OK, so this is a PSA about HIIT - it's been super effective for me, and I wanted to spread the good word! Background - when I turned 40 (awhile ago!), my metabolism slowed down, and I developed a kind of a "belly" - I was always slim, and remained slim, except for this "belly" thing, it's...

This is a movie that has no reason for existing, IMHO. Breaking Bad was a great TV series, and it didn't need this tepid mediocre warmed up dog's breakfast. Should've just left Breaking Bad alone. But I guess for whatever reason Vince Gilligan and/or Netflix felt that it was time to cash in and...

American Dreamer starring Jim Gaffigan, Isabel Arraiza, Robbie Jones. Directed by Derrick Borte. It's playing right now in limited release. It has a pretty poor critic score on RT of 60%. What can I say, I think the critics are insane. This is a pretty darn good movie. And if you are an...

I recently re-watched Notorious, the 1946 Alfred Hitchcock acclaimed film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038787/ The critics and audiences seem to be in agreement - they love it! RT score for critics is 98% and audiences 91%: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1015287_notorious I confess to...

Starring Sam Rockwell and William Macy: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1540741/ Nice premise, poor execution. Badly shot, bad pacing, iffy acting. Macy was excellent, but that's about the best part of the film. Terrible pacing - seemingly every scene too long by 30%-40%... sloooooow, making...

This is an excellent Japanese film, and a breath of fresh air: Confessions 2010 It made quite a bit of noise in its time, and was very well received both critically and by audiences, making a fair amout of money. On RT the critics score is 81% and audiences 88%...

Jim Jarmusch made the amazing "Stranger than Paradise" (1984) and the quite good "Down by Law" (1986) and then ran out of steam. And that's how we arrive at "The Dead Don't Die", a film that has no reason for existing. It seems more like an excuse to collect stars and celebrities like bracelets...

This was a pretty excellent show, 7 episodes. The absolute best was the acting by Russell Crowe. It so happens that I was fairly familiar with how Roger Ailes (whom RC depicts) looked and acted physically, and I was amazed by how good a job RC did, he really got it down to exactlng detail...

"12 Suicidal Teens" (2019) is a very interesting Japanese film, the Japanese title "Jûni-nin no shinitai kodomo-tachi". The outstanding thing about it, is how well it's shot. The shot selection, the camera angles, the framing, movements and other elements are simply outstanding. It's a real...

Aru koroshiya no kagi (1967) - it's very easy to confuse this film for another film Aru koroshi ya (1967) by the same director, with the English title variously and often wrogly transposed from one to the other - one is "A Certain Killer's Key" and the other is "A Killer's Key" and one is a...

I watched these two movies back to back, and what a contrast! First there's Nightfall, release date is variously given as 1957 or 1956. In either case, it's directed by Jacques Tourneur, the celebrated film-noir French-American director, widely admired for the excellent "Out of the Past" (1947)...

Rewatched Polyester yesterday - Hollywood could not fully tame John Waters. Like so many of his movies, not only has it stood the test of time, it's gained, matured like fine wine. Wonderfully subversive and refreshing, especially for these politically correct times where everything has become...

I have never used this app, but I read the reviews on Apple’s App Store for iOS devices and the reviews are terrible. Now, maybe other versions are fantastic, but I’m looking for screenplay writing apps for my iPad, so too bad. The FD app for iOS is atrocious, and I’ve tried a few others, but...

This TV show is a critical and apparently an audience hit, based on the British show from 2008 "Criminal Justice". After having it recommended to me by several people, I finally got to see it. What can I say - I HATED it. Too bad, I really don't like not liking shows/films, after all, life is...

A very nice movie from Sebastian Leilo, and was apparently a re-make of a previous movie of his "Gloria" from 2013. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6902696/ This is the same director who did the excellent "A Fantastic Woman" which I started a thread on here on dvxuser. He also did the fairly...

Booksmart is so far my favorite and most enjoyable movie of 2019: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1489887/ The writing is very strong. The acting is superb. The directing is excellent. Use of music is very good. The editing was brilliantly done. And it excels at the core function of a comedy...

All three films written and directed by S. Craig Zahler - he's apparently a novelist, a screenwriter, a director, a composer, musician and whatnot. Boy, is this a puzzler. I am a gigantic fan of "Bone Tomahawk" - simply brilliant. What I love about it - it defies the conventions of the genre...

Dear friends - and moderators: would it be possible and/or advisable to start a subforum for DaVinci Resolve? I note that there is a Edius subforum, where the last thread was started more than a year ago... not very active. Meanwhile, I suspect that more and more folks will gravitate to DaVinci...

Pledge (2018) - has kinda mixed reviews, but I think it's a really interesting movie - not in the sense of content necessarily, but how well it's made by relative unknowns. The story is not much to write home about, probably the weakest element here. But the execution is really good. The...

I guess it's time to update this thread, seeing as it's 2019. OK, so here goes - Apple just updated the iPads. So, what do you see as the perfect iPad + storyboarding app these days, if you need it for shooting a single camera video (feature, short etc.)? What have you used and what's your...
