Happy 2nd birthday to my blog!
As of April 2014 I have doing this blog for two years. There’s been some awesome movies of all sizes. This includes franchise flicks (Skyfall), foreign movies (The Intouchables), indy films (The Grand Budapest Hotel), and documentaries (The Act of Killing, Searching for Sugarman). There have also been duds and disappointments like Ironman 3.
Looking back here are my favorite film related events in the past two years.
Found
It’s an indy horror film that truly understands how to use shock value. Enough said.
The announcement of A new Star Wars trilogy.
Ok this one’s both sides of the coin. Side 1 the three horrid films that I don’t like to acknowledge were ever made. Side 2 expanding on three incredible movies and hiring talent like J.J. Abrams is a step in the right direction.
Espionage films
Some great spy thrillers over the last two years have been incredible. Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Skyfall to name some and how this genre has crossed with others. For example crossing espionage films with superhero movies being Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Seth McFarlene as Oscar Host.
He was an unusual and bold choice to host the Oscars and it paid off brilliantly. Yes some of his material out of context can be offensive but back in context it show a lot of confidence to bring William Shatner in to make fun of you.
Skyfall
Anyone surprised that a James Bond movie made the top of the list? Not only is it the best 007 flick of the Craig era but one of the best in the entire franchise.
