Opinion: “Apostle” (2018)

Here's another animated review, this time it's for Netflix's Apostle. It's decent. The review is a bit longer than my previous one, but then again, this one has around double the number of frames. Here's the review: And that's it. And since I didn't get any feedback last time let me try again 🙂 What did …

Opinion: “The Thing” (1982)

So here's something new. After I saw The Thing and started writing my shorties for it, I suddenly thought to myself: "Wouldn't it be fun to animate this review?". So I did, and here's the result. It took quite some time to make since there's some storyboarding involved and quite a lot of frames (about 230). Every frame …

Opinion: “Anastasia” (1997)

I’m a big fan of animation, whether it’s stop-motion, 3D or 2D animation, I’m all for it… except for when they’re musicals. Usually, I’m not the biggest fan of the songs, I find that the build-up to these songs isn’t particularly great and it always feels kind of odd why they’d sing in the first …

Shorties #16: “The Incredibles 2”, “Newness”, “Sweet Virginia”, “Half Nelson”, and “Like Father”

This article will have reviews of the following films in this order: The Incredibles 2,  Newness, Sweet Virginia, Half Nelson, and Like Father.  Unlike Deadpool 2¸ The Incredibles 2 doesn’t surpass its predecessor. It’s much more hollow and superficial than the first one, but it being worse was inevitable since the original Incredibles film was a straight A+. …

Opinion: “Isle of Dogs” (2018)

Wes Anderson and stop-motion can’t go wrong, right? Correct, it can’t and Isle of Dogs has proven that once again. As you might’ve known, this film appeared on my 5 Things I’m Looking Forward to in 2018 list that I published at the beginning of this year. My motivation for putting it on that list …

5 Things I’m Looking Forward to in 2018

2017 was an amazing year in film. There were a lot of well-received original films, but we also got some great sequels. 2018 too looks like a promising year, there'll be a new Scorsese film, a new Spielberg film... Will it surpass 2017 in quality? I have no idea, but there are still some things …

This article will contain short reviews of the following five movies in this order: "The Wall", "mother!", "Ingrid Goes West", "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "Mayhem". This was a surprisingly good movie; the acting was good from both John Cena and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the film was nicely shot, the directing of Doug Liman was really good. Liman …

Opinion: “The LEGO Batman Movie”

The Lego Batman Movie is the colorful film about the titular character, who’s struggling with emotional problems, while The Joker desperately wants him to hate him. Right off the bat (badum tss), I'll say that this is a visually stunning film. Each shot was incredibly well-lit and framed, with a heavy, but beautiful amount of color creating frame …
