Edgar Wright’s distinct visual comedic style is truly what makes his movies great. As I am beginning to watch every Edgar Wright film, I have only watched Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim. Even from those two movies, it’s clear that Edgar Wright truly has a firm grasp on how to visually convey comedy. A movieContinue reading “Shaun of the Dead”

Do you like meat? Well, if you do, I’d advise against watching this movie. Okja is one of Bong Joon-Ho’s best films. Overall, while it does have its flaws, the strong story and message more than makes up for it. One thing that Bong Joon-Ho is clearly good at is building tension. Between Parasite andContinue reading “Okja”

As I’ve mentioned before, Christopher Nolan is a genius. However, as much as I love Inception, I can’t deny that The Prestige is somewhat of a flop. Now, no, this is far from the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Yet, amongst Nolan’s other films, this one just falls flat. I found that my main complaintContinue reading “The Prestige”

Oh, hi Mark. I remember watching the Disaster Artist for the first time. I was on an Iceland air flight and I saw my mom watching it, and in rebellion, I did too. And boy, that was a good choice. Not only is The Disaster Artist a great spoof of Tommy Wiseau’s career, it isContinue reading “The Disaster Artist”

For a long time, Holy Grail was actually my favorite movie of all time. And although it isn’t my favorite any longer, I understand why it was. This movie is outrageously funny. There are so many moments in this that I quote every single day. If you haven’t watched it, I can’t see why. TheContinue reading “Holy Grail”

Brilliant. That’s all I have to say. This is one of the funniest and best movies I have ever watched. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Taika Waititi is a god, we must praise him. To think that I get to live in the universe where the guy who made this indie comedyContinue reading “What We Do In the Shadows”

Starting a Christopher Nolan movie watch through, I had never heard of Memento. Honestly, I’m not sure why. The movie takes a brilliant theme and expands on it in a way that keeps the audience on the edge of their seat the entire time. Using the “condition” of short term memory loss, we are ableContinue reading “Memento”

The Farewell discusses the theme of loss in a brilliant and creative way. In The Farewell, Akwafina’s grandmother is dealing with cancer, and is terminally ill. Rather than telling her, the family lies to her and says everything is ok. To avoid having the grandmother find out, Akwafina’s character is pushed out of the familyContinue reading “The Farewell”

Slumdog Millionaire offers so much to love. Truly, the method of storytelling is brilliant and creative, truly deserving of the Best Picture award it received. However, honestly, there isn’t a lot more to it. The movie follows a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. As he answers every question correct, we cut toContinue reading “Slumdog Millionare”

By only his second movie, it seems like Taika had found his style and the necessary writing elements to make an excellent compelling movie. Boy is all Taika asking a ‘what if’ question about his past. At a very young age, his father died. In Boy, Taika is looking at what may have happened ifContinue reading “Boy”
