Let’s start off by saying that I was so excited for Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. That was my mistake. I should’ve known better really. Spoilers ahead! I enjoyed Wandavison a lot as an examination of grief, family, and power, and I foolishly assumed that MoM would delve further into Wanda’s journey. I …
YouTube is one of the best free resources for people wanting to learn about films and filmmaking. There’s a variety of channels to help you learn about analyzing films, learn about how to make films, and learn what equipment to use. I’ve compiled a list of my favorite YouTube channels that I personally watch to …
I cannot believe we have to talk about this again. We talked about it when Infinity War came out, and we talked about it after Deadpool 2. We’re gonna talk about it again, but we’ll go in a slightly different direction this time. Spoilers ahead for Endgame.
So, I’m sitting in the theater watching Deadpool, and it’s just started. It’s pretty good so far. You know, it’s Deadpool. Violence. Hilarity. Inappropriate jokes.

This entire movie is built around Thanos. The ending even says “Thanos will return” which is chilling and unsettling to viewers. So, let’s talk about …

So, I’ve put together some of the movie’s major weaknesses to hopefully provide some insight into how you can write better than the writer of The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson. Most of the issues within The Last Jedi stems from Johnson’s unwillingness to follow up on The Force Awakens. He let plot points drop and ignored vital questions and clues for shock value. For being parts one and two of a trilogy, the two movies feel disconnected.
Language has always been important in the newest Planet of the Apes movies. It starts with Rise of the Planet of the Apes where Caesar’s uniqueness stems from his ability to communicate and understand the world around him. Caesar learning to physically speak begins the climax of the movie, and it allows him to communicate …
