MovieFest Movie Marathon Challenge: 24 Films, 24 Reviews, 1 Man And Just 30 Days!


Ok cinephiles... I have just spent a good couple of hours putting this list together. Here are 24 films that I have always wanted to see but never got around to experiencing. So, I thought why not set myself a little challenge, a movie marathon if you will. I'm going to give myself 30 days from today to watch and review every one of these films:

• It Happened One Night - Frank Capra
• Full Metal Jacket - Stanley Kubrick
• Apocalypse Now - Frances Ford Coppola
• Amores Perros - Inarritu
• 2001: A Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrick
• Lost Highway - David Lynch
• The Usual Suspects - Bryan Singer
• My Left Foot - Jim Sheridan
• North By Northwest - Alfred Hitchcock
• The Third Man - Carol Reed
• Dog Day Afternoon - Sidney Lumet
• The Elephant Man - David Lynch
• Spirited Away - Hayao Miyazaki
• Rushmore - Wes Anderson
• The Birds - Alfred Hitchcock
• Airplane - David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams
• Little Miss Sunshine - Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
• When Harry Met Sally - Rob Reiner
• Akira - Katsuhiro Otomo
• Raging Bull - Martin Scorsese
• Chinatown - Roman Polanski
• Do The Right Thing - Spike Lee
• Thin Red Line - Terrence Malick
• Hunger - Steve McQueen

Come on, you know there's some great flicks on that list! I bet there's not one of you that can tell me you have seen all of these?? (Is there 🤔).

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

Image
• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
