Movies

Can you even have a proper blog without a post such as this? Yeah you certainly can, but i think it adds flavor to it. There are many ways i could approach this subject, but ill go with a simple one. Name, reason why i like it and trailer.

These are some of my favorite movies, separated by genre.

Serenity:

A space western. How crazy is that? This move has a nice blend of action and comedy, and also features a cast likable anti-hero like characters. It takes some established tropes and turns them over their head, which makes for nice twists. It has some romantic elements, but doesn't let them ruin the overarching plot of the movie, which is really nice.

The Babadook:

This movie is a breath of fresh air for the horror genre. It has a nice amount of mystery, just enough to keep you guessing. It doesn't fall into the classic tropes these movies do, it has a nice amount of character development and the plot also develops at a nice pace. There is a transition midway through the movie which is delivered masterfully, and doesn't feel tacky in any way.

What if? (or the f-word):

This is a romantic comedy unlike many others. While the overarching plot is not something really new, its the way its delivered that makes it shine. The characters feel real, and easy to connect with. This is thanks in no small part to the acting from both leads. Their acting is superb. They know how to sell the joys and pains of their lives and relations.Also the comedy is born out of their interaction and jokes, and not just due to "funny" situations like usual. Last but not least the soundtrack is amazing.

The princess bride:

This movie is so freaking good. I am not sure i can even describe why it is so good, but ill give it a shot. For starters, the dialogue. The lines in this movie are so good i could write a whole post just about quotes, and maybe i will. This is one of the reasons it has a huge cult following. The movie is many things: a tale of vengeance, a romantic story, a story of treason and many more things. Even so none of these conflict with the other, and only server to enrich the movie.
