It's Thursday which means it's time for another episode of
Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly
series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
This week's theme is... Post-Apocalyptic World. Although I am not the biggest fan of this topic, it wasn't hard to find three titles, three great films for the record. Here they are:
The Rover (2014)
David Michôd's second feature, this Australian drama follows a cold-blooded drifter pursuing the men who stole his only possession, his car. Raw, slow and violent, the film captures the audience's attention till the end thanks to its two leads strong performances: a strong one from Guy Pearce, and a surprisingly excellent one from Robert Pattinson.
Snowpiercer (2013)
In a future where a climate-change experiment has killed all life of planet, the world's "lucky" survivors are on a train hurtling around the globe where a class system emerges. Very smart, thrilling and entertaining, it is the proof that a sci-fi film can also be reflective. It also had a terrific and barely recognizable Tilda Swinton. And Chris Evans to feast your eyes on, just in case the ugly post-apocalyptic scenario isn't your cup of tea.
WALL·E (2008)
This cinematic gem follows the story of WALL·E, a garbage collecting robot left on Earth to clean up the mess made by mankind. After hundreds of lonely years, he will discover a new purpose in life when he meets a search robot named EVE. The film will conquer children's heart with the cute characters and funny gags, and will make the adult think with his bitter social commentary about environmentalism, obesity and commercialism.
