"You're not a Nazi, Jojo. You're a 10-year-old kid who likes dressing up in a funny uniform and wants to be part of a club." - Elsa Welcome back, everyone. As I promised back in my “Best of 2019” List, we’re here today to talk about Jojo Rabbit, my favorite film of last year. After picking up the blu-ray last Tuesday and giving this movie a well-deserved rewatch, I’m finally prepared to sing its praises ad nauseum. If that sounds like a worthwhile way to spend the next 10 minutes of your life, stick around.

"Don't you dare cross . . . this stick." - Sam Shakusky Welcome back, everyone. Continuing the winter slog and my film backlog (nice rhyme!), today we’re looking at Moonrise Kingdom - the 2012 coming-of-age adventure from acclaimed cinematic hipster, Wes Anderson.
I imagine you’re probably wondering what this is about.
Well, as it turns out, barring Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen (which I recently reviewed), the first few months of 2020 releases are more barren than a frozen North Dakota countryside on a bright winter day. But unfortunately, I’m in the midst of what one of my professors has dubbed the “winter doldrums.” As such, I’ve been desperate for something - just about anything - to pass the time with. And no, day drinking is not a viable alternative; I’ve tried. So given my urge to write reviews and the lack of new movies to write about, we’ll probably spend some time these next few weeks revisiting some classics and catching up on my watchlist backlog. Or at least, we will until engineering gets insanely busy and I’m forced to put EFR aside for three months. But don’t you worry your pretty little head with that. Anyways, that’s just a long preamble to justify why in the hell we’re talking about the micro-budget Irish film Once today. Let’s go. |
