Kid West (2017)
Fun and great writing
This movie was actually very engaging. On a whim, I picked up the dvd at a local store. Wow, first of all my daughter, about the same age as the main character, loved it! The story was really engaging, the plot twists works in nicely with the clever story, pure entertainment, true to solid storytelling. The themes are very relevant for our time. Being Native, it struck home. Though it would be great to see more movies where we are represented as the main characters, but this movie fleshes out everyone. Our family has been a little stuck in finding new material, this was a nice find!
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
The big budget art movie we didn't deserve
Years from now, when our kids take a film history class, they will inevitably come across Blade Runner 2049. Then be asked to discuss, how could a movie this good fail at the box office? The movie's worldwide gross was a modest 260 million, on a big time Hollywood budget.
Villaneueve's vision for the film is shockingly good. The ensemble of everything from to story, to set, to effects, score, and everything else is spot on.
Ford and Gosling are fantastic.
Yes, the movie is quite long and the metaphors are far reaching. If you haven't seen this gem then make time for it.
However, make sure you see Blade Runner first.
I thank the universe for this movie!
