How I Analyze movies

Pretenses As a film junkie, I felt I should expand on my perception of film and, as a result, I looked up ways to analyze films deeper after my brief TV education. As such, there are four general categories that I look at within each film due to these four categories having relevance in pretty much every film:  Cinematography Editing Mise-en-Scène (MES) Narrative/Plot “But what about the…

Andrei Rublëv Movie Report (1966)

When we talk about the greatest films of all time, it is certainly possible to think of this one. This biopic on the famous artist Andrei Rublev challenges one’s cinematic beliefs with the immersive shot techniques, story structure, and film length.

Inside Llewyn Davis Movie Report

We get immersed in the 60s Folk Scene just from the opening scenes alone and are taken on a journey through the lens of a hard-up musician in such scene. This is one of the more interesting conceptual stories shown through cinema, told with an excellent cast and amplified through an excellent performance from Oscar Isaac, who plays the titular character.

Top 50 Greatest Alternative (Rock) Bands of All-Time (Preliminary Edition)

Since I'm an Alternative fan, I'm releasing a version of a list I've always wanted to make!

The term “Alternative” is highly debated amongst music discussions and forums, but those who listen/have listened to the genre on a regular basis will know it when they hear it.  As for yours truly, it’s the genre that truly started my music fandom at the early age of 3 (shoutout to The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, & Modest Mouse) and with my parents instilling their listening habits in me, I…

A Lost Artist Escapes to the Pacific Northwest

Originally posted on Medium, I've combined both parts

This past winter, I took a trip to Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland to close out the worst chapter of my life’s novel so far. This is a two-part piece with part one being a day-by-day log of my experience in each city and part two being an introspective look into my experience in each city. Part one is told through the lens of my performance representation; part two is told through my legal…
