Noelle
Directed by: Marc Lawrence
I like the whole cast of Noelle and if I’m going to watch a Christmas movie it better be somewhat at the North Pole.
So no I’m not going to admit that I may have signed up for an entire streaming service just to see Bill Hader play a Santa in training. Nope. Not admitting that.
Doctor Sleep
Directed By: Mike Flanagan
Having not read the book I went into this movie expecting it to lean heavily on Danny Torrance and his return to the Overlook Hotel- the haunted hell hotel where the events of The Shining took place.
I was pleasantly surprised that the highlight of this movie was the war between Rose the Hat and young justice seeking Abra.
Dracula
By: Bram Stoker
Aside from over romanticized modern vampire stories my knowledge of Dracula is mostly based on the 1992 movie. Gary Oldman played Dracula. Winona and Keanu might have gotten married. Watch the movie. It’s great.
I was still a little nervous about finally picking up the novel.
The Nightingale
Directed By: Jennifer Kent
The Nightingale is about a young Irish convict in 1825 Tasmania. She’s supposed to have been freed but the British soldier she works for is not about to let that happen. After a horrible act of violence Clare chases him and two other soldiers into the wild.
In order to do that she needs a tracker and gets help from Billy, a native whose people are being systematically killed.
I’m trying not to think of the End of the Year looming or the end of the decade for that matter. But I do need to get some organization going so I thought I’d do the tag but make it a bit of a catch-all for books, films and television!
The tag was originally created on Youtube by Ariel Bissett.
The Lighthouse
Directed By: Robert Eggers
The Lighthouse stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as two lighthouse keepers who take a four-week shift on a small island far out into the ocean. They spend four weeks pretty much driving each other crazy only for a storm to impede the much needed shift changeover.
Then the real fun starts.
Admittedly I’m in a bit of a life slump this month. So I thought I’d do another Great Falls Films that are worth a watch and (in some cases any way) brighten a mood!
I mean these are all good films to watch any time of the year but there’s something about them all that scream Fall to me.
Zombieland Double Tap
Directed By: Ruben Fleischer
Watching anything about the zombie apocalypse or any really makes you think about the universal truths of life. Like I’d find a library and a stash of chocolate and wait for the end – which would come super quick for me despite the amount of zombie stuff I watch- I also realized another universal truth for me at least.
When eating popcorn one piece at least will always go down my shirt.
The Addams Family
Directed by: Conrad Vernon & Greg Tiernan
Their creepy and their kooky
their all together spooky
animating Oscar Isaac
is actually a cruelty
Directed By: Quentin Tarantino
I did watch this film in September for my Blind Spot pick so let’s just momentarily pretend I’m the least bit consistent about posting so I don’t miss another month 🙂 As we take a stroll back to World War II through the mind of Tarantino.
