So Ford will be 80 years old by the time this is released? Please Disney, just cancel this already.

No.

Wait, is this Rogue One all over again?

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Rest in peace

There are currently five confirmed cases in my city. Been trying to stay at home as much as possible these past few weeks. Hope everyone else is staying safe during this time!

Interstellar (2014) I still like it a lot. Above average sci-fi film elevated by its score and visuals, with some great performances. It has ambition and some neat ideas, even if some aren’t quite as developed as they could’ve been. **** out of ***** Isle of Dogs (2018) Still great! It’s one of those movies that improves upon rewatches; there’s so much artistry in every frame and the humor is so wonderfully droll, it’s hard not to notice something new every time I revisit this film. Very playful, unique score by Desplat, really adds to the film’s tone and personality. **** and 1/2 out of *****

Akira, by Geinoh Yamashirogumi 4 and 1/2 out of 5

Happy birthday!

Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) An engrossing and haunting fantasy/war film from Guillermo del Toro. There’s a lot to appreciate here; I really loved the visuals and especially the creature effects; del Toro is a master of striking and imaginative imagery, and it really shows here. Fine performances all around; I really liked Ivana Baquero as the heroine Ophelia, and Sergi Lopez was excellent as the truly despicable Captain Vidal. Overall I enjoyed it a lot, and there are many scenes that will stick with me for some time. Definitely worth a watch! 4 and 1/2 stars out of 5

I'm really not sure why they're bringing back the classic logo for this one? In retrospect, it will look strange alongside the previous two movies' logos, especially in a boxset.

Rest in peace
