Filmcap: The week of June 12-19

This week I discuss how easy it is to make fun of terrorism, how everyone from Wes Anderson to Judd Apatow owe something to Woody Allen, and why a birth of the universe scene should be in every movie. One review in this post also marks my longest one yet. My write ups seem to be growing, but I doubt I will ever reach a point in which all of my reviews will reach the length of the one on "The Tree of Life." I could actually write more if I had the time, but I'll save that for another time because I'm sure I'll find reason to write about it again. 

(I couldn't choose just one image from "The Tree of Life" to feature at the top of this post, so I embed a one minute clip that is filled with beautiful images that all deserve to be at the top. It also serves a good mood setter for the review of the movie. Bonus points to you if you recognized that the background tile image of this blog is from "The Tree of Life")

Filmcap: The week of June 5-12

In this weeks post, I go on about how Matthew Vaughn is one of the better hack directors, how J.J. Abrams is talented but ultimately pointless, and another example of why Terrence Malick is one of the best to ever play the game (I did see "The Tree of Life" and that will be in next weeks post. Look forward to that one).

Filmcap: The week of May 15-22

I went to Sasquatch which messed up my posting schedule even more. I'll slowly get back to a more regular rhythm though. This week's post sees the end of two television seasons for two very similar comedies that I do end up comparing a bit. There is also one very good 2011 movie (from Wales) and one great American movie that will probably be one of the few poetic and beautiful movies you will see from a Texan director. Watch out for the next post, which will include my favorite movie of the year so far.
