Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you have found this entry. Today I'm checking out the flick Moonrise Kingdom. This is a Wes Anderson flick that stars Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward and Bruce Willis. I found it because of this site which gives some of the top flicks on Netflix. I'll be honest up front, knowing it is a Wes Anderson flick I'm not sure I'll like it, I am not a fan of most of his stuff but lets see. At IMDB as of 7/3 it has a 7.8 rating. "A pair of young lovers flee their New England town, which causes a local search party to fan out to find them."
- I like the 93 minute running time of this flick
- I am not a fan of the cast thus far
- Uggg, this is very art house like most of his flicks...I'm not sure this was the correct flick for me to pick
- Uggg, I am not enjoying this at all. Now I remember why I dislike Wes Anderson flicks....the dialog is painful
- WTF? Weapons?
- Thus far calling this a comedy is a stretch, boring is the word I'd use
- Seriously does Anderson right his dialog in bullets thinking that the actors will ad-lib but they don't. Just doing soundbites
- When does the comedy start?
- Didn't Sam say he wasn't a strong swimmer? But he jumped into the ocean?
- Is the tent going to get washed out to sea?
- Beach dance party! YEAH!
- This is extremely awkward, like uncomfortable awkward
- It is only half over? Really?
- I ask again...when does the comedy come in?
- This is painful in my opinion...very painful
- Is this the longest 93 minutes in film history?
- Worst CGI fire EVER!
I don't get it, I don't. I don't understand Wes Anderson flicks. How is that listed as a comedy is beyond me. I give it a 5/10. The acting was well done and the filming and what not was well done. I just didn't find it entertaining or anything.
I don't want to rant and rave here because it is what it is. I know a lot of people like Wes Anderson so that is good but I didn't find it entertaining at all. Boring is what I call it.
Until next time...abyssinia!
