Had a chance to catch-up on a bunch of movies during my CX flight to Europe. Lots of good ones and a few stinkers in the June/July lineup:
- Kids on the Slope: the movie does a pretty faithful recreation of the anime it is based on. A lighthearted movie to empty your head and enjoy some jazz, fairly complex characters and a good coming of age story
- Anon: trite and full of plot holes similar to “In Time” (same director). Like sci-fi written by a middle schooler
- I Can Speak: fairly light hearted Korean comedy turns into a serious tear jerker. Great performance and a very important message.
- Sing Street: coming of age musical. Loved the OST. Worth a watch if anything to listen to Aiden Gillen with his original Irish accent rather than murder an American accent or whatever he was supposed to be in GoT
- Isle of Dogs: Classic Wes Anderson that becomes even more whimsical / quirky when combined with Japanese twists. Have a go if your liked Fantastic Mr Fox
