Film Review - Mid90s


FILM REVIEW - Mid90s by Zion Garcia

 HEY MATES!

 I originally watched this back when it premiered, but now after a second viewing, its flaws became more apparent.
Regardless, my personal bias towards this film will always speak to me on a deeper level, as my younger years were very similar to this. I was taken in by a bunch of local skaters who treated me with a certain level of respect, despite my age. 

I'm also a sucker for anything 16mm, so....

The narrative has some rather notable shortcomings, most notably the ending which I'm still rather indifferent towards, as well as the sub-plot with the brother, which I feel was kinda weak with a second viewing... My first viewing was kinda odd cause I was like.. head over heels for this film, and despite my gripes, I honestly still am.

This is more so a 3.5/5, but cause this stuff is all about personal opinions, imma give it a nudge up..
WATCH THIS!!!! WONDER WHAT JONAH WILL DO NEXT?!?!?!?!?

also... that 'watermelon man' scene was so dope, one of my favourite tracks of all time.

TV Show Review - Black Mirror

TV Show Review ‘Sup mates, today’s blog will be on the Netflix TV series Black Mirror . Although I am a terribly impatient person that is not capable of following a series, Black Mirror is the one series that I have not missed a single episode.  Premiered in 2011, Black Mirror is a British dystopian science fiction anthology series whose setting is often in the future or the alternative present. The episodes are independent to one another and the general themes are dark and satire. The series showcases the future with unanticipated consequences of new technologies. According to the series creator Charlie Brooker, the name Black Mirror refers to the screens of technological devices, and there is a dark and scary vibe attached to the name, which suits the content and the theme of the show. The show has run for five seasons, together with a Christmas special and an interactive film, and is still being renewed. What I like about Black Mirror is firstly the

Film Review - Inherent Vice

Image
One of my favourite films of all time. EXTREMELY DISORIENTATING, CRAMMED WITH ICONIC MOMENTS, LACKS ANY FORM OF CLOSURE, YET… INCREDIBLY AMAZING IMO. I'd completely understand if you defined this film as one of the worst you've ever seen, but god damn, I can't help but be biased to everything this film encompasses… Cinematography? Quite immersive (I've seen period pieces but this one genuinely took me to a time when 'Abbey Road' wasn't an old album). Writing? Oddly genius, despite me having ZERO ability to follow any form of a narrative. Characters? Not even like.. fleshed out in the slightest, yet it didn't bother me for any reason. Everything about this film shouldn't work AT ALL, yet, it somehow continues to bring me in at least once every 3 or so months. Please watch it and speak to me about it, SUPER UNDERRATED FILM THAT I'M DYING TO DISCUSS WITH SOMEONE!!!!!! 4/4 - Zion
