FilmFish � The New Way of Finding Great Movies and TV Shows

When I recently came about FilmFish, a new movie/TV show recommendation service, I didn�t have too many expectations. After all, we live in the world where everyone recommends everything all the time. This is probably one of the reasons I kind of gave up on many traditional resources that were once very relevant to me. As the social media phenomenon took off, so did the concept of recommendation became blurred and lost in the previously mentioned social media noise.

But, as I soon realized, FilmFish was something completely different. Now, two weeks after I first started using it, I can safely say it is the best alternative cinematographic recommendation websites I ever came across. Firstly, it offers an across-the-board recommendation for TV shows, including all the major league players like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, and HBO. This way, it elegantly bypasses the problem of native service recommendations where they only suggest their in-house content.



However, it is the actual FilmFish recommendation process that makes it such a killer platform for exploring and discovering new content. It uses a combination of machine learning with personal curation coming from those who are well versed in the movie industry. The �people� side of the service includes a mix of very talented and diverse professionals from all corners of the film world. This is why individuals like the actor Topher Grace and Joyce Kulhawik, the co-host of the late and great Roger Ebert are on the FilmFish team.

With this mixture, it manages to provide stunning results even for someone like me, who has been, at least in my view, well informed about the TV and movie industries in the last 15 years. Its front page show a number of thematic lists that are very colorful and interesting, but the service really shines with its search feature. It is enough to try out its search function and see the magic takes place in front of your own eyes. Once a reference point is inserted, the service lists its results both in the TV show and movie domains. I personally began to experiment with the service in a slow manner, but then started to ramp up my searches with things like Peaky Blinders, a TV show that is unique in its topic and delivery.

Looking at it from the perspective of genre classification, it is a crime series featuring a crime family. But, in its case, the FilmFish search first recommends Boardwalk Empire, Taboo, and Deadwood, all of which are not only great shows. But, they are also very relevant to Peaky Blinders being that they reside firstly not on the crime stories themselves, but a strong sense of depicting real history. Additionally, all of them are completely brutal in their representation of those particular times and on many additional levels, they all singly fit inside of a FilmFish category that combines all relevant traits.

At the same time, the functionality of the site is expectedly high and allows for easy future exploration once a person finds their pick, including watching its trailer or adding it to their watch list. Fortunately, the creators of FilmFish did not fall into the trap of trying to make it too cluttered with additional possibilities and options. From a user experience point of view, its layout and usefulness are flawless.

Thanks to all of this, I must sincerely recommend FilmFish to anyone who is sick and tired of the same old ways of trying to find new movies and TV shows. I have no doubt that the service will only become better as time goes by, so head on to FilmFish.com and start using it right now!

Crowdfunding Push: Betta Fish

The playing field of indie filmmaking is very wide, but as I stated several times before, for me personally, the genre of thriller is the domain where the best works of this type have been made. Now, a new ambitions film is looking for funds to create what its crew is hoping to be an innovative modern neo-noir thriller. The project is called Betta Fish and here�s how its Indiegogo page describes the plot:

The story revolves around Danny Bishop, a mischievous, manipulative gambler with a history as a prodigy con artist. Fresh out of prison and in trouble due to a large debt to Alex, the beautiful, elegant, malicious mob boss queen of the city, Danny has a worthy opponent. 

Motivated by the pain of her enemies and the destruction of Danny, Alex swears to kill him and his family if he does not pay his debt, putting Danny on a collision course with old friends and rivals in his quest to succeed.  This socially progressive story involves a mixture of race and diverse communities, centering on family and the right to equality.

The film was written by Joshua Ungaretti and it is well in its development, which shows determination to see Betta Fish finished. This is always a good sign for an indie film. Also, having in mind that brilliant films like Blue Ruin have been created using this financial method, there�s no reason why the same can�t happen here. Personally, I�m liking the cinematography and the writing style, both of which seem to come with a cool combo of tight focus and looseness - while it might not be the most intuitive thing in the world, it is a good starting point for a movie that tries to innovate.

Right now, Betta Fish is undergoing a crowdfunding process that could provide the crew with funds to finish it. Check out how you can help right here and use your money or online voice to help Betta Fish end up a feature-length movie.

Two Paragraph Review - Baby Driver (2017)

Copyright: Sony Pictures

This movie is all about the beats. Each shot and frame are designed to support the songs and their beat track, which is in itself an impressive feat. At the same time, the simple story of a reluctant heist driver caught below the paw of a big gangster is told well, adding another layer of deliciousness to this excellent cinematic dish. This way, Baby Driver isn�t so much about fast cars or cars of any kind, but about the way we keep our lives in the rhythm of it all.

The only difference is that the director chose to tell this in  the most extreme manner, glazing music and strong beats over everything, even eye movements and windshield cleaner swipes. This makes is one of the most intense movies that uses its score as the propagator of the plot ever since Whiplash came out. It also shares other things with it, making Baby Driver into an almost sequel-like work, but which confidently stands on its own feet. To put it plainly in musical terms, it has all the right grooves.

Indie Showcase: Pain & Music (2016)

Over the last few years or even the previous two decades, there have been some very solid cinematic works of art about the world of African-American music scene. Currently, Empire is a TV show that found mainstream success with its formula, while the slightly less-known Atlanta made by the brilliant Donald Glover is leagues in front of it when it comes to its simplicity and humor.

In the movie domain, Hustle & Flow made a few ripples over a decade ago but has practically disappeared since. Now, a new indie movie desires to continue on this path. It is called Pain & Music and it's currently available on Amazon Prime. Here's its official description:

Nevaeh Falls in love with Gunz a notorious stick-up kid from Virginia who promises to make her dreams come true at making it big in the music industry. A hood classic sure to leave you at the edge of your seat, full of twists & turns. Drugs, sex, murder, & music. Based on true events. A gangsta love story from a female perspective.

The description is honest and brutal just as much as the film aims to be, which its trailer shows off perfectly. The movie, just like its story, is often rough in its depiction of its character, much in the same way life itself treated them. While the glitz and the glamour of making it big on the music scene as an African-American seem to be a dream come true, the road to that dream is anything but dreamlike.

With an unapologetic approach to this cruel side of the show business, Pain & Music, which starts the multi-talented Shafone Collier is something you will definitely enjoy if you love the always-vibrant US "hood" genre.

Watch Pain & Music right now on Amazon Prime.
