Eventually, everyone watches a film that hits them so hard that they want to tell the whole world to go watch it and that is what I’m doing here with the 2013 film, About Time. I watched this for the first time in the early morning just before work and found it was the perfect film to start off the day. After watching, I left the house and I was smiling, in a good mood, and thought of times with…
When first watching The Tree of Life back in 2011, it was after a friend of mine vented how bad it was. He said it was so awful that I just had to watch it. So I did, and he was quite surprised to find that I did not agree as I found myself in awe of the visuals and sound, its poetic story of how little we are in the grand scheme of things, and loved the dichotomy of…
Wow. I had forgotten how fantastic this film is. It has just about everything that makes an action film great. A likable hero in Ethan Hunt, a great villain played by the incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman, a focus on Ethan’s relationship which really works, the action is top notch and that beginning is one intense way to open a film! Yes I believe this film will remain my favorite of the Mission Impossible film series.
This low budget 70’s film from the legendary John Carpenter is a bit choppy at first but when the station becomes under attack it’s loads of intense fun. I got some Night of the Living Dead vibes when the antagonists attacked the precinct which was awesome and I surprisingly found a couple of the characters enjoyable and began pulling for some I didn’t expect to. If you enjoy John Carpenters work and haven’t check this out yet I think you would find a lot to like in Assault on Precinct 13.
When this first came out I had no intention of seeing it due to its premise but after good word of mouth I went in and was so relieved to find Revenge was much better than expected and I was in awe of its visuals and sound. Coralie Fargeat had one hell of a directorial debut! Matilda Lutz is fantastic as the vengeful Jen and I've got to give props to Vincent Colombe as well, especially his expressions during a foot scene. I squirm and laugh every time.
Watched this again today and it is definitely a favorite of 2018. Revenge is bloody fantastic!
