A lovely portrait of an isolated and lonely girl who unwillingly finds herself in the role of Queen of France. Probably my favorite ever performance by Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola's use of colour, composition and music once again really got its hooks into me. Beautifully shot in Versailles and other European palaces with fantastic costuming all around. Dark, funny, tragic and romantic.
A beautifully shot and acted story about loneliness, isolation and friendship. I especially enjoyed the set design and solid casting. Hoping to add this to the collection if I find a 4K disc for cheap.
Going to E3 was kind of one of my big dreams as a kid. It feels silly to think that now, knowing what E3 became and what it maybe always had been.
The world has moved on, but it still feels weird that the ESA never managed to make E3 work as a fan event. Gamescom and TGS each still pull in a quarter of a million people yearly.
Thanks for the memories E3 and at least we still have Electric Showdown to dip into some nostalgia.
This was some of that good Godzilla. Great action scenes with nice nods to Japanese and international monster films. In addition to the traditional and familiar Godzilla themes, this film delves deeper into the trauma of war. Overall these themes were handled well, but there was a bit too much melodrama and underlining of obvious issues and motivations. The story was predictable but still enjoyable to sit through.
This was my 5th or 6th rewatch of Shin Godzilla and it still holds up so well. My favorite Godzilla film. Somehow the terror of Gojira is heightened when viewed through the lens of government boardrooms and procedures. The overt nods towards Neon Genesis Evangelion that Hideaki Anno makes throughout help a lot too. The only thing bringing the film down is the character of the American diplomat played by Satomi Ishihara and her absolutely atrocious English dialogue. Not only is it embarrassing to listen to, it's also genuinely hard to understand in parts.
