Lately I have been intrigued by the idea of films being shot strictly on phones. Normally, films shot on phones are shorts or music videos, mostly done for convenience and keeping within a small budget. But with the limitations comes a little bit of different thinking creatively. Then, there are filmmakers who decide from the start to shoot on phone cameras for an aesthetic.

Listening Post: ‘Rocky’s Late Night’ by Albert Hammond Jr
It’s been a long while since I last shared some music. There’s a song that I’ve been obscenely obsessed with for a few years now. Everything from the instruments, the vocals, and the lyrics just hooked me in. Hopefully, it does the same for you, too.

Making of the ‘Power Rangers’ Movie
I remember the excitement my friends and I felt when the first trailer dropped for the Power Rangers movie. We — just like all children — were huge fans of the show, and were surprised and gleefully throwing punches and kicks at imaginary putties.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Give Thanks
Admittedly, I was a little worried about the third Deadpool film. I thought I wouldn’t enjoy the story, or how it brought Hugh Jackman back to the role of Wolverine.

Trash Films
I’ll admit. I really enjoy terrible movies as much as incredible ones. There is an odd charm to them; the wooden acting, the cheap production value, and the lackluster cinematography. It’s just a joy to watch; along with the unintended hilarity. Maybe “charm” is the wrong word to use, but I digress. -
‘Rebel Moon’ Jimmy & Maggi Convo
For everyone who knows me, I obviously stan for Zack Snyder. I adore the cinematography in his films, but I do understand that his work is divisive. And that’s part of the reason why I enjoy his work so much. He doesn’t keep things safe or stay in his comfort zone. The guy likes exploring and experimenting. And it always sparks emotion and conversation. And to me, that is art. -
Jensen Ackles Joins ‘The Boys’
Supernatural is approaching its actual swan song with the series finale not far away — well, sort of. It isn’t actually filmed yet because of obvious reasons. But filming is recently underway to finish off the finale seasons. After that, God’s favorite brothers are finally reaching the end of their road.
