First I want to thank everyone for following my blog even though my reviews are only a small paragraph or a few lines....my numbers of looks on the blog from the states and and outside the states have still been high each day. It is Awesome!!
Well here are my top 5 films so far this year in no particular order:
ISLE OF DOGS
Oddly wonderful.
It gets a little loose at the end, but most Anderson films are.
But still classic Wes Anderson, if you do not get Wes Anderson films....well you may not get this.
Isle Of Dogs is available for home viewing around July 17th
A QUIET PLACE
Really scary, almost exhausting.
Well acted by all involved Emily Blunt; John Krasinski; Noah Jupe; and the actual hearing impaired Millicent Simmonds.
Well written and directed by John Krasinski.
I have been told, and have received email from many people saying the movie was too quiet, and it annoyed them that they could hear people eating popcorn and such. Well that is what makes this film so good. It is a thriller and horror and at the same time...oddly quiet. It is different!
A Quiet Place is available for home viewing around July 10th.
DEADPOOL 2
SOOOO FUNNY and I am not a big superhero guy!!
Yes the story is very choppy, but just go with it. It is a comedy. So many funny lines!
Oh, it earns its rated R label.
Deadpool 2 is still out in theatres and is available for home viewing August 21st.
WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?
Just a wonderful doc.!
Loved it!
Everybody should see it.
He just walked the earth with peace and love in his heart.
If I had a fault it would be...I wanted to see or hear more about his home life.
Still I was happy it also touched on something I note often in this blog.
Be careful about what type of entertainment you expose to children....it may end up being the norm.
You will cry, you will laugh.
Won't You Be My Neighbor is in theatres now.
AMERICAN ANIMALS
Not based on a true story...........it is a true story.
Its crazy. Funny. Sometimes thrilling. Yet sometimes sad.
And in the end you wonder what was real in the eyes of these students. Was this heist orchestrated by a puppet master.
Well acted. Interesting editing decisions made by director Bart Layton....to have the real characters narrate throughout the film. So different....so real...kinda crazy heist film.
American Animals can be found in theatres and is available for home viewing in late August.
How about my best performance by a female:
EMILY BLUNT IN A QUIET PLACE
She carries the film!!
How about best performance by a male:
CHADWICK BOSEMAN IN BLACK PANTHER
A difficult job to carry this movie and going head to head with another wonderful actor Michael B Jordan, and he still shines above all.
How about best newcomer:
Kiersey Clemons in Hearts Beat Loud.
Yes she was in Dope, but here she steps forward and shows she is a wonderful actress, and is a talented singer.
How about best surprising twist:
TULLY
No spoilers but...YIKES!!!
Tully comes out for home viewing July 31st. Note: there is a bit of sadness.
Top three movies I am looking forward to in the next six months:
FIRST MAN
A STAR IS BORN
When this trailer was released I was flooded with messages. Telling me to see it and that Lady Ga Ga is awesome. Well from the trailer...it looks that way. Plus Cooper directs and it seems like he can sing.
THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB
I was not getting Claire Foy as Lisbeth Salander, but then I saw the trailer.
Well as always thanks for your time!!
