A Filmmaker's Review: "Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution" (BBC, 2005)
A documentary created by the BBC to showcase the lives of the survivors of the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was first broadcast in 2005 and is now available on Netflix and other sites to view. It is a six-part documentary series that concentrates on the formation, building, usage and realisation of the Auschwitz death camp and from the survivors telling their tales of pain and torment to an surviving SS Officer who is haunted by his own ignorance and even to love stories which evolved between prisoner and officer in the death camp - this documentary shows us the interior of Auschwitz like we have never seen before. I bet they did not teach you about any of this stuff in school. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

What the Transformers Movie Reboot Universe Need to Make it Better than the Bay-Era Movies.
The Micheal Bay movie series saw five films and met mixed reviews the further down the line the story went. But when Bumblebee hit theatres and saw high praise and great reviews, it caused for a new change in the films place within the Transformers films. Rather than being a prequel, as originally planned, it was decided to change it to the start of a rebooted movie franchise. With it now all set and a new series of films to spring from it, we will look at what the new franchise needs to be a success for fans both old and new.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: 20 Films of the 1970s
The 1970s were an interesting decade for film because we were moving more towards knowing our genres apart. In comparison to the 1960s and before, it was more difficult to tell whether your opinion was that "Rosemary's Baby" (1968) was a horror or a thriller because of its method of suggestiveness. But, by the time we get to the 1970s, I think through the way we get a very full-on approach to horror especially, nobody would even think to suggest that "The Exorcist" (1973) was a thriller film. We are very sure that is horror by the way in which we are now allowed to see exactly what's going on.

Zack Snyder Confirms That His Cut Of 'Justice League' Will Be Released In Four Parts, One Hour Each
“The Snyder Cut” has been a hot topic among DC fans for the last few years. Joss Whedon took over directorial duties for 2017’s Justice League when Zack Snyder had to step away due to a family tragedy. The response to the finished product was...not kind. Some found that the film felt inconsistent and could have been much better. In fact, it sparked a fan campaign to have Zack Snyder finish his interpretation of the film as he had envisioned it.

More Credit for 'Capone'
Streaming this month on Amazon Prime was Capone, a film that critics hacked into like one of the renowned gangster lord’s cigar cutters. And while I can certainly agree that there was a lot more the film could have shown (I remember finishing it the first time thinking, “That could have been a lot better”), the reason that what it accomplished has gone largely unappreciated is because it wasn’t what people expected from a film named after Scarface himself. It was not an action film, but a dark, psychological drama about the horrors of physical and mental degradation.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: 20 Films of the 1960s
The 1960s was the beginning of truly modernised cinema. Things were happening, stars were becoming superstars, cinema was getting bigger budgets by the minute and equipment was surely modernising with nearly all films of larger budget being made entirely in colour now. Things were looking up for film and Hollywood in an age where it was considered that the Golden Era was dead and gone with the 50s. The era of peace and love was here and the music of the psychedelic Beach Boys, the death of Buddy Holly and the crooning harmonica folk rock of Bob Dylan were about the set the world on fire. Hollywood was about to take the biggest u-turn this world had ever seen and film would never be the same again.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: 20 Films of the 1950s
The 1950s are probably my personal favourite decade because of the fact there is such brilliant music from the era. Another thing about the 50s is that it is considered the true beginning of the Modern West. The Second World War is over, Hitler is dead and gone, American Production is up ten-fold and more and there are reparations all over the world. Peace and Love would come along in the form of the 1960s as a result of the Cold War (it isn't really a war, but it is a war - just nobody's fighting and just collecting random weapons).
