Let's start something way bigger than I can chew. In this series, we'll go through the entire history of China, and take a look at movies set in each dynasty, talk about their visual aesthetic and story themes!
Early Chinese dynasties aren't the most popular settings for movies. There aren't that many popular stories, nor does it have many pre-existing movie sets, so it is always a big in...

I took a break this weekend and played through Outer Wilds. To stay true to the fandom's custom, I won't spoil anything. But if you are a science nerd and an artist like me, you'll likely find this game an unforgettable experience.

Are you watching the Academy Award tonight?
I remember my aunt waking up early in the morning to watch it live. She was quite into movies at the time. I was introduced to Back to the Future by indirectly watching from the side. Maybe that was when my destiny was set.

As my brain is slowly rotting away, the meme video is also close to being finished. The editing process is surprisingly challenging. It's so different from anything I've done before, I'm not sure how to make it look aesthetically pleasing. images that are highly compressed and extremely pixelated is part of the charm of m...

And you think The Last Airbender is the worst.
Opening with bad Gun-Fu, sprinkle in copious amount of bad acting, and down it all with some bad CGI, this movie has it all. However, believe it or not, it's actually pretty difficult to showcase how bad the film actually is.
A part of the problem is the film isn't strikingly high budget. It is, but it looks way cheaper than it should. ...

Infra-Man, Future Cops, The Last Shark, A Fistful of Dollars. We don't often think about this, but plenty of movies we love were secretly or not so secretly works of copyright infringement. In this video, we are going to explore that world, see some of the films, and talk about why people have such distain for our copyright system.

Happy Holidays! I watched about 12 movies from Seagal and was very fed up with his body of work. So if I sound extra salty this Christmas... Yeah. I know a lot of people watch his movies out of a morbid sense of curiosity. But there can't possibly be enough interest for him to keep pumping out the same exact movie multiple times a year, right?
Whatever.... In this video, we refrain from m...

Welcome to the new emo Patreon, with a new logo, and gothic dark mode that completely clash with my new channel aesthetic, and white on black text that's too contrast-y it might hurt your eyes.

Yes, I finally have time to watch some films. I usually prefers to review movies after some time have passed, so my feelings can settle and my thoughts can coalesce. But we are the the last month of 2023, so I guess you are getting my fresh opinion instead.

At various stages of production of this video, I came so close to giving up on this film and topic. The movie is like leather, I just couldn't chew through it and analyze it to a meaningful degree. Not being as familiar with the industry that produces the film also means I can't offer the same level of insight. The production dragged on, and I was so tempted to just restart the project and pick...

How was your Halloween? Did you get to watch some horror movies?
Here's an anecdote about Halloween: In the past few years, there have been a pretty fierce discussion on whether or not Chinese people should celebrate Halloween and Christmas in China. Of course, no one really actually celebrates it, and the actual discussion is whether or not to support shops and brands that use foreign ho...
