    I don’t think I can add anything to the universal praise this movie has gotten already, so I’ll just say that it is indeed glorious, and I loved the fuck out of it. More like this please.

    This documentary about Ghibli is currently on Netflix, and so don’t miss out. Really fantastic look at the inner workings of the studio, in a very natural and personal way, that tracks them as they were working on the latest two film releases. Enjoyed this immensely. 

  • The Spy Who Loved Me

    I don’t usually mention here when I re-watch Bond films, because I do it all the time, but on my recent flight from Japan to Canada I only watched one movie, and it was The Spy Who Loved Me – don’t know why, but they had it as part of the selection in the flight…

    I remember that when this movie came out a lot of people were criticizing it for a few things, including the presence of Matt Damon, and the ending. I finally got around to watching it, and I have to say I really, really enjoyed it, including those two aspects (Damon plays a frustrating character, but…

    As much as I’ve loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy (I’ve re-watched it countless times), I just haven’t felt that love for The Hobbit. Initially, I didn’t much like the first film – I still really don’t like the entire 45 minute intro – but upon re-watching it during the holidays I found more to…

    It starts off slower than I’d like, but once things got rolling, this was a pretty fun movie to watch. Loved the San Fransokyo setting, and they did a good job with the characters and the abilities. Not much else to say really, just good fun with slick visuals.

    Despite the very uneven start – sorry, but no puppy in the world acts that way, and the color saturation was just way overdone – this ended up being one of the best violent action movies I’ve watched in ages. I think this may have the best fight/gun action sequences since HK-era John Woo. Sure,…

    There are not many movies that I like more than I did Whiplash. I watched this last night, and wow, I was just completely carried away in the rhythm of the film. Sure, there are aspects that feel so typical of the student-mentor film genre, but it really does go beyond that and in slightly…

    After everything that’s happened, it’s just not really that funny a movie. I was really hoping for a laugh riot like This Is the End, but it definitely wasn’t that. Sure, there are some funny bits here and there, but overall it’s pretty disappointing.

    Yes, I finally got around to watching this. It’s certainly a lovely film to watch on a technical level, but in terms of story and characters, I preferred Tangled. And yes, the fact that “Let It Go” has been so overexposed over the past year really makes it annoying when it comes up, but I…
