The Lighthouse Movie Review

October 21, 2019 (updated October 22, 2019) Published by

The opening of ‘The Lighthouse’ reels you into 1890 rather quickly and very skillfully. It was shot in 35mm, to be as beautiful as it could be, but then is taken down to the dimensions of the early sound era of filmmaking, which would be 1.19:1; more of a square. This move is intentional as it’s the size that was commonly used in the period with which the film is set. Doing this takes the audience deeper into director Robert Eggers’ (The Witch) lighthouse in a way that couldn’t have been achieved without that decision.

Greener Grass Movie Review

October 18, 2019 (updated October 21, 2019) Published by

This film begins with what can only be described as, one poor mother’s monumental mistake. Jill (DeBoer) offers her friend Lisa (Luebbe) her infant daughter when Lisa admires the little girl. Though surprised by the gesture, Lisa accepts and takes young Madison home.

The handing over of the child happens before the credits roll. As they roll, we zoom in on Jill’s face and land on her tense but impeccable smile as it gets more jittery from the strain it’s now under.

Zombieland: Double Tap Movie Review

October 18, 2019 (updated October 17, 2019) Published by

“Zombieland: Double Tap” is the result of a ten-year wait cycle – a sequel based on the 2009 movie “Zombieland”. The original was a clever and irreverent ‘Zom-Com’ about four very different people who band together to fight off zombies. It had elements of tension and horror, but only to further the goofy story line and give the characters good quips (example: “Nut up or Shut up”). This new movie takes the same fun and self-aware group and gives them new people to meet, new zombies to fight, and new adventures to have. Read more

The Addams Family Movie Review

October 11, 2019 (updated October 11, 2019) Published by

“The Addams Family” started out as the bizarre hand-drawn comic stylings of creator Charles Addams (in the 1930’s). It was later turned into a TV show, and then still later it became the basis of a couple of movies. So, it is only right and fitting that is now once again an animated comic movie (but it lost the ‘hand-drawn’ aspect). Read more
