Because I’m slightly busy this week, I thought it would be a good opportunity to go through every single Taika Waititi short film. To start off, Two Cars, One Night. Although this is Taika’s first publicly released directorial debut, that doesn’t mean it’s at all bad. In fact, he was nominated for an Oscar becauseContinue reading “Two Cars, One Night Review”

Tideland movie was uncomfortable to watch. In my previous review of Brother’s Grimm, I pointed out how this seemed to mark a downward spiral in Terry Gilliam’s directing, Tideland just confirmed this to me. It seemed that Terry Gilliam was really trying to make another Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a movie that madeContinue reading “Tideland Review”

Made by Denis Villeneuve, the director and writer of the upcoming Dune movie and Blade-runner 2049, Arrival is one of the most realistic, yet abstract, visions of what aliens visiting earth would look like. The overall premise is set up wonderfully, even though the exposition only lasts about five minutes. But, this is just theContinue reading “Arrival Review”

One word comes to mind after watching Temple of Doom. Racist. No, actually three. Racist, sexist, cash-grab. The last one was hyphenated, but you get the point. Even with the great world building set up in Raiders of the Lost arc, Temple of Doom throws all of that away. While Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones isContinue reading “Temple of Doom Review”

I’m not going to say much about Brothers Grimm, because, I don’t really want to think about it anymore. At first, I had to check to make sure I was watching the right movie, because this does not feel like it was directed by Terry Gilliam. Down to just about everything. Even though I haveContinue reading “Brothers Grimm Review”

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a classic spaghetti Western, most well known for Ennio Morricone’s iconic score. Even though I had tried watching this before, I fell asleep early on, but I was determined to finish it. However, as excited as I was, when I sat down to watch it, I understoodContinue reading “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Review”

No director has made a cultural impact as significant as Steven Spielberg. Although his films aren’t necessarily best picture material, he shaped the idea of the blockbuster, and honestly, a lot of people’s childhoods in the 80s. E.T. is a perfect example of Spielberg at his best. The story is a unique movie that hasContinue reading “E.T. Review”

Although I love the MCU, I have somehow missed the opportunity to review any of the movies in the saga. However, now that I am watching every Taika movie (again), I will finally review one of my favorites, Thor Ragnarok. Now, is Thor Ragnarok a good movie, not really. However, in the context of theContinue reading “Thor: Ragnarok”

Terry Gilliam has come a long ways since his days in Python. Both sides to his filmography have positive and negative outcomes, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very unique exception to that. In all of Gilliam’s films there seems to be a very distinct look, not to the extent of Wes Anderson,Continue reading “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Review”

The Life of Brian may not be the most of the Python’s films in America, but for a large portion of Europe, Life of Brian is more celebrated than Holy Grail. Unlike Holy Grail, The Life of Brian is directed by Terry Jones while Holy Grail was both Jones and Gilliam. Through this, it’s incrediblyContinue reading “Monty Python’s: The Life of Brian Review”
