Film #10- Broken English
The first time I saw Broken English I left the theater feeling uneasy about Guillaume, a French man who speaks little English and spending few days in NYC. Why? [...]
Film #9 The September Issue
Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress or a pair of J Brand blue jeans instead of something basic from K-Mart it doesn’t mean that you’re a dumb person- Anna Wintour
I didn’t know what to expect when I started watching The September Issue except that it [...]
Film #8 Shortbus
“New York is where everyone comes to stop being alone”
“Don’t ever say that relationships’ normality lies in it’s complicated nature”
“I wanna do it by myself, in the dark, like a warm”
Last year, I was feeling a bit uncreative. I went to work, played with friends and traveled across the country but it still [...]
Film #7 5oo Days of Summer
I was unable to produce an entry for today so my dear friend @FrequentLee lent me a hand and agreed on me posting the below review for 500 Days of Summer that was originally posted on his great blog . I do highly recommend watching 500 Days if you haven’t [...]
Film #6 Hard Candy
Many people will tell you that Juno was Ellen Page’s breakout roll. I beg to differ; I think Page’s breakout role was playing Hayley in Hard Candy. I just watched the trailer to refresh some of the missing pieces in my memory which only led to my heart rate increasing for the [...]
Film #5 20 CM
I’m going to start by saying that I’m not a fan of musicals. I, think, most musicals are also categorized as dramas which does not make much sense in my head. How does someone’s death promote you to start singing, I often thought. That said, once in a while a musical falls [...]
Film #4- The Band’s Visit.
Do you know Chet Baker? See this film and you’ll understand.
I’m actually worried that this post will not be noticed since it will be published on the notorious #FollowFriday and this film needs to be noticed. The solution? This post will be published today and again tomorrow, in the midst of [...]
Film #3 Fish Tank
I wasn’t going to write about Fish Tank because it’s still in that unfortunate purgatory state. Not at theaters but not at your friendly neighborhood video rental store either. It’s somewhere in between and therefore you cannot be provided with the instant gratification of seeing it after you read this. There are [...]
Film #2 He Loves Me He Loves Me Not.
You see someone across the room that you really like and immediately start fantasizing about the kind of future you’ll have together. Maybe you’ll both leave the party at the same time and he’ll offer you a ride, after that, you’ll plan to go out for dinner [...]
Unlike my “Go See It” category this is going to be a much shorter version of my reviews. There are 305 days left of this year. I will attempt to write a mini review of 305 films that you should see. Who said it’s ever too late clearly is unaware of my existence.
Film #1 The [...]
