I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.

    Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

    ★★★★★

    My Hero, inspiration and favorite director.
    I am obsessed with David Lynch and all of his work since I saw Mulholland drive on the big screen in 2001.
    I am blessed I have seen all of his movies (besides Dune)  on the big screen

    Twin peaks the series  is a morality booster for me, a place I were I love to escape to. 
    Fire walk with me is the dark, scary impactful nightmare that I need to visit on a…

    For me personally, The 25th Hour is the perfect movie.
    It includes all the elements that make a film truly special:

    Me and Orson Welles

    ★★

    Maybe not fair for me to rate Me and Orson Wells a pretty unknown Linklater movie.
    But it’s a type of movie not made for me.

    Not a big fan of Orson Wells, not a fan of theatre play movies so overall a though time to get through this movie made for a very limit audience. 
    Zac Efron is nice in his first post Disney kids movie period. Strong and risky catch from director Richard Linklater.

  • Fast Food Nation

    Fast Food Nation

    ★★½

    It took me three days to get through this.

    Fast Food Nation provides a critical look at the dark sides of the fast food industry in the 2000s.

    The film focuses on corporate greed, profits over ethics, meatpacking, food safety, working conditions, and immigrant labor.

    While it covers many important topics, none are explored deeply enough to leave a lasting impact. One of the final slaughterhouse scenes was particularly unsettling and arguably the most impactful moment in Richard Linklater’s Fast Food Nation.

    An interesting topic, but the execution could have been stronger.

    Thank you Australia 
    This is how you do a giant spider movie
    Fun and well directed, nice to watch from the start and with the right length
    This is a very cool movie in a sub genre that normally delivers crap.
    Sting is an exception

    This Happy Madison movie is bad movie....but I liked it. Be aware of what you can expect and don’t take it too serious..
    This will probably be another major Netflix hit movie
