Clueless is a great comfort movie that you can reliably put on and enjoy. The movie, while seeming quite generic and "by the books" compared to the rest of the genre, subverts audience expectations and isn't as predictable as one would think. For example, I thought the main character was your run of the mill entitled teenager, similar to that of "Mean Girls"; however I was surprised with what happened in the movie regarding the character and her actions - not everything was entirely different to other movies of the genre but it tries to do something different every so often with its characters and I respect that and enjoy the film for that reason. Additionally, the shots of the city and houses looked stunning and only helped to convey the vibe even more. In short, Clueless is an enjoyable coming of age film that initially seems very generic at first, but is anything but; and is quite a good film for that reason. The narrative is quite simple and easy to follow f...

Conclave was an emotional roller-coaster throughout its runtime. The narrative of the film had roped me in and kept me on the edge of my seat; I was excited to see what would happen next and how things would turn out. Not to mention the amazing cinematography and soundtrack, which only complimented the rest of the film. The non-diegetic sound helped set the mood while the cinematography/camera work visualised the fear, danger and suspense of it all, taking the tense atmosphere and blasting it to the audience. The characters were quite likeable as well; we as the audience root for Lawrence as we find out more about his motives and as he finds out more about the underlying secrets behind the Cardinals at the conclave. At times I felt sad, other times I felt adrenaline. All in all, Conclave is a great and enjoyable film that uses multiple elements  to create an experience that was an excellent addition to the political thriller genre.

Interview Planning Questions: “How did you come up with the general idea of Sour Yuzu as a whole?” “That’s hard to say, really. I just felt inspired one day to create my own band based on all the foreign media I consume on a daily basis. And so I just wanted to create something based on my culture and identity. "Why is the lead the only one shown in the video?" "Same reason as before, really.  The reason why my other band members are anonymous is because, for one, I thought it’d be a unique experience to the audience, and two, it’s just cool.  I felt inspired by other artists such as Daft Punk and Marshmello. I wanted to take the whole ‘mask’ concept to a different level.” "Will we ever see the band members unmasked?" "No." "Will we ever see a release of the cancelled album Spectacle?" "I'm working on that, I can't reveal much right now but stay tuned." "What advice would you give to other artists?" "The key ...
