I watch a lot of movies, I don't necessarily have a yearly goal but I started recording all of the movies I watched in 2023 and have wanted to post my thoughts so here they are. A few notes - My rating scale is .5-5, and my review philosophy is "how well does the movie succeed at what it is trying to do?" - Thus Pacific Rim would be rated highly, whereas Transformers would not.…
neutral · AI labelView post →My phone keeps trying to correct THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME to THE PHOENIX OCEAN SCHEME. That's a completely different movie. It's probably from the 70s. It probably stars Lee Marvin. He probably agreed to do it as a vacation.
neutral · AI labelView post →Michael Cera tells us how ‘THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME’ is different from Wes Anderson’s other movies. “This one is kind of in its own lane. There’s a sort of classical austerity to it... I don’t think [Wes] has made a movie with quite this kind of palette. It’s beautiful.”

neutral · AI labelView post →THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (2025): I like living in a world where we’re guaranteed a new Wes Anderson movie every 3-4 years. I am also charmed by a filmmaker who maintains and refines their style as they age rather than try their hand at something different. I find great comfort in Anderson’s aesthetic.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME was just lovely. Anderson can be hit or miss for me and this is one of his strongest hits. All of his film-making craft and style with a delightful blend of bone dry and slapstick humor and a surprisingly warm human core tying it all together. Loved it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I straight up loved THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME. You didn't think Wes Anderson could make a movie that's more of a diagram/diorama/map/chart/model/outline/scheme, but science found a way. Somehow even more meticulously and beautifully composed than his previous movies.

neutral · AI labelView post →I fully understand why people may have bounced off it, but THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME is another Wes Anderson movie that's using fun and games to play with deep thematic ideas (particular about the craven barons of our own time). I loved it. A quick article here: www.patreon.com/posts/130603...
positive · AI labelView post →The end credits of The Phoenician Scheme reveal that several paintings seen in the background throughout the movie were originals on loan from their respective galleries or trusts, which is the most Wes Anderson definition possible of stunting on the hoes.
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s something Hitchcockian about Wes Anderson—albeit in reverse. Hitchcock’s movies stylize violence; Anderson makes style violent. Richard Brody reviews the director’s latest film, “The Phoenician Scheme.”

positive · AI labelView post →THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME is a wonderful movie about how the Divine Judge and Author of the Universe holds a special place in His heart for night clubs, oil paintings, fatherhood, and large-scale, privately subsidized, capital-deepening infrastructure development.

Pure quirk, but oftentimes made me giggle like schoolgirl. Hilarious Michael Cera is MVP. #filmsky 📽
