The final conversation in this 5-Episode-Arc, I sit down with the delightful Sheryl J. Anderson, Showrunner for NETFLIX'S SWEET MAGNOLIAS, and delve deep into the world of storytelling and revisit the beautiful town of Serenity.

From talking about adaptation to favorite on-screen moments, to celebrating the passionate community behind SWEET MAGNOLIAS: the writers, the production designers, crew, directors, and actors, this conversation is one for the books. 

I am so honored and grateful to have had this opportunity not just to talk with Sheryl but to learn from her as well.

In a world of what seems to be never ending toxicity, a light shines through an original Netflix series entitled SWEET MAGNOLIAS. 

One of the characters, a positive, kind-hearted soul named Trotter, brightens every scene he is in. 

I was privileged enough to get the chance to talk to Hunter Burke, the actor behind the character, a man who could give Trotter's kind soul a run for its money. 

I spoke with Hunter about his journey to becoming an actor and landing the role of Trotter, to the joy it is for him to bring this character to life, the hopes of where Trotter's journey could lead in future seasons, and the important of authentic storytelling.

He teases the vision forward for OpenGate and where he sees the company going in the near future. There is an end goal and content acquisition and development is just the beginning.

CONTENT IS KING - this statement holds such weight especially in today’s world where, now more than ever, being a content creator can be your actual profession.

Well, content is also quite valuable for OpenGate Entertainment, a company that was established to disrupt the traditional way projects get developed and sold in Hollywood.

And let’s face it, Hollywood is in much need of disruption. The OpenGate Team gets your project in the hands of real buyers leveraging a real team of industry executives, using a real process which is based on data driven decisions that creates Real Results.

In Part One of Three, I sat down to talk to Luke Oberholtzer, the Director of Content Acquisition and Development at OpenGate, about what he and his team do to help those trying to break into the industry, and why writers and creatives should be more targeted and not put all their eggs in one basket.

In this week's review Alan takes on the latest from Pixar animation, and reviews Toy Story 4!

Here is a snippet:

" TOY STORY 4, sees Woody now being in a new room, with new toys and a new kid, and follows Woody as his purpose is tested and so is his loyalty not just to his kid, but to his friends, and most importantly to himself. Sure, on the surface this seems like a great story, but that is not the main issue. The argument here is not whether or not the film was a good film, because the answer to that would be a direct yes, it was great; the argument here is what did this installment add to the franchise that we hadn’t already seen, was a story that needed to be told?

In this week's review, Alan shares his views on JOHN WICK 3: PARABELLUM, and what he thinks about the franchise as a whole.

Here is a sneak peak:

" The John Wick franchise has been gaining traction and not only expanding its world but its fan base as well. Keanu Reeves' career has also seen a massive resurgence, so much so he's now in talks to star in a new project for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yet, with all the hype and excitement surround the world of Wick, or Wick-verse, the magic that the narrative and the franchise had within the first two films, seems to be slowly losing its focus and even more importantly losing its sense of purpose."

Alan and Had got to see GODZILLA II: KING OF THE MONSTERS this week and as usual Alan's back with a review and initial reactions to the film. 

When the first teaser trailer for the long-awaited sequel to 2014’s GODZILLA dropped, fans were met with one of the most artistic trailers ever made for a film that screams commercial blockbuster. GODZILLA II: KING OF THE MONSTERS, being the third film in the Monarch Universe or Monster Universe or Zilla-verse series, rose from the waters and roared loudly, yet the film effect may have fallen flat.

With only two episodes left before the series that has captured audiences across the globe ends and leaves us seeking the next best series, many have started to question whether the seven-season build up to the final six episodes has been worth it.  But how will it end? Well, with all these pieces moving in different directions there are many ways that the series could end, and with the net being dark and full of theories, the possibilities are endless. Utilizing clues given to us from the show alone, I break-down what I think is the finale that Weiss and Benioff could be leading us to.  Music: Winter is Here - Ramin Djawadi, Game of Thrones Season 7 Winterfell - Ramin Djawadi, Game of Thrones Season 2 Needle - Ramin Djawadi, Game of Thrones Season 6 Light of the Seven - Ramin Djawadi, Game of Thrones Season 6 Truth - Ramin Djawadi, Game of Thrones Season 7 Maester - Ramin Djawadi, Game of Thrones Season 6 Photo by Anthony DELANOIX on Unsplash

Though many have already criticized and downright hated on the episode with some claiming it was too dark, while others nitpicking on the narrative arcs, and how unsatisfying the conclusion was, this episode not only answers many questions, but pays off threads long set up within earlier seasons of the series.

This battle is one of many battles in a war that has been going on for seven seasons, this is its conclusion, and it was the most cathartic emotional experience from a television series, one even stronger than a particular endgame.

Disney’s live-action formula may be bringing in the cash, but unlike the original animated masterpieces, it won’t be leaving behind a magical legacy that will remain with future generations.

The massive flaw within the studio’s rehash of the archive, is that the reimagining of these iconographical films, is not always living up to the charm and power of the original tale.

With all the hype that’s surrounding Marvel’s first female super hero, it’s truly a shame that any form of proper criticism would be interpreted as sexist, or narrow-minded, especially since this is surely not constructive in any form nor would it lead to fruitful conversations regarding the industry.

With that in mind, CAPTAIN MARVEL doesn’t soar high enough to leave a memorable mark within audiences, though the narrative it presents will surely mark a change in the MCU.

James Cameron’s genius world building has taken audiences from deepest depths of the heart of the ocean, to a bleak dark future where machines have taken over, all the way to a planet far away filled with wonder and awe.

So, it wasn’t at all surprising, when word began to spread about his latest collaboration with Robert Rodriguez regarding the adaptation of a much-beloved manga by the name of ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL.

When MAN OF STEEL first premiered, it’s safe to say it wasn’t met with a lot of positive feedback from fans .

With the recent DC announcements of rebranding, and taking the franchise in a possible new direction, I decided to give these films a second chance.

After finishing the MAN OF STEEL re-watch, here is my verdict: Zack Snyder’s film is the most accurate depiction of the hero that audiences have ever seen — a Superman that is struggling with his identity.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are widely regarded as the greatest comedy partnership in movie history: making over 107 films, and defining the notion of the double act with infectious chemistry and hilarious routines that seemed effortless but were honed down to the finest detail.

It’s really quite puzzling why it took Hollywood so long to honor the legendary duo, but STAN & OLLIE was definitely worth the wait.

At its surface this film might seem like the run of the mill, 8-Mile wannabe merged with a little bit of Step-Up, but contrary to this point of view, VS. shines on its own, dishing out a solid narrative with an engaging protagonist, and packs quite the punch with its overarching theme.

There is no doubt that following up THE LEGO MOVIE was going to be tough, but the sequel does what every good sequel should do, it tests its characters and forces them to grow into more mature, grittier, harder, and tougher versions of themselves.

The interesting question that THE LEGO MOVIE 2 asks is: Is this darker version the proper version to become?

The film is beyond basic and offers nothing new visually but rather captures things as they are sans flare or life, and though that might have been the intent of the filmmaker, coupling a narratively monochromatic film with a flat visual component is a downright sin.

For my first Character Study, I have chosen the character of Kylo Ren, from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. With the clock to the final film already counting down – I wanted to lay out a theory and an analysis about Darth Vader’s grandson, one that states that he, and not Rey, could be essentially the sequel trilogy’s true protagonist – and if you watch the sequel trilogy with that perspective – it can actually give you a much better viewing experience.
