Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
Tumblr media
While working at the video rental store, Moonrise Kingdom was recommended to me by a regular. Whenever I saw Mike, he asked me "Have you viewed it yet?". My answer was always "No". This went on for years and I promised him I'd get to it eventually. One day, I was given a notice that the store would be closing. The owner was retiring, had sold the business to new entrepreneurs and they wouldn't be keeping my location open. My last shift was coming up so I finally got around to watching Moonrise Kingdom. I finally got to experience this funny, quirky, charming, completely unpredictable, and wholly original coming-of-age story. I was excited to share my thoughts with the meek little mustached man who seemed ever hopeful whenever he saw me… but he never showed up on that day! Maybe, somehow, this message will get to him and I'll be able to let him know how foolish I was to wait so long.
Set on New Penzance, an island of New England in 1965, the film begins when 12-year-old scout Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman) runs away from Camp Ivanhoe, leaving behind a resignation letter to his leader, Scoutmaster Randy Ward (Edward Norton). As police captain Duffy Sharp (Bruce Willis) initiates a mad search, it's discovered the boy has run away to live in the wild with fellow runaway and pen pal Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward).
This film is a paradox. It’s simultaneously set in this world that seems off thanks to its larger-than-life characters and zany developments… but somehow feels absolutely real. It’s almost like a manifestation of a childhood memory. Maybe that’s why it works so well. It’s far-fetched but somehow… not. We know the people in this film. At some point or another, we've crossed paths. It's just that they've never all been together like this before, which throws you off initially. Once you get over that initial shock, you fall in love with them despite - or maybe because - of their flaws and the way that they can sometimes be mean to each other. In its own way, the film contains a full spectrum of emotions. Sometimes acidic, then very sweet and romantic, then funny or fanciful before switching into a mode that’s mature and reflective.
Moonrise Kingdom has such universal appeal it's easy to be enchanted by the story and gloss over the terrific visuals, performances, and score/soundtrack. So much is done with color, the framing/cinematography, and songs. You could watch this Wes Anderson project a dozen times and always notice something new. Every shot is interesting, even something as mundane as a map showing a journey is made dynamic. For this reason, I can’t decide if the film is inspirational or discouraging. Seeing a director achieving this level of artistry is almost intimidating. Scratch that. It is inspirational. Movies aren’t made by just one person, it’s a cumulative effort by artists and storytellers, actors, and technicians. Nobody has to do everything, you just have to be able to do SOMETHING and if there are this many people that are THIS talented out there, then it’s not an unattainable goal, it’s a reality.
Moonrise Kingdom is a masterpiece of filmmaking. It’s so warm, insightful, and hopeful you're forced to pause and reflect. I can’t believe it took me this long to make time for this one. Mike. If you're out there, I'm sorry. I feel like a jerk for taking this long to see Moonrise Kingdom. Hopefully, sharing my appreciation for it at least partially makes up for my grave mistake. (On Blu-ray, January 30, 2016)

My 💔 bleeds for them. -🦋 Love is frequently defined as "a quality or feeling of strong or constant affection", "an unconditional with no limits" or "when you trust the other with your life". -🦋 Love made us do things that we never imagine doing and we tend to sacrifice everything even losing everything. _🦋 Love never fails. 🌈 _🦋 #outinthedark #2012film #michaelaloni #nicholasjacob #romancedrama #greatstoryline #lgbt #blmovie I do not own anything. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yXEWzDx4D/?igshid=14xo9bxy2zsbf

