I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Thanks for the memories!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Here is a quirky movie with good actors that SHOULD have been fun. Lots of fun and it made me smile until one particular scene that just RUINED it for me. It was totally unnecessary! It was like dining in a 4 star restaurant and finding a cockroach in a 200 dollar meal. I stopped watching and never saw the rest of the film. The "Cockroach" in this instance is a scene that shows a dog shot in the neck with an arrow. TOTALLY NOT NECESSARY to the story and irresponsible to boot. Shame on the writer, director and producers.
The Indy style movie has become so popular, major studios have copied it. This film has a well written script, effective sound track, excellent acting, background distractions, and of course quirky memorable characters. The film might may be best classified as a light drama, leaning toward comedy.In this 1965 tale two misfit 12 year kids conspire to run off together. Sam (Jared Gilman) is a teased orphan scout. Suzy (Kara Hayward) is the daughter of two lawyers. They live on a New England island. A search party for the two missing youths is lead by "sad dumb policeman" Captain Sharp (Bruce Willis). Captain Sharp is having an affair with the mother of Suzy (Frances McDormand). Bill Murray plays the rather straight husband.There is a scene where the two youths get close to each that made me uncomfortable for a moment. Fortunately the scene didn't last long and the film returned to its quirky self, with bits of dark comedy. While it is PG-13, I wouldn't want my 13 year old to watch it. It might give them ideas.This is Kara Haywood's first full length film. I see a great career for her.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Kara Haywood in bra/undies. Some groping.
'Moonrise Kingdom (2012)' is a tedious and tiresome affair that feels like a parody of Anderson's signature style rather than something organically evolved from it. It is a poorly-paced, pseudo-surrealist folk-tale that seems to slowly slog past its ninety-minute running-time (feeling closer to three hours) and doesn't have even remotely enough story or character development to fill that short time. It's a bit of a shame since the writer-director has such a celebrated and usually off-kilter yet enjoyable presence, but it doesn't seem like his heart was in this one or, if it was, maybe his head wasn't quite in the right place. 4/10
I've got to be honest - I just don't get the appeal of Wes Anderson's films. Quite how 'Moonrise Kingdom' and the more recent 'Grand Budapest Hotel' films are so widely popular I will never know. I would have thought that such oddball films would only appeal to a certain group of people, but it seems that the majority of viewers seem to either like or love Anderson's bizarre, random creations.'Moonrise Kingdom' is an unexplainable film. The only way I can describe it is as a weird mishmash of adventure, drama, comedy and romance with a very weird and very shallow plot. One of the main problems I have with Anderson's films is how much emphasis is placed on style and visuals. It seems like more thought goes into the camera movements in his films than the actual plot. It comes down to personal taste of course, but I'm not a fan.
