My Review of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope"
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope came out back in 1977. I watched this movie when I was a little kid and frankly I didn't know what was going on back then. Later on as a teenager I loved this movie as I could grasp the concepts that were happening in the movie. Then into adulthood I still liked this movie but does this movie hold up today for me?

My Review of "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio"
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio has recently come out exclusively streaming on Netflix. There's a lot of controversy about this movie but then again anything reimagined by Guillermo del Toro is going to get some sort of buzz. He has an eye for the macabre and this little film is no stranger to that fact.

My Review of "Whiplash"
Whiplash is a dramatic movie that came out back in 2014. It's an interesting time because it was at a time when society was increasingly understanding of political correctness. There are a ton of scenes in this movie that will traumatize a lot of people nowadays. At the time when this movie came out it was still quite shocking. That's not to say we weren't totally surprised either.

Sighted and Sounded Out
The list is out; the magazine will arrive here soon; the controversy grows. Every ten years, the British Film Institute puts out a special issue of their magazine called 'Sight and Sound: The 100 Greatest Films of All Time'. The list is compiled from the votes of academics, insiders, critics, and - as a novelty - even directors. There is one for critics and one specifically for directors and the twain often do not meet. But this year, it seems like they are screaming at each other over the holiday meal without letting the other side get in a single word.

Animation - not just for kids
For ages, the stubborn statement that anything that is drawn (and by extension, animated) is for children. Even after titans like The Simpsons or South Park made their way into pop culture, the idea remained: animation was a somehow lesser medium for storytelling than live action. Even in this day and age, creators like Guillermo del Toro (who has a few animated passion projects himself, such as The Tales of Arcadia or the umpteenth new Pinocchio movie this year) spoke up against the discrimination of animation as a medium. And while del Toro's animated movies and series aren't neccesarelly ones I'd categorize as "adult animation", the fact remains: animation still has a long way to go.
