'Moonrise Kingdom' Film Review

Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom is a beautiful interpretation of New England in the sixties. A couple in their early teens run away from their problems and live in the forest. Kara Hayward, who plays Suzy, was a great find, a diamond in the rough. She has a natural and innocent look that meshes perfectly with her. The innocence between Suzy and Sam is painfully awkward, yet you want to watch it. Wes Anderson has a very unique style of work and for this movie, it works.

'Circles' Avant-Garde Treatment

My Avant-Garde film is going to have a simple undertone. It will include extreme close-ups of  feet running, walking and jumping. Water will be a main element showcased and nature will be the core. There will be contrasting tones of warm and cool colors. I am striving to invoke deep emotion and stray away from pop culture's idea of 'a great film.'

'Like Crazy' Film Review


Directed by Drake Dormus

A romantic, simplistic film. The story is sincere and the dialogue is witty. Their conversations are effortless, yet they hold power to progress the story forward. 


The movie affects you with it's filmin and unique sense of separation from films in theatres currently. The dialogue is sincere. There is never a dull moment while the main characters, Anna and Jacob involve themselves with flirty banter. The actors are fresh and candid when delivering their lines as wel. The theme was clearly separation. It was conveyed through camera shots, putting the actors in separate frames. The pool of silence is also evident through out the film and is proven more effective than pointless noise and excessive music. The colors used convey the emotions of the characters when they fall in and out of love.
