ReplyDeleteThank you for reading!
DeleteAwesome images! I especially loved Cabin in the Woods and Avengers! Happy 10th Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Cabin was hard to choose, there was a lot of really cool shots but I'm always a sucker for red.

ReplyDeleteLMAO no.
DeleteAh, amazing shots. Nothing from Holy Motors?

DeleteThat Avengers shot is a classic. And glad someone else remembers Another Earth! Loved that film!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Another Earth! Big fan of Brit Marling.
DeleteGREAT captures from Take This Waltz and The Master. And always love seeing some appreciation for Rust and Bone!
ReplyDeleteI didn't *love* Rust and Bone but there were a lot of really great things about it. The Master is a film I've been wanting to rewatch lately.
