It Chapter Two (2019)

September 20, 2019September 18, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Andy Muschietti It Chapter Two is a strange, long mess of a horror movie that is nevertheless at times effective and affecting.  It tells the back end of the story begun in It (2017), with the Losers Club more than a little grown up.  Where they were just children in the first film, with … Continue reading It Chapter Two (2019)

Take Shelter (2011)

July 10, 2019July 5, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Jeff Nichols Jeff Nichols' Take Shelter is a story about anxiety and marriage.  He wrote the story in 2008, a year into his marriage and during the financial recession of that time.  Those expected worries pervade every moment of this film, a story about a man convinced there's a storm of biblical proportions on … Continue reading Take Shelter (2011)

Directed by Susanna White Woman Walks Ahead has good intentions, but it tries to push upon us a story we've seen before.  The specifics of Catherine Weldon's (Jessica Chastain) journey out west to paint a portrait of a Native American Chief (Michael Greyeyes) might be unique, but the movie boils it all down into the … Continue reading Woman Walks Ahead (2018)

Interstellar (2014)

September 7, 2018September 5, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Christopher Nolan Rewatching Interstellar I forgot how strange and clunky the world and exposition of act 1 was.  Earth in this not so distant future is unsuitable for life.  There are dust storms milling about, schools deny the moon landing, and the New York Yankees play in front of crowds less than a thousand. … Continue reading Interstellar (2014)
