REVIEW: “Downhill” (2020) — Keith & the Movies

I wasn’t too sure about an English language remake of the superb 2014 Swedish domestic drama “Force Majeure”. I was even less convinced after seeing the trailer for “Downhill”, an Americanized version starring Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I loved the original (from director/co-writer Ruben Östlund) for its subtle dark wit and dramatic gut punch. […]… Continue reading REVIEW: “Downhill” (2020) — Keith & the Movies

Parasite (2019) Movie Review: Visual Poetry and a Masterclass in Filmmaking! — What’s on Sid’s mind

Pic credit: pinterest (4 min read) Written by: Siddhartha Krishnan Usually critics would say this at the end, but I am going take the risk of saying it upfront, that “Parasite” is a movie like no other.

Eileen Wilson Thanks for the live read of ‘Ginger Snap’. It’s great to hear it read aloud. I couldn’t attend so can’t grade networking etc but communication is always top notch.

The Films I Forgot #1: Metropolis (1927) — Audrey Armstrong (writer)

Memory can be a fickle thing. I have a generally good memory, for what it’s worth. I can memorize the lyrics to songs quite easily on my second or third listen, and have been known to talk people’s ears off about niche train facts. God help you if you get me started on maps. There […]… Continue reading The Films I Forgot #1: Metropolis (1927) — Audrey Armstrong (writer)

The Films I Forgot #2: Modern Times (1936) — Audrey Armstrong (writer)

If my younger self’s opinions had been left unchecked, I’m almost certain I’d have become a young boomer. What I mean by that is when I was entering high school, fresh off nearly eight years of homeschooling, I was pretty convinced technology was evil. Which is an odd thing to say, now. But I really […]… Continue reading The Films I Forgot #2: Modern Times (1936) — Audrey Armstrong (writer)

The Films I Forgot #3: The Great Dictator (1940) — Audrey Armstrong (writer)

I’ve always thought that writing about Hitler, and by extension the Holocaust, can be pretty much a death wish. If ever there were a scenario that proved to a writer, and forced them to accept, that not everybody will like their work, it’s that one – and even if the work is popular, it will […]… Continue reading The Films I Forgot #3: The Great Dictator (1940) — Audrey Armstrong (writer)
