Lamb (2021) Review: "Don't interefere with how María and I live our lives"

{This review contains spoilers]   In the debut film directed by Icelandic director Valdimar Jóhannsson shows a farmer couple cope with the loss of their child by taking in a half lamb/half human baby that one of their sheep give birth to. It is just as bizarre as it sounds, but it does not take long for one to find the strange hybrid quite adorable. We watch the baby (known as Ada) grow, fit into human clothes and dance around a television set seemingly more man than animal. However, there is always a dark presence felt in the background by main character María played by Noomi Rapace (who may be familiar to sci-fi horror enthusiasts as the lead in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012)). She did take away Ada from her birth mother after all. A chilling tale about the lack of nature and its role in the couple’s lack of acceptance unfolds. With only three speaking characters, the movie does wonders with letting one learn each person inside and out. Alongside María is her husband Ingvar (H...

5 Movies that Studios Need to Ignore When Rebooting the 90’s

The Big Lebowski (1998) The Dude’s life is ripe for exploration. What was the dude like in high school?   How did he come to meet Walter and Donny? Do the Dude and Walter get into any more zany adventures after the movie? With today’s obsession with prequels and spin off’s studios must be itching to cash in on that Lebowski nostalgia. The fact that The Big Lebowski is a standalone film is what makes it so great. One does not need to know the background of the characters in the movie because they fill in the blanks themselves. The comedy falls into place with the script and how well Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and others play their parts. The Dude is an enigma, lets keep it that way. The Truman Show (1998) Arguably Jim Carrey’s best role to date saw him portray Truman Burbank, a man who has lived his entire life in a television studio. Truman’s whole world has been fabricated to be a TV show where everyone but him is in on the act. His best friend, his co-workers, and even his wi...

Enemy (2013) Review: “The first time it was a tragedy, the second time it was a farce”

  {Non-Spoiler Review} Trying to understand Enemy (2013) is a process that brings forth with it just enough challenge when the curtain draws. The movie does not point out its twist to the viewer, it instead gives them just enough clues to make a conclusion after dwelling on the scenes that unfolded in front of their eyes. It is this that makes Enemy a slowly creeping phycological movie that does not overbear its viewer with any jump scares. Instead, it opts to draw and keep their minds next to a mild-mannered professor who stumbled into a haunting situation. Join Adam as he starts to leave his repetitive life for a little excitement in finding out just exactly who that movie extra is in the film he just rented. And why does he look exactly like him.   Jake Gyllenhaal proves himself once more as one of the 2000’s best actors with a dual role where even when his characters look and sound the same, they act entirely different. The difference in posture, confidence and slight...
