The Film Industry is Breaking My Heart: My Thoughts and Feelings on an Ever-Changing Landscape.

I’ve been meaning to write this article for some time. Every time I would go to write, I would become sad, anxious, and not clear in thought. The news of Paramount buying Warner Brothers, well, that pushed me over the edge. I had to get my thoughts to paper, so to speak. That another major original Hollywood film studio will succumb to the ever growing … Continue reading The Film Industry is Breaking My Heart: My Thoughts and Feelings on an Ever-Changing Landscape.

What’s Going On In Hollywood? The Looming SAG-AFTRA Strike, the WGA, and Corporate Greed

Hi. It’s been a minute since you’ve heard from me. I moved cross-country and we’re still trying to get on our feet. But, with the looming SAG-AFTRA strike, I couldn’t let this moment in film history go by and remain quiet. I remember the writers strike in 2007 and the fallout from that. Shows that were cancelled, people displaced from work, and the creation of … Continue reading What’s Going On In Hollywood? The Looming SAG-AFTRA Strike, the WGA, and Corporate Greed

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Written and directed by James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy), The Suicide Squad is a reboot of sorts of the 2016 David Ayer Suicide Squad. You know, the one that Warner Brothers just couldn’t keep their hands out of? ANYWAY.  James Gunn clearly had a vision and he was not going to make the film unless he had 95% of the control. And, I’m happy … Continue reading The Suicide Squad (2021)

Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)

Alright. So this is a 4 hour film, so bear with me, as I have a lot to say. Had the entire film had the same heart and tone as the Epilogue, then I would have loved this film. Without a doubt. However, that’s not the case and, honestly, Zack Snyder’s Justice League has left me feeling underwhelmed.  For those that are not familiar with the … Continue reading Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)

Wonder Woman 1984 : Not the Best, But Definitely Not the Worst

If the entire film was as good and as well paced as the third act, Wonder Woman 1984 would have left me feeling elated. Unfortunately, that is very much not the case.  Wonder Woman 1984, the sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman, is directed once again by Patty Jenkins, and written by Jenkins, Dave Callaham (The Expendables, Zombieland: Double Tap) and Geoff Johns (Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics). … Continue reading Wonder Woman 1984 : Not the Best, But Definitely Not the Worst

Gremlins 2: The New Batch : Money-grab or Meta-genius?

Gremlins 2: The New Batch may be the most self-aware film and also one of the biggest “screw you”‘s to a major film studio and I love it. Now, if you’ve seen Gremlins 2, you’ll know that the semi-serious tone from the original Gremlins is completely abandoned. And, there was a reason for this: director, Joe Dante, wanted nothing to do with a sequel. Gremlins was a particularly hard … Continue reading Gremlins 2: The New Batch : Money-grab or Meta-genius?

The Importance of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a film that most of us saw when we were far too young to have seen it. But, through your child self, watching a film where there was definitely too much adult material for, you and your family (or whoever it was that you saw this film with) helped to save a studio and an entire film genre. During the … Continue reading The Importance of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
