I watch movies every week and then write down my thoughts. Read my previous reviews!
My rating is simple, Watch It, It Depends, Skip it.

| The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - A fun crew makes for a great journey. |
Watch The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Written by: Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach
Directed by: Wes Anderson
Starring: Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe
Rated: R
Plot:
Determined to exact revenge on a mythological shark, Steve Zissou and his ragtag crew track the creature across the ocean.
Review:
It feels like a Wes Anderson film from the start with quirky, unique characters and oft used actors. It's hard to separate his films due to how similar they are, but this one ranks high, in part due to the action which helps pacing. Bill Murray does an excellent job. Even the characters with little screen time, are well developed.
It depends.

| Enter the Void - The void past tradition and sense. |
Watch Enter the Void
Written by: Gaspar Noe, Lucile Hadzihalilovic (with help of)
Directed by: Gaspar Noe
Starring: Nathaniel Brown, Paz de la Huerta
Rated: --
Plot:
A drug dealer's soul searches for resurrection after his body is shot and killed by the police.
Review:
I knew going in this was a strange movie. Gaspar Noe's movie are an experience, and never very pleasant. It's less a movie and more of an auditory and visual journey. The images are repetitive, though purposeful, and a unique level of graphic. The plot is far from traditional and lasts a bit too long, especially the last sequence. It is something most people will not want to see, and something those that see it, won't watch again.
Skip it.
