"Movies are magickal. They can transport you to another place & time, evoke a whole range of emotions and even inspire change. Sometimes they're just good for a laugh, which is, in & of itself, a glorious piece of magick, especially when shared with a friend..."
I wrote that last year for a post called 10 Movie Rentals For A Kickass Summer Film Fest At Home, and I stand by every pick on that list.
I love movies! Movies & books! Books & movies! Movies made out of books! It's all magick to me...
And- seeing as the Summer of 2014 is fast coming to a close, I was feeling like revisiting that list and adding a few awesome Must-Sees. So- here they are, highly recommended by yours truly..
1. The Way Way Back : A bitter-sweet coming of age story that will definitely pull on your heart-strings and may make you hate Steve Carrell. (Remember- it's pretend, people! He's just acting...)
2. A Walk On The Moon : Diane Lane and Viggo Mortenson have the hottest, steamiest, dreamiest affair ever ever ever! Seriously. Bowchicabowow...
3. Moonrise Kingdom : Wonderfully quirky. Sweet. Wistful. Nostalgic. All good things.
BONUS POINTS: If Jon Favreau's Chef is still playing in your area, I strongly urge you to make a date of it! It'd also be great for mature kids, especially boys who are fast on their way to becoming young men. This movie is so refreshing, a much-needed respite from the season's loud, in-your-face blockbusters...
And- for more summer-themed movie ideas, be sure to check out the original list here...
Oh I just love Moonrise Kingdom and am going to definitely watch the other two films you've suggested!
