A Filmmaker's Guide to Biopics
Biopics, we can all agree, are often modern masterpieces of cinema. They are, more than often, grand films that make appearances over and over again at the Oscars and star some of the greatest actors of a generation. There are also, bad biopics - ones that don't really measure up to the person they are trying to portray (looks at Bohemian Rhapsody in absolute disgust). There's something incredibly aching about these biopics, something that makes you say, "you had all that money and you made a film that my 12-year-old-cousin could've made on his own. Okay." There are however, three steps that you can follow in order to plan your biopic perfectly. There are also three steps you require to establish before you do anything at all and they are the simplest three steps ever. They go like this:

A Filmmaker's Guide to Shakespeare's Influence
We all know how accessible Shakespeare is on screen, from films such as Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing, Elizabeth Taylor in The Taming of the Shrew and even Mel Gibson in Hamlet. But what happens when we want to show that something is Shakespearean indirectly? Maybe this helps with how we're depicting our movie and how the audience recognise the story. Maybe this helps with the fact that the two stories are so closely linked it would be silly not to use the Shakespearean atmosphere and concepts to accentuate the plot line. Or, maybe you have these characters that are, in fact, incredibly Shakespearean in either the best, or worst, ways.

A Filmmaker's Review: 'Malcolm X' (1992)
Let me just say this. When I finally did watch this film all the way through, I had been wanting to for many years after only seeing the first half an hour or so a few times. Visually, the film is absolutely stunning, the acting is brilliant and the way it has been filmed coincides with the time in which it took place. On that point, the thing I really like about the film is that in some aspects, certain sections are filmed like news reports from the 50s and 60s with the cameras running after the people they're filming etc. and the various tracking shots on large scale marches.

What I Think of Animated Live-Action Films
By now, you may of heard of the new Sonic the Hedgehog live action film, and didn't know what to think. This is the first live action film for the iconic character. Also, people were pretty upset at the design for Sonic, however the studio listened and gave him a facelift. But today, my concern is turning something as weird and quirky like Sonic into a real-life character.

The Overwhelming Success of 'Joker' Will Not Dampen Marvel's Fame
The whole world splits into two sides whenever a comic book movie hits the theaters and we really can't blame people for it. The rivalry between Marvel and DC dates back to the 1960s when Stan Lee released the Fantastic Four comics. Today, the rivalry is still intact with both these companies releasing epic blockbusters and busting down the box office time and again. However, some movies really just has it all and irrespective of the company behind them, they are appreciated by fans all over the world. Joker is one such masterpiece.

A Filmmaker’s Review: 'I Am Not Your Negro' (2017)
When I was in university, I had just heard that the author James Baldwin was going to be featured in his own film-length documentary. I was very excited to say the least; it was 2016 and by this time I had almost completed the James Baldwin bibliography and just about to read Just Above My Head which went on to become one of my favourite Baldwin novels ever. I had read his plays and essays such as The Fire Next Time, his great novels like Go Tell it on the Mountain and his lesser known novels like Giovanni’s Room. Baldwin to me was a figurehead of hope, reconciliation and quite possibly one of my own personal heroes. I was too excited for this documentary film, I counted down the days for over a year until its release.

Movie Review: 'In Bright Axiom' Absolute Discretion in Documentary?
In Bright Axiom is one of the more odd documentaries I’ve ever encountered. Not necessarily in presentation as it is relatively conventional in documentary presentation. No, it’s odd because at times you can’t really tell what is real and what is part of the fantasy world of the subject of the documentary, the bizarre living game cum cult experience, The House of Latitude. What is The House of Latitude? Let’s explore…
