Koyaanisqatsi movie
This is the first avant garde film from Godfrey Reggio that uses a completely unique narrative based on the rythm between images and music. Or actually, it isn’t completely unique, but I believe Koyaanisqatsi was the first full feature film to be created like this and certainly the most …
Forrest Gump (1994 film)
The greatest movies are perhaps the different ones and Forrest Gump with its unique nature of storytelling, the absolutely original character and the randomness of its narrative definitely stroke me as such.
Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) has a coefficient of intelligence below the low border and a …
Simpsons Movie
When the Simpsons started on television, I thought it was the best show ever. But, over the past few years, the episodes seemed forced and less and less original.
So, when the Simpsons Movie came out, I had my doubts. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
I skipped seeing this …

Katt Williams: American Hustle: The Movie (R, 2007)
I have never seen a stand-up comedy movie as funny as this one. I was a little weirded out by the fact that it was a “movie”–and not just a consecutive stand-up routine that was filmed. This movie featured Katt Williams and other comedians. But what …
The Jungle Book movie
You know, I have seen the live action version of the movie The Jungle Book but this past weekend was the first time I’ve seen the cartoon version. After finally getting a chance to watch it (with my daughter) I have to say I liked the live version better.
