Moon is an interesting use of the living on a distant planet science fiction category. Rather than focusing on the character escaping, Sam Rockwell’s character knows he’s going to escape… until he doesn’t. Before I get into this one too much, I’m going to spoil the whole thing, so if you haven’t watched this one,Continue reading “Moon”

As Terry Gilliam finally taps into his more serious side, he makes one of the weirdest films I have ever seen, Brazil, and I flipping love it. While the film certainly has its funny points, I found interest in the deeper relevance to problems in the modern workplace. Now, that sounds like a lot forContinue reading “Brazil”

The Dark Knight was a defining moment in Christopher Nolan’s career. What I admire in Nolan is that he seems to find the perfect balance between thrilling blockbuster and a rich and full story, The Dark Knight is one of the best examples of this. The overall direction and writing of this film makes Batman,Continue reading “The Dark Knight”

Following my feelings of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz,’ I was excited to see where ‘The World’s End’ would take Edgar Wright’s Cornetto trilogy. So, you can imagine my disappointment when this movie kind of ruined the entire trilogy for me. I suppose I should explain, this movie was fun, and that’s allContinue reading “The World’s End”

As it came on Netflix, my interest in Social Network grew. Which is odd, I’m not on any social media platforms such as Facebook, but the story of how it came about did seem interesting. Also, Jesse Eisenberg is great in almost everything he does, so it was slightly surprising when, although I liked theContinue reading “Social Network”

Terry Gilliam’s ‘Time Bandits’ is an incredibly joyous kids movie that just gets more fun as you go through. This kind of time travel movie isn’t anything too original, but the way Gilliam did it makes it seem like something special. As a start, the structure of the film works extremely well. Rather than choosingContinue reading “Time Bandits”

Putting Christopher Nolan on the map, Batman Begins is one of the best Batman movies of all time, and it isn’t hard to see why. Nolan’s style truly begins to shine in this movie, still, it’s a shame that he will likely always be known for this, as it certainly isn’t Nolan’s best. Batman Begins’Continue reading “Batman Begins”

Hot Fuzz is a great fish out of water story that uses Edgar Wright’s visual style very well. This time, he is parodying the cop movie genre, and it works. Taking a character that is used to high crime city life and putting him in a small town allows for some brilliant comedic bits, however,Continue reading “Hot Fuzz”

Going into Ladybird, I had scattered expectations. My only previous exposure to Greta Gerwig was Little Women, which honestly, I didn’t care for too much. Still, after all of the good press Ladybird got, I remained optimistic, and I’m glad I did, because Ladybird is amazing. The true genius in this film comes in howContinue reading “Ladybird”

Going back to their roots of sketch, the final Monty Python movie is a funny movie that has moments engraved in film history. There isn’t too much to say about it. But, part of that is due to it’s simplicity in style. The Meaning of Life feels like the Pythons were thinking of their nextContinue reading “Monty Python’s: The Meaning of Life”
