Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part I: Beginnings

2012

Liked Watched

Yeah I gotta watch the rest of this trilogy. JFC, that was incredible

Castle in the Sky

1986

Liked Rewatched

I think I appreciated the tension that Miyazaki creates by describing our relationship with technology, that on the one hand, it can help manifest the impossible (like cities in the sky) or that it can annihilate us all. These characters, each with their own relationships with technology and the peace they've made with it (or their unease) is interesting to think about...

It's also incredible how deftly Miyazaki pulls us into this world and has us believe in it, using movement as his technique to draw us into the reality of his world.

Hey, hey, hey, hey-now. Don't be mean. We don't have to be mean. 'Cos : no matter where you go...there you are.

The only thing I gotta say about this film is that it's better in the theater or amongst 100 of your closest friends. It's an experience, and doesn't play the same at home. See it in a theater.

Tremors

1990

★★★★ Liked 1

I'm pretty shocked Michael Gross from Family Ties is in this and playing against type. Anyways, Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon are great fun, and lead a solid cast. Also led me down a rabbit hole about Graboids and a whole lot of Tremors lore. Good times.

Edit: incorrectly named Kevin Costner, not Kevin Bacon 😓 Ty to Derek for the catch!!
