Week 15: Alice In Wonderland (2010)

I've been a fan of Tim Burton's for a long time. I still remember being amused by Beetlejuice, seeing something in it that I see in all of his films. Tim Burton, to me, is a successful filmmaker because he uses his imagination to show us things that don't exist. He, more than any other filmmaker, pu...

Week 14: Gates of Heaven (1978)

As I have stated before, I am a fan of documentaries. One of the perks of living in this information age is the fact that we now get to see history as it unfolds. A good documentary both informs and entertains, and the subject stays with us a long time after viewing. I heard about this film from Ebe...

Week 13: Seconds (1966)

Seconds is a film that takes place in the same universe that the classic Twilight Zone used to inhabit. Being a huge Twilight Zone fan, I saw this as a good thing!

Week 12: Cloverfield (2008)

As a kid, I remember a movie program on the local independent station called "The World Beyond' that carried all the B-Monster movies from the 50s and 60s. I enjoyed seeing Godzilla wreak havoc on poor Tokyo, and then later seeing him act almost like a protector of the humans against other monsters....

Week 11: The Kid Stays In The Picture (2002)

I've always been a fan of documentaries. I love when filmmakers use their cameras and talent to document reality and show us things that we might not normally see. The Kid Stays In The Picture caught my eye. The film is the story of Paramount movie studio head/producer Robert Evans, as told in his o...

Week 10: Breathless (1960)

Having viewed my first Jean-Luc Goddard film a few weeks ago, I was eager to tackle another one as soon as possible. I learn more from these French New Wave movies than from any textbook. This time around, I decided to start with Breathless, Goddard's debut film.

Week 9: Black Cloud (2004)

Being born and raised in Arizona means that I am pretty familiar with Native American culture. There's a lot of pride that goes along with it, as well as misunderstanding and even tragedy. A few years ago the film 'Black Cloud' came out, and the director, Rick Schroder, came to the high school I wor...

Week 8: Stir Crazy (1980)

When I was a kid, it was a great time to be a movie fan due to one reason- the proliferation of means to access films at home. This meant that you could now see movies you may have missed in the theatres on your television! I saw a lot of movies- except for the rated 'R' ones. Stir Crazy was one of...

Week 7: 2 Or 3 Things I Know About Her (1967)

Over the past few years, I've been intrigued by the French New Wave movement. One director whose work I haven't seen yet is Jean-Luc Goddard. I'm a sucker for a good title, and this caught my eye. Some basic research told me that it's the story of a Parisian housewife who turns to prostitution to su...

Week 6: The Room (2003)

My goal in doing this '52 Movies in 52 Weeks' is to try and see some classics, both vintage and comtemporary, in order to expand my knowledge of film as well as to simply see some great movies. This film, sadly, isn't one of those.