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)
Tumblr media
It's ok if you enjoy 2006's Silent Hill, but don’t tell me it’s a good movie. The plot makes no sense, the acting is lousy, and it’s obvious the main objective was to crowbar as many monsters and references to the game into a 2-hour running time... but it's a masterpiece compared to Silent Hill: Revelation.
Set 9 years (ish) after the first film, Sharon Da Silva (Adelaide Clemens) and her adoptive father Christopher (Sean Bean) are on the run from a cult obsessed with the town of Silent Hill. When her father is kidnapped by the Order of Valtiel (led by Carrie-Anne Moss as Claudia Wolf), Sharon and her new best friend, Vincent (Kit Harington), head for the creepy town to save him.
This film’s got nothing going on. That brief synopsis tells you everything you need to know about this story, save the ending. It’s as razor-thin as the knives held by those creepy, faceless nurses. Revelation has all of the problems of the first picture on top of its own bucket of issues. The twists in this story are so easy to predict, so obvious you’ll feel like a genius, proudly exclaiming out loud “that’s a bad guy!”, “that guy’s not as creepy as he looks!” and so on the instant someone walks on-screen. You'll only be surprised by how unconvincing the line deliveries are, and how nutty the plot gets.
Tumblr media
The picture begins on the wrong foot by attempting to be an actual sequel. While Silent Hill foreshadowed a part 2 with a would-be spooky ending, this picture has to jump through so many hoops to make it work it’s ridiculous. Apparently, the same town that housed Christabella and all of her followers also hosts another new cult whose objectives and beliefs are completely different from the other one - and they all escaped Alessa's wrath to go into the real world. Why didn’t anyone mention that Christabella and Deborah had another sister and a father stuck in an insane asylum? How did we miss the creepy carnival and mannequin factory? Why is Pyramid Head suddenly protecting people instead of killing them?
Tumblr media
In a good movie, characters’ actions follow a logical sequence. The consequences of those actions generate new situations for them to react to. There are hardly any characters in Silent Hill: Revelation; only excuses to have a body count. This film is not clever enough to have real scares or atmosphere. Out of desperation, writer/director Michael J. Bassett throws a bunch of gory deaths at the screen… too bad none are impressive. Not helping are the monsters in this follow-up, which are lame.
Silent Hill: Revelation is everything a bad horror movie can be and everything a bad video game-based movie can be at once. A deluge of references crammed throughout might distract the fans from the unholy performances and wretched story but only if all they want is to play "Silent Hill Bingo". As a horror movie, it fails to generate even a single scare or moment of tension. The characters are so stupid you feel like you’re watching someone move through a world where the biggest consequence is a “Game Over” screen. The only improvement over the 2006 film is the running time: about a half-hour shorter. When the end credits begin rolling, you’ll be screaming out loud “Was that it?!” Technically, it isn’t. Stick around for the very end of the credits.
Silent Hill: Revelation is the kind of film you want to look away from. Not because of the horrific sights - actually, the visuals are quite good - not because it reminds you of anything chilling, but because it generates such second-hand embarrassment for actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Sean Bean, and Malcolm McDowell that watching them becomes unbearable. (2D version on Blu-ray, October 21, 2016)

The Tower (2012)
Tumblr media
If you’re looking for a movie set around Christmas time that takes place in a skyscraper and isn't focussed on presents, reindeer, Santa, or any of the other holiday business… then Die Hard is what you're looking for. If you want something else - maybe less action and more Towering Inferno - then check out The Tower.
In Yeouido, Seoul stands the luxurious Tower Sky, twin 120-story building complexes filled with every luxury. On Christmas Eve, a helicopter crashes into the Riverview Tower, igniting a blaze that threatens everyone inside. The plot follows various characters, from firefighters combatting the inferno to guests and the building’s staff as they desperately try to escape or rescue those trapped inside.
The Tower is a well-made disaster film that checks all the boxes. It clocks in at just over 2 hours (with the end credits) which means there’s enough time to introduce at least a dozen characters and tell you all about them. There’s Lee Dae-ho (Kim Sang-kyung), the building complex’s manager, and his young daughter Ha-na (Jo Min-ah). He’s in love with the restaurant’s manager, Seo Yoon-hee (Son Ye-jin). There’s another love story with cook Young-chul (Jeon Bae-soo) and Min-jung (Lee Joo-ha), the building’s receptionist. We also meet the firefighters on the scene. Among many, there's rookie Lee Seon-woo (Do Ji-han), the fire station’s chief (Ahn Sung-ki) who’s been told he should go home but refuses as long as there’s work to do. You've seen several of these stories before and can easily figure out where they’re going to end. The Chief, for example. Fresher characters would’ve been a bonus but you’re not really here for them, you’re here for the roles they play in this story. There’s a myriad of dangers that can be found as the flames rise, the floors collapse, and the air becomes thick with smoke. People have to break out of windows to escape the heat, once outside they have to find a new way to get back in, they have to come up with plans to make it out alive and then revise these plans when a new obstacle is discovered. Is the best strategy to go up, or down? What about that bridge linking the two buildings? A road to salvation, or a death trap?
The Tower is at its best when it finds creative ways to up the stakes. Sometimes it’s a bit ham fisted, like when the mayor insists certain high-profile guests be prioritized over others. Most of the time, it’s by introducing deadlines for everyone to escape, revealing a weakness in the structure that didn’t need to be brought up previously, or it’s a couple who gets re-introduced just when we thought everyone was in the clear. None of it is revolutionary but in terms of delivering what you want to see, it succeeds. In terms of spectacle, it certainly offers plenty of top-notch special effects and architectural carnage, along with feel-good moments as the brave firefighters give it their all.
There are Christmas romantic comedies, horror movies, action movies, dramas, fantasy films… but what about disaster flicks? You want all of the genres covered so there’s room in your Holiday library for The Tower. While it never reinvents the wheel, the picture offers what you’ve come to expect, and does it well.
