Mr. Nobody, 2009
Watched Mar 08, 2012 • 10/10

I need to watch this film again. And again. And again, for the rest of my life. It spoke to me and my ‘Choose Your Own Adventure” mindset on life perfectly. So, much that it stole ideas from a story I’ve been outlining. I absolutely loved it. Might just be the best film I’ll watch this year.

Unbelievably…fucked, the highly recommendation I think. Fuck me. This movie will mess you up. What just happened. I liked it. Naw, fuck it, I loved it.

 

Shotgun Stories, 2007
Watched Sep 27, 2012 • 8/10

Shotgun Stories is a great and powerful film, it captures the epitome of a film maker’s “tone”. And the characters that emerge are as authentic as it gets. Jeff Nichols is definitely a director to watch.

 

Jiro Dreams of Sushi, 2011
Watched Dec 26, 2012 • 9/10

Finally got around to consuming this and I’ve never craved any food more than I have during its 82 minutes. Such a grand, eloquent film with the most beautifully harmonious score. Check it out, but beware doing so on an empty stomach.

Jiro’s is a Michelin 3-Stars restaurant, a perfect rating, meaning exceptional cuisine and worthy of making a special trip to that country. As of 2009, there were only 81 in the world. Reservation are made at least a month in advance and will cost a minimum of $350. I think it’s time for me to start saving.

“Always look ahead and above yourself. Always try to improve on yourself. Always strive to elevate your craft. That’s what he taught me.”

 

Perfect Sense, 2011
Watched Jan 01, 2013 • 6/10

Reeling from Perfect Sense. A bleak, beautiful and terrifying film.

There were parts I really enjoyed about it, the tone, the idea to live for the now, to embrace beauty where ever you find it and that life goes on. But in the end…I don’t know. Still reeling I guess. And honesty, a bit depressed. I can only recommend this film for ones strong emotionally; it really did a number on me.
