A Filmmaker's Guide to 30 Things You Should Know About "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999)
"10 Things I Hate About You" (1999) was not only the ultimate teen film whilst many of us were growing up, but was also the break-out role for the incredible and versatile actor, the late Heath Ledger. Not his first role, it is his biggest to that date. There is something really endearing about this film and although I despise teen rom-coms, I absolutely adore this film. It is so different to most others because there is a serious depth to it and it is based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew".

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.12)
Reading books is one of the biggest highlights of my entire existence. Without it I think I would go completely blank and void of any thought or feeling whatsoever. I feel like I've been given a great opportunity when it comes to reading because I enjoy it so much. I never believe people who say they don't like reading - they just haven't found the right book for them yet. Thankfully, I was very, very young when I discovered my love of reading. I would now like to take the time to talk to you about my mother, who nurtured this...

A Filmmaker's Guide to the Best Films by Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino is one of the world's foremost storytellers and has created some of the most incredible satirical works in cinema history. He has managed to transcend genres and give his work the authentic seal of his own style which means you only have to watch the trailer to know the work is that of Tarantino. His explorations into creating great auteur cinema has become one of his best attributes and his ability to create satires that feature key moments such as murder to jazz music, insane amounts of profanity and multiple sub-plots that converge upon each other in the final act of the film have become signature to him so that others who use this style are accused of copying him.

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.11)
I cannot believe we are on Part 11 already. Check out my page if you'd like to see what else I've been reading in Parts 1-10. I enjoy reading as more of an extreme sport, as some like to put it, than anything else and with this COVID-19 stuff still knocking everyone about, I have been inside more often than normal (which is difficult to achieve because I'm naturally always inside, I hate the outdoors). When it comes to reading, I have been told by others that they are jealous of my speed. My response to this is naturally that I don't count speed as a factor when it comes to reading. As long as you are reading for enjoyment, it doesn't matter whether a book takes you two hours or two years - as long as you enjoyed it, that's what counts. It doesn't matter what you read, how much you read or how many books you can fit in. The point is, whatever and however you're reading - you should be enjoying yourself. If you're not enjoying yourself then there's really no point.

A Filmmaker's Guide to 80 Things You Should Know About "The Matrix" (1999)
"The Matrix" (1999) is known for its revolutionary film techniques, its visionary composition, its amazing visuals and its intense score which only made the tense scenes a lot more tense. The vision was first established by the wonderful Wachowski Sisters. I personally really enjoyed the first film, but I didn't enjoy the other two that much. The first one was very enjoyable and felt like a real experience, whereas I think maybe the novelty wears off after this. I think that the cultural impact of "The Matrix" (1999) reaches to far more than just fancy visuals and media experiences of different kinds because if that were the case then why do people still watch the film today with all the newer and more novelty film mediums being released?

The 10 Most Emotional Books I've Ever Read
As we've reached Part 10 of my 20 Books of 2020 series (that means we're at the 200th book!) I have devised a little milestone article for the occasion. These books are very close to my heart and I remember the first reading experiences like the back of my hand - I hope you have either read some (or all) of them or are planning to. Hopefully, they will give you a similar feeling to what they gave me...

20 Books of 2020 (Pt. 10)
Finally, we have reached part 10 of our journey through my reading of 2020. Now, if you haven't reached 200, then don't be discouraged - I don't judge people based on speed or even what they choose to read. I don't really judge people anyway. I just like it when someone reads something for enjoyment - even if that means reading one page a day or reading one book a year. Reading for enjoyment and reading the way you enjoy is more important that anything else in the world. Why? Well, because first and foremost, reading is a medium of entertainment. You must do it in a way that entertains you. If it entertains you to read three or four books a day then go ahead, if it entertains you to read one book a year then you do that too.

On Death and Dying
Throughout my life I have always found comfort in the fact that one day, I am going to die. Death does not frighten me and I do not think it ever has or will. Non-existence does not bother me and also, never has. The very thought of receiving an eternal rest puts some sort of calm into my bones and almost strikes joy into my blood. I would love nothing more than for this world and all its future generations to go spinning on without me. Some people have found that strange that I take comfort in knowing death will one day come and so, allow me to explain.

20 Books of 2020 (Pt. 9)
If you haven't read Parts 1-8 then you can head to my page to do so. I will reiterate that these articles are purely for me documenting my reading through 2020. When I did this last year in 2019, I just posted the article at the end of the year instead of splitting it up. Now, if you know how I read then that would amount to almost 500 books in one article. I found this rather counterproductive when it came to the reading public. So, for making it better for me and you, I have chosen to split it up into sections of 20 - I went with the year we're in for the number. Here's some stuff about me if you don't know me already...
