Argo
Argo is one of those hard movies to analyze because a lot of things were really well done without having a significant impact, at least on me.
Looper
There are so many things I want to say about Looper I don’t even know where to start.
The thing about good movies is that you can analyze them inside and out. You can draw out narrative parallels that maybe were or were not actually intended. You can talk in circles about
Trouble with the Curve
Maybe I don’t watch enough dramas, but Trouble with the Curve feels a little like a more traditional sports movie, like from the 80s and 90s. The kind that don’t exist anymore. Maybe it’s because it has all the elements of an old school sports movie

Event Horizon| Comic Con 2012
aka the longest blog ever. But with pictures to keep you entertained as we go.
