Big Lebowski, TheBig Lebowski, The (1998)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) This is a movie I like more every time I see it. A great noir tale with an unlikely hero, with jokes in spades. To watch this movie is to be invited into a broader cultural conversation, and that alone is worthwhile. The flawless performances are gravy.
Lawrence of ArabiaLawrence of Arabia (1962)Aro Favourite
3 stars (Good Enough) Ok, stunning landscapes, beautiful shots, wildly influential. I get it. Also, problematic brown face, and easilly 40 min to long. The framing device didn't work for me. Desert shots were stunning.
Kumiko, the Treasure HunterKumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014)Aro Favourite
3 stars (Good Enough) It's a beautiful movie, for certain. And a compelling build on an American–favorite urban legend. And Rinko Kikuchi is stunning in this. But despite all of that, I can't think of a compelling reason to watch this movie.
FargoFargo (1996)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Beautiful cinematography. Masterclass acting. Fabulous rural noir, with a great score to boot. And yet, as a Midwesterner, I can't help but feel a bit made fun of by the Minnesota–charactures.
Y Tu Mama TambienY Tu Mama Tambien (And Your Mother Too!) (2001)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) A frank discussion about the birds and the bees, but also about male love and "two Mexicos", and life in the face of death. Beautifully shot.
Fellini's 8 1/2Fellini's 8 1/2 (1963)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) I adored this movie and I connected with it almost immediately. I was fully prepared to be dismissive of it, but I was captivated by the spirit and Id.
Anvil: The Story of AnvilAnvil: The Story of Anvil (2008)Aro Favourite
2 stars (Good Try) Not sure why this documentary exists. Is it just to show a plucky–enough band persist despite being culturally irrelevant and rejected at large? I don't know what's to get me invested in their success, and their story is common without being relatable.
PrisonersPrisoners (2013)
3 stars (Good Enough) People around me loved this; did I miss something? I didn't empathise with this story of a how a person goes to reclaim their loved ones. The puzzle seemed more grindhouse–silly than dramatically compelling. Good cast, but for Villeneuve completists only
Con AirCon Air (1997)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) This is a sort of perfect bad movie. Star–studded with a bizarrely 90s score, and peak scenery–chewing Cage. It's the sort of movie that leaves you no different for having seen it. I would believe anything you told me about the production of this movie.
Wayne's WorldWayne's World (1992)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) Don't worry, guys. If this movie somehow gets wiped off the face of the earth, I can basically recreate it, shot for shot, from memory.
