The Phoenician Scheme

2025

★★★ Watched

I think the issue for me is Wes Anderson's style has gotten to the point where, while technically still distinct and unique, doesn't FEEL unique any more. That, and it feels like the acting has lost some of the emotion which lent things like Grand Budapest Hotel extra life. This still looks and sounds great, and the humour raised a smile here and there, but I mostly watched this from the outside, and as much of a shame as it is to say, I can see myself skipping Wes' next in theatres.

Flow

2024

★★★½ Liked Watched

A very nice film, but as I've gotten older animals being emotional (non-anthropomorphized) is something that irrationally upsets me, so I felt weirdly sad for a lot of this lol

Inazuma Eleven the Movie: The Ultimate Force, Team Ogre, Attacks!

2010

★★★½ Liked 3

I'm really unsure how to feel about this. On the one hand, I love the Inazuma Eleven series, and this had me smiling within seconds. The characters are great, the music pumps me up, the animations really good... but most of it is directly from the anime.

Over half this movie is from the first series of the show, and there's even a point where they just montage through a good chunk of it! It feels very lazy and sloppily…

The Prince of Egypt

1998

The Disney Renaissance WISHES it had an animated musical as good as The Prince of Egypt.

(also, happy one year Letterboxd anniversary, me!)
