Deep Water Review.... but it's only my reaction.

Do you ever see an horror movie and think, "oh my go" I hacebto show this to my friend. But then you worry that they might not have the same reaction to this as you did.  Well that's is how I feel at least. I think there are ao many thoughts that go through my mind everytime I watch a movie. Especially with horror movie, where I try to solve the problem before it is revealed. Well, I thibk Deep Water (2022) was  one such movie, that made me want to share my reaction with all my friends. So here it is... Deep Water review, but it is just my reaction to each scene.  Spoiler Alert: it's a reaction video so it has spoilers The sound in the prime credits had me taking notes, cuz I knew it was going tobe a fun ride. I know the movie is a thriller, and the lady is playing the part very well, of course.  So she is a narcessitsing swinger, and he is a psychopathic killer? So they are both having fun out of this ordeal.  Oh wow, she is ruthless.  I LOVE T...

People only look at the wrong thing | Essay on "Turning Red 2022"

  You are only a teenager once in your life, and it is not the best part of your life. Always hormonal, face full of pimples. Weird things are happening to your body and you are not sure what's up and don't even get me started on the number of crushes you get at that age.  I loved being a teen but it was not as fun as movies make it to be. That's the subplot of the movie turning red by Domee Shi. 13-year old Mei Lee is born into a family bleed by spirits. She and all the women in her family before her bore a special power, and turned into giant red pandas upon exhibiting over the top emotion. The trailer of the movie did not hold me very excited, I presumed it to be another coming of age movie, but I forgot that it is Disney Pixar, and it's not just normal ever. My peak of interest arose after seeing at least 5 posts a day about how the movie is being in controversy for being showing pads and talking about menstruation.   Menstruation is not something spe...

All the mistakes Writers made in Fresh (2022)

Hannibal Lecter and Joe Goldberg are two of my favourite characters. And when both of them to life came together as Steve Kemp in Mimi Cave directed movie Fresh , I had my calendar marked for the release date.  Cannibalism is the ideal base of any horror movie for any horror movie. A crime that heinous can be the most triggering content, even for thriller and horror fans, but also the most tricky to work with. Not enough can leave you unsaturated and too much can make the whole sequence too tacky for cinema.  I was really exhilarated by the trailer of Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar Jones starter Fresh (2022), however, as a film student, amateur film critic and writer, this film was only half satisfying.  Trigger warning: Cannibalism, murder, black marketing, kidnapping, stalking, manipulation, violent images. Also, Spoilers.  Plot Noa , a young woman yearning for one true love is left disappointed after a string of unsuccessful, ride, and ...

CODA (2021) | Short Review

CODA stands for Children Of Deaf Adults, the precise topic of the film.  This is not a typical “I am 17-year-old making sacrifices for my family, and that makes me the best” kind of movie. Though the 17-year old was ready to make the biggest sacrifice of her career, and life to the day.  Ruby, our protagonist, is stuck in a small town because she is the only hearing and talking member of her family, making her the translator for the small family business. When she is left to choose between her talent and her family, the decision is on her shoulder.  What is so great about this? The troups are quite simple I would say, with the most common troup of a coming of age movie. Sian Heder however uses those cliche ingredients to present the most fabulous dish on the menu. The movie has the most “Disney-esk'' plot line but it is not cheesy.  It's not only about how Ruby is ready to stay in the small town and give up on her dream career in music, but it also gives the story of...

The French Dispatch: Review

  When I was in my fourth semester of graduation, the teacher gave us the assignment to write the script for one scene from our favourite movie. I chose a movie that I have never seen before but had downloaded on my laptop for about 7 months. That movie was ‘ The Grand Budapest Hotel' by Wes Anderson. And ever since I have been a great fan of the artistic style of Mr Anderson. The static frames of each scene gave me so much joy that I started making notes of all the scenes.  Since the start of my active involvement in reviewing movies (and books), I have been excited about one such movie. The French Dispatch.  Now if you have the slightest and mildest of interest in watching movies, that is source material for the study of cinematography, direction, art style with a hint of social commentary then you must have come across at least a few Wes Anderson recommendations that have popped up in your feed. And today, I present to you the greatest and the l...

Why Sir Alfred Hitchcock’s class Vertigo would fail with this generation.

When it comes to cinema and movies there are three types of movie watchers, as the term goes. The first category belongs to people who watch it for leisure, entertainment, on weekends and with friends and family. The second kind is the ones who watch it as background noise while scrolling through Instagram. And the third kind is the ones who study them, like me (and most of my friends). The third kind in my opinion is the worst because they extract all the fun and joy out of the simple form of entertainment, and that is what I am here for today.  If you are even mildly interested in writing and creating movies, there is no chance that you have not heard the name Sir Alfred Hitchcock . Popularly known as the Master of Mystery, Hitchcock has given Hollywood some of its greatest classics in the genre of mystery. The famous shower scene from Psycho is printed on all the books of cinematography for analysis.  Here's a task for you, name 5 Hitchcock classics. Did you na...

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) Review

Even if you are mildly interested in true crime and crime dramas, the names of Ted Bundy and Jeffery  Dahmer are  not unknown to you. The mainstream media and the internet have a strange yet understandable fascination with the minds of these twisted creatures. If you search for “Ted” on google, Ted Bundy would be the second recommendation on the site, which speaks volumes for the popularity of the psychotic serial killer. Even after 30 years of execution of Ted Bundy, he remains one of the most notorious serial killers on the planet.  In 2019, American filmmaker Joe Berlinger directed 'Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile' which became the hot topic of American cinema. The film tells the tale of the crime and trial of Theodore Bundy. Starring Zac Efron as Ted, the movie has been very successful. As per my habits, I am late to the parade of trends.  Of all the recommendations I read before watching the movie, the majority of the reviews had the same ...
