Movie Review: To The Wonder

A harrowing look at the formation and eventual crumbling of a relationship.

Told by Terrence Malick as a sort of visual poetry, this is a beautifully shot film that is in no way an orthodox romance or drama. Then again none of Malick's films are truly straightforward affairs.

As with most of his recent films, movement is key. These characters are always moving throughout the frame and to match that, the camera constantly moves as well.

To The Wonder may not be his best film but it is certainly a good one. It's great that Malick is making films at such a pace these days and not taking 20 year breaks between films.

An "art-house" romance film from a man with an eye for the little things.

Movie Review: The Wolf of Wall Street

The absolute best film of 2013. A darkly comedic, downward spiral of a hot shot stock broker shown in graphic detail from start to finish.

Scorsese knocks it out of the park with his best film in years and his best collaboration with DiCaprio to date. The screenplay is sprawling and all encompassing but never falters.

Fantastic performances all around from Jonah Hill showing some great range to DiCaprio in his career best role, this film really has it all.

Wolf of Wall Street is three hours long but you'd never know it. Thanks to Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker's deft hand in the editing room this feels like a brisk hour and 45 minutes at the most.

I can't stop thinking about this film and I doubt I'll be able to stop for quite a while.
