5. 2001: A Space Odyssey 2001: A Space Odyssey is a film that speaks to you like you’re a human being instead of speaking to you like you’re a customer. It’s more thought-provoking than entertaining, though I would say that it is still entertaining, in its own way. The film spans hundreds of millennia, fromContinue reading “10 Films to See Before You Face the Cold Void of Death and Cease to Exist and Everyone Forgets You [Part 2]”

High Movie Review #006: Cinderella
Cinderelly, Cinderelly, something something Cinderelly. That song really gets stuck in my head, and now, perhaps it might be stuck in yours. The power of words at work. So Cinderella’s parents are dead. Because of that, she lives with her stepmother, an absolute BITCH named Lady Tremaine and her two daughters who are annoying asContinue reading “High Movie Review #006: Cinderella”
High Movie Review #005: Bambi
I love deer. I think they are among the most majestic creatures on this effing planet! Bambi is about the passing of time, getting older. From the day we are born, moments pass. We struggle to walk, to talk, we learn new words. We meet new people, we make friends, and sometimes those friends findContinue reading “High Movie Review #005: Bambi”
Why You Should Watch Metropolis
I read an article recently, which inspired me to write this “essay.” It’s not really an essay, though. It’s too informal. I don’t follow those BULLSHIT rules that English teachers forced upon us. I write how I want! LIKE A STREAM OF THOUGHTS, as if I was TALKING. HOW’S THAT FOR AN ATTENTION-GETTER? The articleContinue reading “Why You Should Watch Metropolis”
High Movie Review #004: Dumbo
Dumbo starts with a bunch of storks bringing down baby animals to a bunch of circus animals. All at once. There’s like a huge army of storks delivering babies to everyone. Imagine growing up and everyone has the same birthday. The insanity! Anyway, one of the babies is an elephant with big ears. Then theseContinue reading “High Movie Review #004: Dumbo”
High Movie Review #003: Fantasia
Fantasia was released in 1940. It’s not really like any other movie [except Fantasia 2000]. But like, for sixty years, there was no other movie like this. It’s like a concert of sound, of sight, and of imagination. It’s pleasure for the ears, the eyes, and the mind. It starts with the Toccata and FugueContinue reading “High Movie Review #003: Fantasia”
High Movie Review #002: Pinocchio
Pinocchio! I love this movie! I’ve always loved this movie so I may be viewing through a biased, nostalgia lens. But is that so bad? Is it so bad to have nostalgia? I like and remember that thing, and that makes me happy and sad at the same time. Isn’t that what nostalgia is? MustContinue reading “High Movie Review #002: Pinocchio”
High Movie Review #001: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937, is the first Disney animated feature. It is often said to be the first full-length animated movie, but I would just like to mention The Adventures of Prince Achmed. It’s a full-length film that uses a different kind of animation, but animation nonetheless, and it wasContinue reading “High Movie Review #001: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”
