Storyboarding for Horror – 7 Things to Remember
—
in HorrorStoryboarding is never an easy task, regardless of what film genre you’re working with. However, horror films require some very specific style choices (if you’re going down the more conventional horror route), which need to be reflected in your storyboard. If you’re looking for somewhere to start with your storyboard, you can find different storyboard…

Contagion – a PSA and movie review
What makes the movie Contagion so dramatic is that it’s not overly dramatic. This isn’t a virus that wipes out half the world population. There’s no bleeding from the eyes, no walking dead. However, director Steven Soderbergh manages to turn an everyday scene in a coffee shop into the horror movie equivalent of the young coed pulling…

Star Wars – A Galaxy of Daddy Issues
Daddy issues. What would Star Wars be without them? And how many Star Wars movies center around this one big Oedipal question? I have to wonder about George Lucas’ extreme father fixation. Darth Vader even means ‘dark father’, which is a seriously big clue right off the bat. Daddy Issues are a huge thing in…

What to rewatch before Star Trek Picard
I haven’t seen the new Picard show yet, but I’m extremely excited, and according to the trailers, it picks up where the long-running (non-JJ Abrams) Star Trek TV and movie series left off… Just 20 years later.

Movie Review – The Personal History of David Copperfield
To be honest, it is about fifty years since I read David Copperfield while at school (Yes, I know. I look so young!) and I do tend to mix up the details with all the other Dickens I had to read, so I wasn’t too sure what the story was — other than a loose…

Movie Review – The Turning
—
I really wanted to like The Turning. There were so many great aspects I should have loved it, but no. It was okay at best. The stand-out feature of this movie was Finn Wolfhard. He was simply amazing. This kid can act. He shined in the movie It, and sparkled with a menacing force in…
