"Moonrise Kingdom" review

user
From “Rushmore” director, Wes Anderson, comes a very amusing, off-beat, eccentric film about two misfit pre-tweens who just want to escape conformity and be together. Help Bill Murray, Ed Norton, Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand, and Troop 55, find Sam “Shakusky,” (played by Jared Gilman), and his girlfriend, Suzy (Kara Hayward). Shakusky, a troubled orphan, recently wrote a letter of resignation from being a part of Troop 55 and the Khaki Scouts, has escaped throu...

The Mournful Maturity Of Miranda July

user
  For 37-year-old performance artist, writer and filmmaker Miranda July, life is a series of lessons about loss, mortality and the inescapable feeling that time is slipping away. And yet, despite these heavy themes, her depiction of a kind of blank and ironic human comedy has been the hallmark of her style. This maddeningly passivity has clearly connected with some and infuriates others. Well, both these camps will have much to react to as July’s sophomore film effort THE FUTURE starts it...
