  • Joker | One Bad Day | Part Two

    This two parter series on the Joker franchise is a cinema essay that was done by my friend, Rob, and was based entirely by a intriguing conversation over the phone about the research I had found out about the character Joker. But Rob took it one step further, and this is his interpretation which I wanted to support.

    The concept was first forged by myself, the research was the both of us, the final written piece was done by Rob and now it's narrated by me.

    This is Two Takes and this is his Shot. A cinema essay by Rob. And I really hope you enjoy it.

  • Chronicle - This Isn't A Superhero Story

    We've

    seen films before that explore the teenager trope and their troubles,
    the high schooler and the mistakes and misfortunes in the classroom,
    blending it with the school environment.

    But

    what if it went further than that? The problems become bigger,
    internal struggles tend to break the balance and become external in
    force. Anger and frustration become a tool, and you find yourself
    becoming both the tormented victim and the cruel tormentor. This
    isn't a superhero story, but instead a chronicle of events that film
    the conversations, the actions, the thoughts and feelings behind the
    closed doors. This is a more personal account of what happens when
    you become powerful, and the choices that leave a mark on those
    around you.

  • Hawkeye - The Man Before Ronin *REMASTERED*

    We all understand that Barton was an agent of SHIELD, introduced to us in Thor, but even then, we could tell that Barton was more than just his job. And when his family was introduced in Age of Ultron, everyone looked confused...except for Nat. Perhaps the most secretive avenger (tying with Nat), presents the idea of protection, because overall, Clint had his reasons. In his rare moments, we find him become the father figure, the caring friend, and the one that has everyone's backs.

  • Black Widow - The Woman Between The Lines *REMASTERED*

    Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow, after understanding some parts of her origin, has us perhaps empathising, if not, sympathising with her on some

    level. And this is where we can finally see her on her own, her strengths, her weaknesses, without being eclipsed by the other Avengers. However, Natasha getting to know them throughout her time on the team gave us, and them, the rare chance to meet the Natasha under the Black Widow; someone who is open minded and more importantly open hearted.

  • Oats Studios: ADAM (1-3) | Where Is Your Soul?

    Oats Studios will always have a soft spot for me, as I went down a YouTube hole and found Rakka by chance. Its design, its plot devices, its unique concepts of a dystopian world...it got me hooked. And like many, I enjoyed the fact that it didn't really have an ending. Neill Blomkamp, the director of Chappie, Elysium and District 9 has done some outstanding work. And so, because of this (and because it was suggested within the comments), I am back with this series, and so,

    we continue the Oats Studios exploration.

  • Fight Club - I Am Jack's Lack Of Understanding

    Fight Club could be personified as being the perfect metaphor for doing things that seem painful or outside of your comfort zone, or even using the pain from these experiences as some sort of release, a distraction perhaps, from one's everyday life. But whatever interpretation you got from this film, in this episode, it's an exploration of the characters and the overarching themes of death, destruction and of course, a little bit of mayhem.

    Be aware that these are theories and actual thoughts from various people I have asked. For more of what they thought, have a listen to my new but sporadic podcast, Idle Chat, available on YouTube, Spotify and Anchor.

    Anyway. Enjoy.

  • Idle Chat : That Fight Club Conversation

    My friend and I often have pretty good conversations about films on a semi-regular basis. And so, I thought I could share it with you. This one is about Fight Club BEFORE I wrote the episode of it, including our thoughts on the 1999/2000 era of films that seem to manifest the need of choice and truth, with a little dash of Gone Girl, Liberal Arts and Office Space.

    This podcast is sporadic in nature, with the audio unedited to make it more natural, so stay tuned for the next episode.
