Although I’m incredibly late, Charlie Kaufman’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” has quickly jumped into the place of my favorite movie to come out of 2020. Ironically, it has themes that we all dealt with last year, namely loneliness, isolation, and confusion. While that interpretation of the story isn’t ever outright given to us, itContinue reading “I’m Thinking of Ending Things Review”

Ever wondered what a French Canadian Wes Anderson physical comedy movie would look like? Look no further than Lost in Paris. The film has a lot of elements that I think are absolutely brilliant. Most all gags are brilliant, and often payed homages to classic physical comedy greats, such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.Continue reading “Lost in Paris Review”

Finishing off right at the tail end of my winter break, I watched Royal Tenembaums. When I first watched this one, I wan’t a fan of it. And although it still doesn’t reach the top-tier Wes Anderson movies for me at this time, I appreciate it a lot more now. As I mentioned in myContinue reading “The Royal Tenembaums”

As Wes Anderson’s first film, ‘Bottle Rocket’ isn’t bad by any means, however, in comparison to the broader stroke of his work, it falls flat in a few areas. First of all, I’ll mention my largest problem with the film, and that’s how low the stakes are. Most of Anderson’s other movies have an almostContinue reading “Bottle Rocket”

The Darjeeling Limited is likely the most forgettable of all the Wes Anderson films. However, simply by that virtue doesn’t mean it’s bad. The Darjeeling Limited takes the interesting method of mixing Indian culture with the visual French-esque style of Wes Anderson. Of course, being that he writes his own script, this contrast is oftenContinue reading “The Darjeeling Limited”

Realizing I have somehow managed to miss reviewing nearly half of Wes Anderson’s movies, I figured it was a good time to revisit them and review the one’s I have yet to. And the first one on that list is “Life Aquatic.” I have a very strange relationship with this movie, because there’s so muchContinue reading “The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou”

For me, Fargo hits all the beats it needs to hit. It’s got a fine balance of comedy and drama, it has some amazing characters, balanced well with the cinematography, heck, it was even shot in my home state. But, at the same time, it doesn’t stick with me the way I feel it should.Continue reading “Fargo”

To be fair, this is my second watch, I wanted to wait to review this until after I saw the movie a second time. Now that I’ve done that, I will say that I’m glad I made this choice. The first time watching the movie, I became far too engrossed in the visuals and specialContinue reading “Tenet”

Steven Spielberg has publicly mentioned that Hook is his least favorite out of his filmography, and it’s not hard to see why. Although I don’t think it’s his worst, it’s one of the most forgettable and bland Spielberg films, with some great moments, and others that are better left forgotten. While this should have beenContinue reading “Hook Review”

Barton Fink is one of the most interesting Coen Brothers movies to date. Unlike many other movies, this one is slow, almost painfully slow. However, there is a meaning in that slowness. The extremely sluggish pacing allows for some brilliant dry dialogue. This not only helps the dramatic moments, but the comedic as well. Generally,Continue reading “Barton Fink Review”
