You need to remember the past to appreciate the future, and with that in mind, let’s take a look back at Reelay’s month of May.
Run, Movies! Run!
Lace up your shoes, stretch those muscles, and get ready to hit the pavement because today we’re diving into the wonderful world of running movies! Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or just enjoy a casual jog around the block, these films are sure to inspire, entertain, and give you that extra boost of motivation. So, let’s lace up and explore the best running movies that will have you sprinting to the nearest track!
CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: @dankelme
One of Reelay’s favorite creators, @dankelme is so prolific that, should he not post at least once a day, we get very concerned. He’s got some excellent takes on movies and TV shows, both new and old. Hailing from Toronto, it’s our good friend, @dankelme!
May Top 100
When it comes to creating their first reelay, most users are curious about where to start. If you want a few movie or television show suggestions to help get your feet wet, picking a few off our May Top 100 list is a great place to begin.
Tik, Tok…Boom
With Montana banning TikTok last week, followed by TikTok suing Montana for breach of first amendment rights, many have started considering what a post-TikTok world looks like. The discussions on a ban of the service center on concerns about privacy and security and how data is saved and used – which were recently revealed to be less than stellar – in China where TikTok is headquartered.
CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: @medusaoblongato
Around the office, we call him “the man, the myth, the medusa!” always accompanied by the exclamation mark. Erik Ringman (www.eriktclayton.com) has been entertaining us with his Reelays since the very beginning, and we look forward to each of his hilarious and insightful reviews.
Cannes Do
With the Cannes Film Festival fully underway in the beautiful Cote D’Azur – and films getting praised (Black Flies, May December, et al…) and panned (we’re looking at you, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) left and right, we thought it’d be a good time to refresh you on proper French phrases with their root in cinema.
London’s Best
With King Charles’s recent coronation, London is again back in the spotlight. The city has long been a captivating backdrop for countless films, with its iconic landmarks, rich history, and vibrant atmosphere. From classic tales to modern blockbusters, the city’s charm and diversity have provided filmmakers with a wealth of inspiration.
The Doctor is In
In filmmaking, script doctors play a vital yet often overlooked role. While the screenwriter lays the foundation for a story, the script doctor brings a unique set of skills to the table, refining and enhancing the screenplay to elevate it to its full potential.
The Openers
Nothing sets the tone for a film quite like the opening scene. These are our first glance at the world the film inhabits, the characters, the look, and the cadence. We went onto Reddit and asked for users’ favorite opening scenes. These were the top ten.
