Movie Review: Wind River
Wind River is one of the most emotional experiences I have had at the movies in 2017. The modern western from writer-director Taylor Sheridan is a cold and harsh drama about a cold and harsh place where these characters don’t merely live, they survive. The film also shines a devastating light on the plight of Native Americans and the criminal lack of care we give to their living conditions and well-being. That it takes a white writer-director and two white movie stars to get this story told says nearly as much as the movie itself.

How Would Humanity React to Superheroes?
We live in a world dominated by superheroes. Both Avengers movies are in the top 10 highest grossing films of all time. Everywhere you look you see an ad for another superhero product. 5 different superhero movies have already come out in 2017, with 2 more slated to premiere later on this year. This superhero overload had me thinking, what if they were real. I'm not saying, how great would it be to be a superhero, but how would humanity as a whole react to the idea of superheroes. In order to determine that, we must first break down the different types of superheroes. Humanity would react differently to different types of superheroes, so let's break them down into 4 categories.

"Mr. H. Potter, The Cupboard Under the Stairs..."
I was five years old when my mother brought home a new book that she announced we would be reading as a family. As she handed it to me, I glanced at the front cover of the book as I struggled to hold it in my tiny hands. Without even reading its title, I looked up at my mother and asked, in a small and inquisitive voice: “Does it have any pictures?”

The Best Horrors to Watch for Studying Cinema
As you may be aware, studying cinema is all about having the correct resources. Many people are often scared off by the sheer amount there is to watch and think that it isn't worth wasting time over. I have (from experience) compiled a list of films from around the world that you may want to watch if you are looking to study or make a horror film. These are relatively old films as I have found watching older films helps the creative process than newer ones do; getting stuck in the commercial cycle never helps when you're making a horror film. (These are in no particular order).

'Twin Peaks' 2017: There's Always Music in the Air
The soundtrack to the original Twin Peaks is one of its most iconic and adored elements; Angelo Badalametti's evocative score, created in direct collaboration with Lynch himself, does an incredible job of enriching the mood and underscoring the emotion of almost every scene. Complimenting this are the songs sung by Julee Cruise; in an unusual feature for the time, Cruise is character herself, a singer at the local bar called the Roadhouse. Her angelic vocals and dreamy melodies created an ethereal ambience to her performances, where the lines between dimensions would often seem to blur; this is perhaps most notable in Episode 14, where the Giant appears on stage over Cruise as she sings a heartbreaking ballad, and delivers a devastating message to Coop, while the Elderly Waiter offers his condolences.
