I really loved Us and I’m a big fan of Jordan Peele’s. I loved his comedy show and I was excited to see him start directing horror films which I also am a big fan of. I think Peele’s use of the horror genre to make a social commentary is genius so my post todayContinue reading “Us”

Shutter Island
Despite the movie change after I had already watched In The Mood for Love, I thoroughly enjoyed Scorsese’s Shutter Island. It was a rollercoaster of a film that kept me on my toes and left me with many questions. Though I may be kind of biased because of my love for Leonardo DiCaprio’s acting, IContinue reading “Shutter Island”

The perfect blend of suspense and romance, the film truly grips you to the end. Through the use of Mise-en-scene and sound, Hitchcock is able to kidnap the audience andContinue reading “The Suspense in Rear Window”
Casablanca and the Score
Casablanca was a very interesting romance that had me in a bit of a rollercoaster. However, one thing that stood out to me was the incredible use of score to drive home the heart-wrenching story. The music is essential to what makes the movie a masterpiece and plays a big part in how the movieContinue reading “Casablanca and the Score”
