Watch List

Recently, I’ve noticed a few problems some friends and I have been facing: we hear about new shows we want to watch but we don’t know what streaming platform has it, or even worse, we don’t know what to watch at all. I can tell you for sure that this is a problem because there’sContinue reading “Watch List”

Imitating Life: A Review of Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse

I don’t know how, but I managed to make it all this way and I never once wrote about a Spider-man movie or even a Marvel movie.

Not to be biased, but I would definitely say Spider-man is my favorite hero.Continue reading “Imitating Life: A Review of Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse”

The Importance of Planning – A Lesson Taught in a Short Video by Aidin Robbins

Getting into filmmaking is, in my opinion, utterly exhausting. I’m not going to film school, I don’t own a nice camera, I’m using Premier Pro for free from my university right now but I have no idea how to work it, and it feels like there is more and more information every day that IContinue reading “The Importance of Planning – A Lesson Taught in a Short Video by Aidin Robbins”

Attention to Detail – A Review of Isle of Dogs by Wes Anderson

We are living in some crazy and fairly stressful times. The past two weeks have been both insanely hectic and extremely boring for me as I struggled to regain a sense of normalcy with my university switching to online courses and sending all of the freshmen living on campus back home.

This post, I’m going back to a normal medium of film but I’m spicing it up a little bit. I realized I have yet to cover animated media on this page, so today I decided why not look at anime, a style of Japanese animation. In the future, I’ll look at other forms of animationContinue reading “Step By Step – An Analysis of Animation In ‘My Hero Academia’”

Turning Inspiration Back ‘ON’ – An Analysis of the MV for ON by BTS

Sometimes, I don’t feel inspired to create anything. Today is one of those days. I had so many ideas of things to review but as I started writing this post on each of those ideas, I quickly became bored with them and lost any will to continue.

Where We Stand – An Analysis of Symbolic Features in Parasite by Bong Joon Ho

First, I must say that I absolutely loved this movie. If I could, I would talk about it forever. I think Bong Joon Ho is a genius and the characters and story he created is so intriguing.

Trust the Process – A Review of Deliver a Feeling

Although this is not technically a full film, I chose to review this short film by Peter McKinnon because I feel he excels as a storyteller and I’d like to analyze and explain some of the techniques and decisions he makes throughout his short film type videos. In this video, Peter McKinnon and his crewContinue reading “Trust the Process – A Review of Deliver a Feeling”

Life Is Like A Movie

The best movies tell a compelling story. Here’s my story so far. I grew up, like most, with a childhood filled with movies, tv shows, etc. By the time I was 5, I was obsessed with Lilo and Stitch and I could – and would – tell everyone how much I loved it. Disney wasContinue reading “Life Is Like A Movie”
