Blue Jay (2016)
heartwarming real
Mark Duplass has written a screenplay of subtle beauty that really is transfigured by both actors that grace the stage. I got this film for free and I must say that I feel a bit guilty for it. It heralds joy and nostalgia and reality in subtle measures. It is beautifully crafted; I think shooting in black and white was a strophe. I usually avoid b & w but I think it complimented the tone and the titillation here. The chemistry between the two main actors speaks of colour.
I will buy this film or it will pass like a mandala.
Either way, It is quietly beautiful, I hope someone reading this can enjoy it in new ways.
Review (2014)
review everything
A Very enjoyable farce in which the host is game for a laugh. The seriousness and commitment that Andrew Daly brings to the character is to be applauded. He reviews many life situations from the bizarre to the feared and delves in with enthusiasm that's to be admired. Everything from "being gay" to "murder" to "joining a cult". In short, try everything in life and review it!!!
I only hope it hasn't been cancelled or worse that the presenter hasn't died from heart failure.
Here I am reviewing "reviewed"
O the irony. I dare you not to laugh.
Moone Boy (2012)
full of heart
Moone boy's charm is in its heart and it's firmly in the right place. At its core, it's a coming of age comedy/drama about a boy and his imaginary friend. There are so many poignant moments that it may be deserving of a second viewing. If you were a kid growing up in the late 80's and early 90's you're more likely to get the humour but there's humour aplenty for everyone. I was never a fan of Chris O' Dowd (I thought his humour bland) but it works here and in the right places. The first series is the better as it dips in the second, hence the nine out of ten rating, still Moone Boy hits much more than it misses and I recommend it highly.
Mr. Nobody (2009)
Billed as a sci-fi but existentialist to the core
After watching "Mr Nobody", I was in a bit of a daze. The story is complex to say the least but the characters and the ideas (of which there are many) kept me intrigued. I found myself thinking on the various subjects that the film touches on as the movie played out. By the end I was left with compelling and contradictory ideas that left me perplexed but I can honestly say it was worth every minute and for this simple reason ..at its core "Mr Nobody" is about love and the almost impossible choices that we have to make. It is existentialist to its core and touches on string theory, quantum theory, (but in an easy to understand way) and the consequences of the choices we make. And yet after thinking on the movie as a whole, it is about intense pain ..being torn between two loves and having to choose. As a movie, the directing is very very good, the acting very good and the cinematography is excellent. I'd highly recommend it.
