Water Lilies, 2007 - ★★★★

On the occasion of watching my last (to date) Sciamma feature, I will applaud the way she frames humans against larger elements. There’s a scene in here where two characters are walking near some sort of large sculpture or something and it just perfectly captures how small their problems are against the world. Which, really, […]
Dawn of the Dead, 1978 - ★★★★½

Savage and self-aware, from the racist cop in the tenement opener to Peter Washington (Ken Foree) repeatedly explaining that it’s the zombies who are mindlessly drawn to the mall “because it was an important place to them.” He’s correct, he just won’t turn that clear insight onto himself.

One, Two, Three, 1961 - ★★★★½

Seven Days in May, 1964 - ★★★★

I swear Aaron Sorkin has spent his entire career trying to make this movie. He’s not Rod Serling, though, and he’s sure not as capable a director as Frankenheimer. This is close to as good as it gets for classical liberal spirit.(Seriously, though… President Lyman? Probably the West Wing character’s name is just a coincidence.)This […]
