Schulz Saves America (2020)
Definitely Need To Watch His Other Work Before This
Over the last few weeks I've being made aware of Schulz and he quickly became my favourite comedian with his Facebook and YouTube videos. This special is a form similar to one he does on Facebook and it's really good. Definitely a good watch.
I understand how people can see issues with his break neck speed of delivery and the format which from not knowing of him preciously seems daunting, but each to their own I guess. It definitely helps to see his videos of his stand up and definitely his Facebook videos of the same style to know what you're getting into.
Slender Man (2018)
A Film Six Years Too Late
This film just didn't really get the ball rolling, the Slender Man character had lost a fair amount of media hype for several years at this point, so making a film at this point seemed a bit odd, maybe if it has been in developmental hell than I can understand that.
However the lighting choices were very bad, like I know horror movies are meant to be dark, but not too the point of not seeing anything without turning the brightness up, it could've helped if it was a little bit brighter.
The main gripe I have with the film is the summoning of the Slender Man, it's just a haunted video that lures, which is a bit of a pretty overused trope in the genre. They had source material of the actual creepy pasta online, they could've played it up to the slender man that people who were online back then know.
A real missed opportunity.
American Psycho (2000)
After Your First Watch, You'll Want To Watch It 100 More
This film was very hyped up for me by friends who had seen it before me and out of context I only knew two scenes, the business card scene and the Paul Allen death scene, So I watched it for the first time and it confused me.
I haven't read the book so the character of Patrick Bateman switching from speaking normally to absurdly violent threw me off, kind of like it's played up as a somewhat dark comedy and the last fourth minutes confused me.
But then I watched it a second time, this time looking intently, and then I truly understand how good the film is. The psychology, the script and of course, Christian Bale's star making performance. It made the movie what it is now.
Metropolis (1927)
Changed my view of cinematography
This film really is a game changer when it comes to cinematography, I had to watch this for my Year 12 English Class and I was intrigued throughout the whole thing.
