August 2013 Film Round-up

I stopped reviewing every film I watch towards the end of July and have gone from 30+ to (last month) four reviews a month. While I haven't really missed writing about the movies I've seen, I wanted to make sure I at least wrote something about every single one so that I could keep some sort of fluidity in my blog. So here are my very brief opinions of the films I've seen since I stopped reviewing everything.



July

Rebel Without a Cause

James Dean can’t play a teen. Great acting, interesting, super cool. 8/10



Maniac

Better than the average slasher. Interesting. Far too grizzly for me. 5/10



Double Indemnity

Quintessential Noir. Beautifully made, gripping. 8/10



Frances Ha

A cross between French New Wave and Woody Allen. Annoying at first but I warmed to it. It made me want to live the BoHo life. 7/10



August

Wild Strawberries

Entertaining, funny, charming and sweet. Fantastic story. Original road movie. Better rear projection than Hitchcock ever managed. 8/10
