Good production design and cinematography, but man, can we just ban de-aging old actors, already?

Also, I guess when your action star is 80 years old, you've gotta make all the action sequences car...

Something of a wonder to see Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable in their final film, which was penned by Arthur Miller and directed by John Huston. Eli Wallach and Montgomery Clift are also great in this.

It's...

If you've seen First Reformed and/or The Card Counter, then you've seen this movie. It's still pretty entertaining and Joel Edgerton gives a great stoic performance, but it's a minor Schrader work for...

Basically what the title says. I'm about finished with the rough draft of a feature script that I intend to get off the ground ASAP. Here are the films that I thought about while writing it.

Taxi Driver...

This film had me laughing and squirming in equal measure. It's an examination of a couple - the man, Thomas, is an artist who makes art by stealing furniture and the woman, Signe, works at a bakery/coffeeshop....

Shinkai basically makes the same movie over and over again but he never fails to make me laugh, cry, and fall in love with all the characters. I love how optimistic this movie is about humanity and...

Van Sant uses the long tracking shots through the school to put us in the shoes of all the students. It's a day at high school unlike any other day. Girls talk about how bad the food is, a guy takes...

The story is pretty simple and feels like something of an old legend. Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun Fat were great, of course. The character of Jen was just so unlikeable. The wire fighting, choreography,...

The quality spike is so noticeable. David Zucker is a much better comedy filmmaker than the Wayans. He got rid of the grossout humor and replaced it with actually funny jokes. Leslie Nielsen was great...

The story is something you've seen before a million times - the typical hero's journey with all the classic beats, but the movie manages to fit a lot into its short runtime and remain fun throughout....

Got to see Andrew Bujalski and some of the cast and crew present this film. It's a weird analog mumblecore film that has held up incredibly well. I really liked it when I saw it back in 2013 and I think...

Kathleen Turner was great and sexy of course. I still maintain that Anthony Perkins was one of the greatest actors of the 20th century.

But... I never thought that I would watch a film that featured,...

I've gotta change saying that something is like watching paint dry to saying something is like watching lichen grow because this movie is literally just about lichen growing.

It's got some beautiful...

This is a movie where the beautiful people win and the not so beautiful lose. It felt very realistic and Moodysson paints the characters in an efficient and human way. It reminds me of the popular teen...

It's more misery porn than sexploitation or erotica, showcasing how Justine's innocence and virtue only leads her through a life of suffering, while other wicked people prosper. It's a bit cheesy and...

This feels like an arthouse movie that could have released in the 70s or 80s. I could tell that this film was influenced by Herzog, Tarkovsky, and Bergman, but it still managed to be original and wholly...
