    For the seventh time we have a minions movie, but for the first time I brought a kid.I was really glad I did, for one particular reason that might resonate with fellow movie lovers. Minions and Monsters is a really cute, funny love letter to old Hollywood.

    Toy Story 5: Why This Movie Hit Different Watching It With My Daughter | Filmmaker Perspective

    For the first time as a parent, I got to bring my daughter to see Toy Story just like my dad did for me. With Toy Story 5 in theaters, I look back at what has made this franchise a hit and what I thought of it as a parent of a toy playing aged child. In particular how this movie is more girl coded than previous installments, and how that played with Jessie more center stage. Don't worry if you don't have any kids, you still have a friend in me.Intro - 0:00 Toy Story is the Wire 0:51A Generation of Toys 3:37Animation over Time 7:21Leaderboard - 10:23I'm Cory and I'm a Writer, Director, and On Set Sound Mixer in Los Angeles, CA with more than a decade of experience helping bring movies and television to life.

    Do you believe... in Disclosure Day | Filmmaker Perspective

    The legendary Steven Spielberg is back on the big screen with another movie about Aliens in his latest film Disclosure Day.In this Filmmaker Perspective, I talk about why Spielberg is the ultimate high ceiling, high floor director. We also get into why movies don't work even when you have the best crew, access to actors like Emily Blunt, and the budget to do the movie the way you want.

    Backrooms is A24's biggest opening ever | Filmmaker Perspective

    For the second week in a row, a young horror director has made breaking box office records, and this time it is 20 year old Kane Parsons. His film Backrooms just became A24's biggest premiere ever, and the youngest person to have a number one film in the box office. I talk about what makes this film so fascinating, why we will see younger and younger directors, and if this is a sea change in Hollywood.

    The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a Runway worthy sequel |Filmmaker's Perspective

    20 years ago The Devil Wears Prada came out and it was a cultural moment.Now we finally have the sequel in The Devil Wears Prada 2 as Andy (Anne Hathaway) comes back to Runway magazine to help turn things around with Miranda and Nigel (Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci) potentially losing control from former assistant Emily (Emily Blunt). Does the sequel have the same heat as the original, or is it bound for the discount rack?Intro - 0:00The writing 0:37The cast 4:28Stuff bound for the Rack 9:34Leaderboard 13:44I'm Cory and I'm a Writer, Director, and On Set Sound Mixer in Los Angeles, CA with more than a decade of experience helping bring movies and television to life.

    Michael: Hits Without Heart? | Filmmaker Perspective

    The King of Pop Michael Jackson finally gets the music biopic treatment, and it has everyone feeling something.While critics and fans might be divided, I share a filmmaker's perspective on why the movie is what it is. There are good things with Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, Juliano Valdi, and an incredible soundtrack of Michael's biggest hits, but just as many negative things that drag this movie down and make the prospect for a sequel a tough sell. From the Jackson 5 to Thriller, this movie plays the hits, but is that enough to make the movie deserving of MJ.Intro - 0:00What is the point of a Biopic 0:27Michael fact v. fiction 3:32The good within 7:42Why not just watch MJ on YT 10:30Leaderboard 13:44I'm Cory and I'm a Writer, Director, and On Set Sound Mixer in Los Angeles, CA with more than a decade of experience helping bring movies and television to life.
