A Filmmaker's Review: "The Passion of the Christ" (2004)
"The Passion of the Christ" (2004) is one of the great masterpieces of indie drama/historical cinema. Directed by Mel Gibson, the film entirely comprises of real languages spoken by and at the time of Jesus Christ such as: Aramaic, Hebrew and Latin.

My Viewing this Stevening... 'Jojo Rabbit'
Following the roaring success of Taika Waititi's entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the form of Thor: Ragnarok, his next film was to take on something completely different, yet retain Waititi's familiar comic style; Jojo Rabbit. Adapted from Christine Leunen's book, Caging Skies, the film tells the story of Johannes 'Jojo' Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis), a 10 year-old member of the Hitler Youth who discovers his mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson), is hiding a Jewish girl, Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie) in their home. The hiding of this girl forces young Jojo to question his beliefs, all the while dealing with the interventions of his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Waititi).

A Filmmaker's Guide to the Most Visually Stunning Films
To call a film 'visually stunning' we normally mean that some of the shots look amazing. Well, that's exactly the case. Some films can look incredibly grand and have some amazing cinematography work on them - it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to show you breath-taking nature shots. It does, however, mean that the shot in some way must move you emotionally. There must be some emotion in the grandeur of the shot that makes you stop and stare at it, sometimes even just rewind the film to see it again or even take a picture of it and set it as your wallpaper.

A Filmmaker's Guide to John Huston
John Huston, one of the key directors of the early and mid- 20th century, was born on the 5th of August 1906 in Missouri, USA. Not only did he direct some of the world's most well-known classic cinematic experiences (I call them experiences and not just films, because let us face the fact that John Huston never really just made a 'film'. Those things could change your life. So 'experience' is a fitting word) but he also acted, wrote screenplays and was pretty much known as one of the most intelligence men in cinema history. Many people refer to him as cinema's 'renaissance man', 'titan' and as cinema's answer to Ernest Hemingway.

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Maltese Falcon" (1941)
Who can doubt that "Maltese Falcon" (1941) is one of the great masterpieces of early 20th century cinema? It is an experience to watch Humphrey Bogart in one of his greatest roles ever. He is a phenomenal actor and has an incredible amount of talent. His role in this film is complex and at any one time, he is in many different situations. Let us not forget the great cunning work of Mary Astor and the amazing talents of the great Peter Lorre (who is one of my favourite early 20th century actors). A brilliantly clever film, it contains some of the most righteous language ever written for screen. It is a feature length experience of film noir like you've never seen before and you'll probably never see again.
