The Best Shots of the Decade: 2011

-
This month, I wanted to start sharing "Decade" posts celebrating the 2010's. It's extra fitting that this year is the 10 anniversary of Rambling Film. I decided to split up each year, with 10 gifs from 10 different films. Here are some shots that stood out to me in 2011. 

Shame (2011)

Pariah:

 The Descendants

 Drive

Take Shelter

We Need To Talk About Kevin

Martha Marcy May Marlene

Like Crazy

Midnight in Paris


Hanna


BONUS
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II (2011)
 okay this is because I'm a shameless Romione shipper but I FINALLY got to visualize this kiss even if it was poorly staged. DON'T JUDGE ME.

    I enjoy reading (well looking at) these decade posts. Especially how subjective they can be. That's great underwater acting in The Descendants. The ending of Midnight in Paris was my favorite part of the movie.

      It annoys me so much Shailene Woodley got snubbed for an Oscar nomination with that performance. She was outstanding.

      I normally hate Woody Allen movies and don't even bother trying to watch them anymore, but Midnight in Paris was just gorgeous. Quite the anomaly.

    Ah, I love all of those shots. Even the one in Deathly Hallows Pt. 2. It has more joy and life than those goddamn prequels that J.K. Lucas is creating.

    Take Shelter is so good even though Chastain is in it, that ending was fantastic (especially the music)

      I know! It's one of my favorite closing shots of all time.

    I love that you mentioned "Take Shelter". I'm not sure if there is a more underrated movie this entire decade. The fact that Shannon didn't get an Oscar nomination still sets me on fire.

      Oh I know, he was so good in this. It baffles me this film didn't get more attention.

    I don't know what happened to me in 2011 but I've only seen 1 movie from these picks! (and your bonus of course, which is perfect).

    The kiss between Ron and Hermione is so frustrating. There's so many angles David could've used from the behind-the-scenes footage, and he chose the one where their hands cover each other's faces. It's a great pick, but so frustrating. lol Another awesome post!

      I was livid when I saw the BTS footage. If the camera was on the opposite side of them it would've looked so much better. I'm just glad he put it in the movie. You know Kloves' H/Hr loving ass didn't want to.

    That Drive shot. So much going on in such a relatively simple scene and such a brief moment in time. I love it. :)

      Drive was another hard one to choose a scene from. There were so many great shots.

    This was such a good year for film. I love so many of these shots and am thrilled that great shot from Shame made the cut.

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 ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
