Shallow Dives: My 'Select Five' - This series will be a brief look back on the previous 50 or so reviews and I will select five films that I felt were particularly interesting for whatever reason. It is not a ranking list or the five 'best films' - just a way for me to highlight certain films again.  

Select Five of #1-50

 

 

Future Projects

Deep Dive: Directors/Actors/Writers -- Edgar Wright, Christopher Nolan, Tarantino; Sorkin, Coen Brothers, Greta Gerwig; RDJ, Daniel Day Lewis, Denzel. John knoll

Deep Dive: Movie - A detailed exploration of a particular film from conception, to finished product, to its place in history.  Star Wars, LOTR, Schindlers, Silence of the Lambs, Scream vs Halloween (a head to head) too many to even consider really. 

Other ideas: Campbell's Hero's Journey and other writing techniques (Chekhov's Gun, 7 narrative questions). The story of VFX house Rhythm and Hues (life after pi).
