A Filmmaker's Review: "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
For years, it has been considered as the epitome of Sci-Fi/Epic Drama and has won multiple accolades in the legacy of its release. At 52 years since it was first seen by a mass audience, there are many things in this era still that we can learn from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). I have watched this film twice over the past ten to fifteen years and I want to show you why.

My Top 10 Most Dramatic Novels of All Time
Dramatic novels are always the best, I think. I love the mix of emotion alongside these wrenching stories of survival, love and death. It's a brilliantly gushing way to use your reading time. There are many, many dramatic books out there, but I really wanted to go through my top ten most amazing of all of them...

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.13)
I think I've identified the kind of literature I'm reading more and that's Golden Age British Crime Fiction. However, I'm still concentrating on keeping myself attached to reality by reading nonfiction. Unfortunately enough, I haven't really had the taste for fantasy or YA recently as I normally would - which is bothering me. I don't want to think I have grown out of it because they are some of my favourites. However, I won't read something I'm not in the mood to read. I only ever read this much for entertainment.

A Filmmaker's Guide to 30 Things You Should Know About "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999)
"10 Things I Hate About You" (1999) was not only the ultimate teen film whilst many of us were growing up, but was also the break-out role for the incredible and versatile actor, the late Heath Ledger. Not his first role, it is his biggest to that date. There is something really endearing about this film and although I despise teen rom-coms, I absolutely adore this film. It is so different to most others because there is a serious depth to it and it is based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew".

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.12)
Reading books is one of the biggest highlights of my entire existence. Without it I think I would go completely blank and void of any thought or feeling whatsoever. I feel like I've been given a great opportunity when it comes to reading because I enjoy it so much. I never believe people who say they don't like reading - they just haven't found the right book for them yet. Thankfully, I was very, very young when I discovered my love of reading. I would now like to take the time to talk to you about my mother, who nurtured this...

A Filmmaker's Guide to the Best Films by Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino is one of the world's foremost storytellers and has created some of the most incredible satirical works in cinema history. He has managed to transcend genres and give his work the authentic seal of his own style which means you only have to watch the trailer to know the work is that of Tarantino. His explorations into creating great auteur cinema has become one of his best attributes and his ability to create satires that feature key moments such as murder to jazz music, insane amounts of profanity and multiple sub-plots that converge upon each other in the final act of the film have become signature to him so that others who use this style are accused of copying him.

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.11)
I cannot believe we are on Part 11 already. Check out my page if you'd like to see what else I've been reading in Parts 1-10. I enjoy reading as more of an extreme sport, as some like to put it, than anything else and with this COVID-19 stuff still knocking everyone about, I have been inside more often than normal (which is difficult to achieve because I'm naturally always inside, I hate the outdoors). When it comes to reading, I have been told by others that they are jealous of my speed. My response to this is naturally that I don't count speed as a factor when it comes to reading. As long as you are reading for enjoyment, it doesn't matter whether a book takes you two hours or two years - as long as you enjoyed it, that's what counts. It doesn't matter what you read, how much you read or how many books you can fit in. The point is, whatever and however you're reading - you should be enjoying yourself. If you're not enjoying yourself then there's really no point.

A Filmmaker's Guide to 80 Things You Should Know About "The Matrix" (1999)
"The Matrix" (1999) is known for its revolutionary film techniques, its visionary composition, its amazing visuals and its intense score which only made the tense scenes a lot more tense. The vision was first established by the wonderful Wachowski Sisters. I personally really enjoyed the first film, but I didn't enjoy the other two that much. The first one was very enjoyable and felt like a real experience, whereas I think maybe the novelty wears off after this. I think that the cultural impact of "The Matrix" (1999) reaches to far more than just fancy visuals and media experiences of different kinds because if that were the case then why do people still watch the film today with all the newer and more novelty film mediums being released?

The 10 Most Emotional Books I've Ever Read
As we've reached Part 10 of my 20 Books of 2020 series (that means we're at the 200th book!) I have devised a little milestone article for the occasion. These books are very close to my heart and I remember the first reading experiences like the back of my hand - I hope you have either read some (or all) of them or are planning to. Hopefully, they will give you a similar feeling to what they gave me...
