IT’S A WONDERFUL NIGHT FOR NOLAN!!!! NOLAN MOVIES!!!! ••• For the sake of being different, I’m not going to give the win to Ledger’s Joker. Instead, I want to highlight Anne Hathaway’s performance as Catwoman because it’s legitimately one of the most exciting performances in any superhero film. This is an inspired casting choice inContinue reading “NOLAN AWARDS”

NOLAN RANKINGS: PART 2
Here we go, now we get to the fun stuff! ••• I know guys, The Dark Knight is objectively better than Batman Begins, but as a pure Batman movie, Begins is the best! I appreciate how Nolan balances the grounded realism with the fantastical elements of the character while never favoring one over the other.Continue reading “NOLAN RANKINGS: PART 2”
NOLAN RANKINGS: PART 1
Well, brahs, we’ve made it to the end of a journey filled with dead wives, well-dressed protagonists, and a lot of bats. An exciting journey it was, but now it’s time to say goodbye to Nolan as we rank his films from worst to best, so let’s not stand on ceremony. Let’s rank some Nolan!Continue reading “NOLAN RANKINGS: PART 1”
Tenet:
My head hurts. REPPED: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Nolan handle action any better than he does in Tenet. When it’s not trying to be overtly complicated, Tenet works as an absolutely thrilling action film with some of the best set pieces in Nolan’s career. Once again, Nolan’s collaboration with cinematographer Hoyte van HoytemaContinue reading “Tenet:”
Dunkirk
I’ve never related to a character more than when he had the urgent need to poop in the midst of heightened stress. REPPED: Nolan replaces the high concepts and expository dialogue for a more stripped down and visceral experience. Dunkirk has a lot in common with a sirloin steak; they’re lean, mean, and satiating. WithContinue reading “Dunkirk”
Interstellar: An Odyssey Through Space and Time
Haven’t felt this close to a Nolan film in quite some time. REPPED: The cinematography takes Nolan in an entirely new direction! Nolan and Pfister may have broken up, but that’s ok because Interstellar is the beginning of a new relationship between Christopher Nolan and Hoyte van Hoytema. It still looks like a Nolan film,Continue reading “Interstellar: An Odyssey Through Space and Time”
The Dark Knight Rises: Nolan’s Laziest Movie
The true sequel to Batman Begins. REPPED: It was always going to be an uphill battle to deliver a performance that was on par with Ledger’s Joker, but Hardy manages to do quite well for himself. I first took notice of Hardy during Inception and even though he was a supporting member, there was somethingContinue reading “The Dark Knight Rises: Nolan’s Laziest Movie”
INCEPTION: DREAM HEIST
A.D.I.D.A.S.: All Day I Dream About Saito REPPED: Another memorable Pfister/Nolan collab! The cinematography in Inception has Nolan going fully unhinged and the things he manages to capture onscreen are absolutely mental. Compared to most modern blockbusters, there hasn’t been anything quite like Inception in terms of visual style. It’s a terrific display of grandioseContinue reading “INCEPTION: DREAM HEIST”
The Dark Knight: Nolan’s Breakout
Nolan gives us another character super good at his job, this time, it just happens to be the villain. REPPED: Calm down, literates, now’s not the time for Ledger praise. That comes later! Instead, I wanted to highlight Wally Pfister’s brilliant cinematography. Wally Pfister and Christopher Nolan are the power couple of the film world;Continue reading “The Dark Knight: Nolan’s Breakout”
The Prestige: No Happy Endings Here
My girlfriend thought that Drunk Jackman was a different actor. REPPED: A bit of hyperbole here, but Borden is undoubtedly Bale’s best performance. Bale’s reputation as a method actor is well-documented and while he’s never been a bad actor, the method acting usually seems to overshadow the actual performances he gives. With The Prestige, however,Continue reading “The Prestige: No Happy Endings Here”
