Wake up, Donnie. There are 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and twelve seconds until the world ends… When I began watching Donny Darko, I was kind of disappointing, I had already seen too many ‘boy with mental problems meets terrifying imaginary rabbit telling him about the end of the world’ movies. In all honestyContinue reading “Donnie Darko”

Jeez is this a fun movie, I’m going to sound like a broken record, but Kevin Smith knows how to write. As a huge nerd, I felt that the conversations in this movie were very fun to watch and intriguing. Many jokes in the film land extremely well, and Jason Lee gives a really funContinue reading “Mallrats”

Gaining access to a new streaming service full of independent films, Kanopy, I was excited to see what they had to offer. So, being that Jojo Rabbit is my favorite movie of all time, and Thomasin Mckenzie (Elsa in Jojo Rabbit) starred in this, I figured that it would be fitting to start with LeaveContinue reading “Leave No Trace”

Finally finishing Wes Anderson’s filmography, I decided that I would rent Fantastic Mr. Fox. I watched it in the movie theatre when it initially came out, however, honestly, I didn’t remember any of it. So, I finally rented it and put it on, and what a ride. The movie is really fun, I’ve never readContinue reading “Fantastic Mr. Fox”

As mentioned in my Dogma review, Kevin Smith is a brilliant writer, and his ability to make a realistic conversation is admirable. Clerks is certainly not exception. While the story beats jump all over the place, the dialogue is written in such a way that it could easily pass for the kind of conversations youContinue reading “Clerks”

I know that I said that I wasn’t going to do any of the Wes Anderson movies that I had previously watched, but there was a live Q and A with Wes Anderson, so I couldn’t help myself. Moonrise Kingdom is one of the best representations of Wes Anderson’s writing style. While movies like GrandContinue reading “Moonrise Kingdom”

During Self Isolation, there are those who try new things, and there are those who fall into the habits of doing old things. Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle, yes, I am constantly watching new movies, however, I have been challenging myself to try new types of movies, watching Buster Keaton’s movie was definitelyContinue reading “The General”

As a fan of the improvised mockumentary style (i.e. Spinal Tap) and a theater nerd, I was really looking forward to finally watching this movie. And while it definitely delivered, I feel that it was less complete than other Christopher Guest movies, and that was kind of disappointing. The story is rather simple, a smallContinue reading “Waiting for Guffman”

If you know anything about my taste in film, you will know that Taika Waititi is my favorite director of all time. I’ve always found that his comedic, dramatic, and visual styles are always blended in a perfect way. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a perfect example of this, if it weren’t for Jojo Rabbit,Continue reading “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”

Terry Gilliam’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,” is funny and intriguing, however, it somehow also fails in certain areas and doesn’t live up to my high expectations. I should clarify, I did have some really high expectations for this film, Monty Python is some of the most brilliant comedy ever, and the fact thatContinue reading “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote”
