If there’s any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.
Each viewing I have of this film brings upon a new perspective. While Before Sunrise has always been one of my all time favorites, this time around I truly feel it on a deeper level. It is love captured on celluloid. Not your typical romance movie, but true affection and understanding. Jesse’s comment about how he’s always felt like he’s…

This will be my third time reviewing this film and I can still find new things to gush about. I’ll try to keep this brief though. Perfectly imperfect. The score has always been amazing, but I think it may be my favorite by Carpenter now. Just the best pairing with the moody atmosphere. It seems everyone is firing on all cylinders. Wallace, Cundey, Carpenter and Atkins. All stars. I have to touch on…
So lame. Adam Driver? More like Adam Passenger. The whole “parent needs to get back to his family” driving force storyline is so overplayed. Rarely does it work these days, especially for an action spectacle blockbuster. They really thought a couple cutesy moments between Passenger and the kid would help in the sympathy department. Nah, I wanted her to get devoured immediately after those moments. Even the dinosaur moments were tame compared to what we got 20 years ago with…
I knew from the opening plucked acoustic guitar that I was going to like this. A somber yet funny NYC road trip. Most films in the genre have moments of insanity and zaniness, Mottola keeps it all pretty low key. Strong emphasis on family dynamics and how some are just hanging by the thinnest of threads. All it takes is one sharp pair of scissors. What made this movie totally for me was the side story with the elderly Leon.…
“As I was leaving, I asked if he’d give me a ride home. I hadn’t ridden a motorcycle in a long time. Actually, I hadn’t been that close to anyone for a while. The road wasn’t that long and I knew I’d soon be getting off. But at that moment, I felt such warmth.”As each day goes by I realize I’m living in a Wong Kar-wai world. A world full of beautiful, lonely people longing for connection or just that…
This is why you use a Superhost when booking an Airbnb. I’ll refrain from giving out any details as it’s best to see this movie bone dry. Barbarian is bold. I don’t how many times my expectations were subverted, especially regarding Justin Long’s character. There were moments where I was shaking my head thinking “so this is where it all falls apart” only to get smacked in the face with something else entirely. It switches gears so fast you’ll get…
