How to Write a Professional Film Review?
This is a complex issue, and I will try to be brief. First of all, we need to know some basic movie knowledge. Film is a comprehensive art, through collective creation. In an excellent film, every department involved in the production is an important part of the narrative, or it can be said that costumes, props, makeup, photography and so on together constitute the film language. Any single level of interpretation is one-sided, narrow and non-cinematic.

Reasons why Chrisitne from Drag me to hell inspires me
Greetings, everyone. I wanted to share the deepest things about why I felt inspired by Christine from Drag Me to Hell and of course, Alison Lohman herself. As you may know for some viewers, this has the Content Warning which contains adult language, eating disorders, body shame, body dysmorphia, alcoholic, bullying, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, sexism, misogyny, social stigma, grief, tragedy, and trauma. And yes, I agree that there are so many theories that Christine, in reality, has an eating disorder - between self-starvation, fasting, binging, and purging. I’m not gonna do the entire film summary, etc. I'm gonna write some parts about when I felt related to both Christine and Alison. It may be a bit of a spoiler if anyone hasn't seen the film yet.

Why I watched Words on Bathroom Walls
I have struggled immensely with mental illness since I was a teenager. I have had many diagnoses thrown at me from bipolar disorder to eating disorders, autism and others. I have never found a movie which accurately depicted the experience of mental illness without placing massive stigma on the behaviour and that also accurately depicted the treatment process and identified the helpful treatments from the unhelpful. This movie exemplified that compassion and showing love to those suffering mental illness is so important and in fact is the cornerstone in someones recovery and management of symptoms.

Do You Matter?
Like many, I instantly fell in love with the musical “Dear Evan Hansen.” I passively listened to the music for about a month, just enjoying the melody, guitar riffs, and lyrics. I started to piece the story together, but I ignored the theme until I binged on the show “13 Reasons Why” on Netflix, which hit me hard as a father, as a male, and as an overall human being. I jumped back into the music of Evan Hansen, and the pain took root.

The Big Picture
The movie producer, James Redford, depicts what Dyslexia has meant for a few families throughout the planet. He gives a significant part of the creation to youngsters who experience the ill effects of this condition. He is crafted by two medical care experts, Sally and Shaywitz Bennet (HBO Documentary Films, 2017). Outstandingly, this film outperforms the commitments of different creations concerning this psychological problem. This article surveys as thinks about the substance of the film.

Four Films for Psychological Analysis
It is my goal within this editorial to remain neutral and "on the fence" (that is not to choose a side, team, or camp) in regards to the nature/nurture debate that psychologists have described and presented to philosophers and medical professionals. I am familar with the debate enough to provide a brief explanation of the teams. Team Nature would present the benefits of human connection, the family unit, genetic factors, and examples of Naturalism for evidence that appear without technological assistance. Team Nurture would present the benefits of human invention including technology, memory (human and computer), and the necessity of certain provisions and comforts for human development. Having quickly defined the "teams" (although there are many books and articles that give a more in-depth explanation and understanding of the debate) I would like to share with you my thoughts on four films that make me think about the debate: "I am Mother" (directed by Grant Sputore) and "mother!" (directed by Darren Aronofsky), the film "Harry Potter" (book written by J.K. Rowling) and the film "Joker" (directed by Todd Phillips). These films will provide various viewpoints for my "fence" standpoint in this discussion. Team Nature will comprise the films "Harry Potter" and "mother!" whereas Team Nurture consists of the films "I am Mother" and "Joker". All four films use scary and dark themes to prove points for their side of the debate. I remain on the "fence" and do not choose a team because I believe and agree with the validity of all the points made by both sides of the argument.

My Thoughts on 'Roadrunner', the Anthony Bourdain Documentary
If there’s any word in the English language that would sum up the life of Anthony Bourdain, a ‘Roadrunner’ would be quite fitting to remember the man by. He was also a husband, father, friend, chef, writer, television host, and a cultural ambassador who made the world his oyster after many years as a cook in hot, windowless, stressful New York City kitchens. For some people, travel is a birthright that they have from a young age but for Anthony Bourdain, it was an unexpected gift at middle age after writing the excellent ‘Kitchen Confidential’ book highlighting his years in the underbelly of those same kitchens, which became a New York Times bestseller, and helped lead him into fame, stardom, and notoriety.

The Best Representation Of Mental Illness Ever Is A Netflix Rom-Com
Every year film studios try to give a wider representation to the most marginalized communities, be it the LGBT community, the black community, or other minorities. Some people are starting to get mad because they feel that these studies are only interested in filling an inclusive agenda as a good PR strategy. Others, on the other hand, believe that it is necessary since the members of these communities did not grow up seeing great characters from the cinema that fully represent them.

Movies that are so bad, they’re so good
Have you ever watched a movie and thought, this movie is absolutely bonkers. It’s so hard to suspend your disbelief, because the whole time you’re watching, you think your silly friends somehow found their way into a documentary and are now social actors in this nonsense rather than trained actors. Movies you can’t help but cry at how silly it is and be prompted to make an IMDB profile just to leave a comment on just how much it was a waste of your life. And how you’d do anything to get those hours back. The funny thing about these kinds of movies is, they’ve done their job. Sometimes we watch movies, purely for entertainment purposes, to feel good and watch the villain suffer or die at the end. We want some sort of a resolution and satisfaction that the character we are rooting for must win a lottery or be vindicated. But when it comes to these kinds of movies, they’re so stupid yet they’re so evocative. And the entertainment factor comes from you laughing at how unbelievably annoying it is. It sticks with you longer and you can’t help but just...laugh.
