The Best Shots of 2019

And we're done! Back in December I started posting my favorite shots of the decade, but I had to wait for all the 2019 releases to start hitting DVD before completing my list. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read and comment on all of my other posts. Here are my favorites from this past year. Don't forget to tell me yours.

    The clips for Us, Endgame, Jojo Rabbit, and Knives Out are great yet it's the one from Parasite that is the real winner. My mom really liked that film.

      Parasite was wonderful it's hard to choose something from it specifically.

    Some REALLY good picks. For me I could pick ten from "A Hidden Life" alone. I love that movie so much. And I know you aren't a fan, but there is a couple of shots just in Joker's subway scene that has really stuck with me. And Us, my gosh I love that movie.

      I haven't seen it yet! I'm just not a fan of Malick, but I probably would watch it on DVD. It might just take me a while lol.

    Awesome picks! That scene from Portrait of a Lady on Fire is such a mood. lol Love that you chose Black Widow for Avengers: Endgame 'cause the two most popular shots that come to mind is Cap during the fight scenes or I Am Iron Man.

      I love blue and fuchsia as a color combination so the scenes on Vormir really stuck out to me, especially with Natasha and her hair (which I loved) I wish Hawkeye had went instead of her.

      I loved Portrait of a Lady on Fire. So many pretty things to choose from.

      I laughed so hard at this shot from Knives Out in theaters. I love how that mug came into play.

    JoJob Rabbit's scene doesn't feel like JoJo Rabbit.. it fits into something else in my eyes and I can't really put my finger on it. It's a gorgeous shot though!

      I can see that, there really isn't another shot like it in the film but that's why it stood out so much to me.

      Everyone in my theater roared when the mug came into view. It was a perfect ending.

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...
