      Age of Ultron is underrated, it had some amazing shots in it. My girl Wanda's is my fav though.

      I didn't care for Carol the movie (or the book) but I can't deny it's a beautifully made film.

    Yaaaaaaas! There's only 1 here I haven't seen. I couldn't find many positive reviews for Crimson Peak but I've always been tempted to watch it anyway.

      It's not great but it's absolutely beautiful. It's fine, especially for a DVD watch.

    Lots of great ones in this batch especially. And that Mad Max one is again another classic. :)

    I love that sequence from Sicario so much. I'm really looking forward to Deakins winning another Oscar this year :)

      He deserves it. 1917 was gorgeous and I threw such a fit that he didn't win for Sicario. lol

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing Bobby, and the

Review: Annihilation

I don't know... Lena (Natalie Portman) is a biologist whose husband, Kane (Oscar Isaac) went missing a year prior on a covert mission. When he suddenly reappears in bad shape, Lena is taking to a top secret facility. She meets with Dr. Ventress (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who explains her husband's mission consisted of him going into "The Shimmer." A strange bubble like substance engulfing an area of national park space. He's the only person they've sent in that has come back. Lena decides to join Ventress's mission into the Shimmer along with three other medical professionals/scientists. (played by Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez and Tuva Novotny)  I haven't read the book this film is based on so I can't comment on how well it's adapted, but I found this to be very thought provoking. After recently being let down with another scifi film, Mute , seeing this one meet high expectations was a relief. It's definitely weird and doesn't

Review: Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Have you known love? Marianne (Noémie Merlant) is a painter sent to an island to paint a portrait of Héloïse. (Adèle Haenel) The painting is for her soon to be husband, who will marry her if he likes the painting. Héloïse's mother ( Valeria Golino) tells Marianne she must paint in secret and that she's only there to accompany her on walks, but soon they form a bond and Marianne can't help but come clean. Was there a non- Oscar movie more hyped on Film Twitter this year than Portrait of a Lady on Fire ? I went in with impossibly high expectations and thankfully I didn't leave disappointed.  I really enjoy director Céline Sciamma's work. While I still prefer Water Lilies on a technical level this film is probably her best. It's beautifully shot and acted. The interesting thing is that there's no score, apart from two scenes where music plays. It's an interesting choice considering one of the first conversations these two women have is about
