In this episode, Tim talks about Christian Bale's latest film: Amsterdam. Amsterdam was directed by David O. Russell and has a star studded cast including Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Chris Rock and Anya Taylor-Joy. But is that enough to carry the film? What's the difference between not liking a film and a film just plain being bad?

In this episode, Tim talks about Brad Pitt's latest film: Bullet Train. Bullet Train is a wild ride of an action film that (surprisingly?) was filmed in a studio in LA. It's committed to it's own style and isn't afraid to be bold and unique in it's storytelling.

In this episode of Serious Cinema, we discuss the movie Morbius, starring Jared Leto.

We discuss how studio cuts and time itself can have a significant impact on a film. We share our thoughts on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and whether or not all films should be viewed with a critical eye.

In this episode of Serious Cinema's Movie of the Month, we discuss the movie The Revenant. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and filmed by Emmanuel Lubezki.

We discuss why every videographer or cinematographer can take something away from how The Revenant was filmed and the creative vision behind it. With the world of video expanding way beyond just film, we need to take knowledge from movies like this and use it in the industry we are in! Just because you don't film movies doesn't mean that you can't cast creative vision over any project you are working on!
