegy was directed by someone as clever and steeped in Americana as Ron Howard is genuinely baffling.

TOP 5 MOVIES THAT MIGHT NOT MAKE 2020 SEEM SO BAD.
If you are like most of the world right now, you are at home telling yourself you're going to wake up early and workout in the living room and clean the house. But if you're like me, you're going to get comfy on the couch and scroll through your streaming services looking for something new and interesting to watch. I've watched my favorite shows several times since March and I was eager to find something new and intriguing to watch. The other night I decided to watch Inception again and it was just as great as the first time I watched it years ago. But it got me in the mood for a new sci-fi, thriller movie. I did some scrolling around and found the first movie on my list, The Mandela Effect.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Alternate History
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.
