Thoughts on The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is a great movie from A24. The actors are amazing. The story is very Lovecraftian and strange. The black and white film  gives the movie an otherworldly quality. At times the film is dreamlike and tense punctuated with beautiful and bizarre visuals. I recommend this for anyone who wants a tale rife with madness and symbolism or any HP Lovecraft fans.

Thoughts on Sudsy Rides Again

Sudsy Rides Again is another Alaskan movie from the Carpenter brothers. The concept is clever and well-executed. Some of the flaws can be overlooked such as the use of day-for-night. There are beautiful drone shots of Hatcher Pass. Like their other films, the quality is good for the budget they had. It is arguably one of the more grounded movies I’ve seen from them. It’s worth checking out if you enjoy their past work or you like independent movies.

Thoughts on Onward

Onward is a great new Pixar movie. The characters are fun and believable. The story is bittersweet and relatable. The enjoyable table-top gaming references were a lot of fun. I totally recommend this movie. It will appeal to almost all ages.
