    A Little Testament

    A little birthday gift, I'm finally premiering my graduation film for the world to see!

    It may not be the happiest thing to show on a birthday but it is nonetheless an important personal story that I finally decided to share with a larger audience. It's been on the festival circuit for a little while but I figured it was time to let more people see it and not keep it for the lucky few who could catch it at…

    1917

    β˜…β˜…Β½

    It’s not what a film is about, it’s about how it’s about it. The most complex and original stories could get completely chopped up because of how awfully a film is directed, edited, etc. and a story that has been told countless times before can be given a fresh beating heart by a daring new auteur. 1917, as unfortunate as it may be, doesn’t really tell us anything we didn’t know before. It’s a technical achievement of immense scale which…

    Low stakes, a bit silly, and hardly horror but fun enough for an 80-minute, early 200s thriller featuring a wheezy Cillian Murphy.

    Gareth Edwards Ranked

    It's extremely rare to see a film's VFX be so finely attuned to the story's purpose. The effects of The Creator aren't there just to show off technical wizardry but to enhance the experience of the story you're watching. And considering the story is a lame wish-wash of tales we've seen done better in handfuls of other films (A.I., Blade Runner, and Children of Men to name a few), it's a good thing to see this uninspired…

    Yeah TimothΓ©e, you're not the only one having "visions" of Zendaya, but most people just dare to call them what they actually are: wet dreams.

    All jokes aside, I have quite a lot of thoughts on Dune (as with most of Villeneuve's films). Longer review/ramblings coming very soon.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dune may, in the end, prove to be unfilmable after all. Frank Herbert’s vision was one of such an epic scope that it just doesn’t seem to find a right fit…

    Added to: Jim Jarmusch Ranked & Leo's Top 200+ favorites

    I absolutely adore how Jarmusch turns around the idea of Checkov's gun cinematically by letting it go off in the first and second act before finally showing it in the third but simultaneously following the exact idea of Checkov's gun. That's probably one of the smartest jokes I've seen in any film in a long, long while.

    As for the rest of the film, it is Jarmusch through and through. It…
