However, before we really get going we decided to ease our way in with a topic about not just one story but multiple stories and how they can come together to make a film. As always we want to know some of your favorites as we skip one of the stories but wish we had more of another as we talk about anthology films

Blow Out

Sound is often the first sense registered in any given moment, with that being said, no one expects to solve murders using it. Jack, a sound worker, is out one night picking up different things for a film when he hears a car veer off the road, what follows is him and Sally trying to prove that someone did this for a reason. A standout performance by John Travolta and an idea that has never entirely been done before are two things you will expect going into this one, the rest, however, may be just another conspiracy

The term perfect is usually used sparingly, but when it comes to films there is always an opinion on at least a few that fit this. We should point out that these are our opinions with our reasons, but that doesn't mean that we don't want to hear some of yours and craft the best we can of masterpiece movies.

How far are you willing to go to gain revenge? Nicholas Cage might have an idea as he plays Red, a man with nothing to lose after a group of hippie cultists murder his wife Mandy. A film that holds nothing back with a unique style of gore, special effects, and just good old fashion chainsaws while still holding a few hidden metaphors as well as themes to pick apart. In the end, it's all about what we do for love.

How far are you willing to go to save a family member, or even test your faith? In this Netflix original, we follow Thomas as he makes his way to a cult island to rescue his sister, all while uncovering a dark secret of the land. This is not a perfect film, but it does excel at providing a cohesive story with great gore, compelling characters, and a director who knows what he is doing. This is definitely a film that slipped by most, but with Spooky season right around the corner, "pray for us" and check it out

How many films have you seen that behind the characters is empty space, and you're okay with it? The sets play just as significant a role as the story does, creating great spaces that can feel like you are in a battle or the smallest details that lead you down a rabbit hole. As always we want to know some of your favorites as we build up the walls for great set designs

If you grew up in the 90's there's a good chance that you witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime film. A one-time event for both Disney and Warner bros. as they were featured in a movie about a detective trying to prove the innocence of a cartoon rabbit in a murder case. It was a film that broke so many rules, perfectly blending animation and live action in a way that still holds up today despite the nightmare it must have been to make. A film that might be a bit more adult than you remembered but in the end, I'm a toon, toons are supposed to make you laugh

Without the financial backing, most of our favorite films wouldn't have ever been made, unless you are Sam Raimi. When you watch a movie and see a list of logos flash across the screen before the title screen, it's often an afterthought but when you really look at them it's surprising how much one company can be involved in. Today we talk about those unsung heroes in film and as always we want to know your picks as we invest in movie production companies.

The Seventh Seal

Friday Sep 02, 2022
The thing we as humans seem to ponder the most is the idea of what is there beyond this world, whether there is more, and what happens after death. A classic film follows Block as he travels back home after the crusades, looking for life's mysteries, and challenging death to a game of chess for his soul. While this is a loose description, this is what most people know about this film, and to be honest, it is much more than this. While being a slow burn you get to seek the same questions. This can be terrifying for some in its own right but "we must make an idol of our fear, and call it God"
