📽 Today marks the anniversary of A Clockwork Orange's re-release after 30 seconds were removed from the film to achieve a lower classification in the states. Nominated for four Academy awards, including Best Screenplay, based on the modern classic of the same title by Anthony Burgess.

🎬 In the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned. Starring, Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Michael Bates and Warren Clarke. The Film was Adapted, Produced and Directed by Stanley Kubrick.

✍🏻 Although a wonderfully adapted screenplay, many of the Iconic movie moments where made though improvisation, and Kubrick's deep understanding of theme.

With cinemas having opened up in the UK earlier this week, you may be hungry to watch something - let us suggest the Oscar nominated Sound of Metal, starring Riz Ahmed and Olivia Cooke, and directed by Darius Marder. A gripping film about a drummer (Ahmed) losing his hearing and going on a journey of self re-discovery, the film is definitely best watched on the big screen to truly appreciate the sound design magic created. If going to the cinema isn't on your to-do list just yet, the film is also available to view on Amazon Prime Video now!

Have you watched Sound of Metal? If so, what are your thoughts about it?



*Note: Film is listed with a 2019 release date, as reflected on IMDb due to the film's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival that year.

By far one of the most influential people of cinema, here is the king of suspense himself Sir Alfred Hitchcock dropping some words of respect for scriptwriters. Most people nowadays can undoubtedly name at least one Hitchcock film, as his legacy lives on to this day. He's right - without the film's script, there wouldn't even be a film! Cheers to all you writers out there

The Farewell (2019), directed and written by Lulu Wang, was inspired by real-life experience, and relates to aspects of the Asian American experience. The film grapples with the East vs West paradox that many immigrant kids face, among other things. “It’s great when people can see something as specific as the Asian American experience can also be universal and see box office success, and I hope ‘The Farewell’ is a part of that momentum,” Wang told IndieWire back in 2019.

The Farewell is now available to watch on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

It's that time of the year again - the 93rd Oscar Nominations have just been announced today! 🏆 "Nomadland" has been a clear frontrunner in the awards season this year, and now it has 6 Oscar nominations to its title including Best Picture and Best Director for Chloé Zhao. Zhao also has writing, producing, and editing credits for this film - she truly is a force to reckoned with 😱 Catch her in her massive next project later this year - Marvel's "Eternals"!

In honour of last Sunday's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, here's a little quote of inspiration from Screenplay of a Motion Picture winner Aaron Sorkin, who won for his work on the film "The Trial of the Chicago 7"🏆

You are likely to have heard of Sorkin already, given his extensive career in Hollywood amongst his many accolades, including an Oscar for his writing for the 2010 film "The Social Network". His most recent film "The Trial of the Chicago 7" details the story of 7 people charged following an uprising in Chicago, Illinois in 1968 at the Democratic National Convention. Now streaming on Netflix, this is looking to be one of the frontrunners this awards season, so keep an eye out! 👀
