Marc Mifsud

WRITING (Todd Phillips/Scott Silver/Bob Kane/Bill Finger/Jerry Robinson): This brand new interpretation of the Joker is something to marvel at. He’s already broken and then the world rips him again from the very beginning. One thing that makes the writing for this film so great is that Arthur Fleck is an unreliable narrator. There are things…

WRITING (Joe Talbot/Jimmie Fails/Rob Richert): The characters depicted in this story are broken and vulnerable. Nobody is perfect and finding a strong character in this film is difficult. Having all of these vulnerable characters makes the story more endearing. There is also a lot of symbolism and foreshadowing used in this movie that was excellently…

WRITING (Christopher Ford): Although the killer heavily resembles BTK, the story of the Clovehitch Killer has a lot of depth and layers to the story. The implied storytelling works very well and makes the film more gratifying, especially on your second watch. I love everything about this story and there’s nothing bad I can say…

WRITING (Quentin Tarantino): Tarantino gives us a story that we may not have expected from a movie said to be set around the Manson murders. It’s used as a backdrop, but it plays a minor role in the overall story. One of the major storylines is that of Rick Dalton, where we follow his career…

WRITING (Ari Aster): This movie fucked me up. I am not gonna lie. The story is fucked and disturbing, leaving me uncomfortable the entire way through. However, objectively, the writing is solid. The progression of events from being normal to batshit insane was perfect. It had a much better progression than Ari Aster’s last film,…

WRITING (Tyler Burton Smith/Don Mancini): This movie really threw me back to classic horror movies with the terrible dialogue, but the well-written villain. Chucky is one of the best parts of the movie. He’s incredibly well-written and his dialogue is great, it feels natural. The rest of the dialogue, however, is mostly garbage. Every minor…

WRITING (Chris McKenna/Stan Lee/Steve Ditko/Erik Sommers): The story of Far From Home is different from the other Marvel movies in that it seems grounded while being about more cosmic force than the rest of the Spider-Man movies. The story was surprising and felt fresh and had the characters’ motivations make sense. Spider-Man’s romance also felt…

WRITING (Gary Dauberman/Stephen King): The script for It: Chapter Two was a much needed improvement over the original It adult part. The story was less laughable and more heart-warming. The dialogue actually felt natural to the world and characters they inhabit. However, this film gave us the worst plague to affect horror movies of this…

WRITING (Michael Cooney): This script may be Shymalan’s wet dream. The course this story took me through was incredible and one that was truly unexpected. The dialogue was a bit clunky and a little poorly written, but the overall course of the plot and the structure of the movie is great. At first I thought…

WRITING (Guillermo Arriaga): This story has unique plot elements. The whole chapter device is a fun way to break down the story, but it goes on for way too long. When Pete was just bringing Mike to Jimenez, there is just too much empty space that drones on and on. And then it kept going…
