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.

DeleteSome very nice shots. Love Moonlight
ReplyDeleteThank you! So do I.
Delete10 amazing films, The Handmaiden for me is the best film of that year with Moonlight as a close 2nd.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading! I'm due for a re-watch of The Handmaiden.
DeleteOh my god! I love that shot from Captain America: Civil War!
ReplyDeleteI do too, it's still my favorite Marvel movie.
DeleteThe Handmaiden! <3 So many amazing shots in this one
ReplyDeleteIt was! Loved this so much.
DeleteThat Civil War scene was amazing, and the movie is one of my all-time Marvel favorites!
ReplyDeleteAlso, love that you included Handmaiden, one of my all time favorites, too!
Same! Civil War is still my favorite of the MCU movies.
DeleteIf La La Land ever gets a re-run at cinemas I'm in, the colors and music are special, even if the love story didn't totally win me over on first watch.
ReplyDeleteI liked La La Land better on the second watch as well. I think it's because it was so heavily hyped that when I saw it and just liked but didn't love it, I was disappointed. It was still one of my favorites but I appreciate it more now.
DeleteYes at those La La Land and Civil War shots!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes at the nod to The Neon Demon. Hell, you could pick just about any frame from that movie and you wouldn't be wrong. ;)
There was SO much to choose from in that movie!
DeleteI thought Jackie's cinematography was one of its strongest assets. Great call there. Also love the look of The Neon Demon.
ReplyDeleteJackie overall was such a wonderful movie and I wish Natalie Portman would've won for it.
