The Godfather: Part 2 (1974)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019ās book ā1001 Movies to See Before You Dieā and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I wonāt be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself youāll have to buy it. But I will be covering the bookās suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldnāt doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. Weāre going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but weāre also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like āJokerā will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then donāt hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Letās get on with it then.

Easy Spiced Almond Cookies
Of course, you probably know me very well for invading Vocal with my film studies stuff and articles entitled āa filmmakerās guideā. I have often explained that I love to bake as well. Since I was young, I have loved the idea, the creativity and the relaxation of baking different things. I love to make macarons, layer cakes and gingerbread in particular and the activity of it really gets me away from my laptop (where Iām sure you know that I spend most of my life). So, I hope you enjoy me talking about what I bake and why I bake it complete with pictures (if not very good) of me actually baking, my baked goods in the process of being created and when theyāre finished. Iām really happy to share this with you. And if you like, you can show me your baking (yes, I spend a lot of time writing, but I also spend a lot of time reading other peopleās articles!), I would love to see it. Since I was in school, I was always interested in creating things, whether that be pieces of writing, welding things to make small statues or baking foods and making sweets (candy, if youāre American). I hope you enjoy looking at some of the stuff that has honestly kept me sane, because I seem to be going slightly mad.

3 Film Critics You Should Read
Studying film can look scary and strange. Why? Well because there are so many people seemingly gate-keeping this study at an academic level. Even as a woman on the subject during my M.A, there were certain groups of men who were gatekeeping their study but then there were other men who were very accepting of females in film studies. But, when it comes down to it, whether man or woman, nobody should be gate-keeping a study of academia and this is why I am here. I am not here to gate-keep anything and I am not here to tell you that you cannot do it. Actually, the opposite is true. I enjoy telling people about my studies, explaining it to them and getting them in on it. Why? The more people we have in film studies, the more chance we have for the subject to evolve and change. So what weāre going to have a look at today are three critics who changed the world of film via their incredible writing, their incredible eye for film and their brilliance in the world of film reviewing. So letās start this article and hopefully, you and I can learn along the way of my āfilmmakerās guideā and I hope youāre also enjoying my āone thousand and one films to see before you dieā book review which seems to be taking forever at the moment. I did not think it would take this long at all. I thank you for reading along.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Gothic Horror
In this chapter of āthe filmmakerās guideā weāre actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the āfilmmakerās guideā - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how youāre doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmakerās guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.
