Trailer: Seeking a Friend at the End of the World - June 22

Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria. Starring Steve Carell, Keira Knightley, T.J. Miller, Melanie Lynskey, Amy Schumer, Adam Brody, Gillian Jacobs, Rob Corddry, Rob Huebel, Connie Britton, and Patton Oswalt.

Despite the fact that Keira Knightley is playing the manic-pixie-dream-girliest manic pixie dream girl to ever grace the silver screen, and Steve Carell is playing the same hopeless shlub he’s portrayed in countless past films, this has some promise. The jokes are funny, the ensemble casting is smart, and the concept is just the right amount of crazy. The trailer hits its beats with surprising accuracy, for example as I thought to myself, “why aren’t people looting,” there was looting. The opening is beautifully calculated and understated. This could be quite good.

I posted about this movie a while back but I just now finally got to see it. Tiny Furniture is this awesome coming of age movie that follows a girl fresh off of college and trying to figure out what the hell she should do with her life. She is constantly tortured by her selfish famous artist of a mother, her child genius younger sister, her party obsessed new old best friend and a youtube star that she digs. It’s hilarious and quirky and just plain clever.

At first glance, Last Train Home is a movie about what is touted as the greatest human migration on earth, the annual homecoming of Chinese migrant workers for Chinese New Year’s. But upon closer inspection, this documentary actually is a gripping family drama about the effects of having absentee parents (and believe me, I know how that feels). It follows the story of a married couple who work seven days a week in a jeans factory in one of the country’s inhospitable industrial cities while their children live with their grandmother several hundred miles away in an impoverished village. The beauty of this documentary is that it starts off with the subjects being very polite and courteous to one another in the presence of a film crew but as the months past, the tensions between the couple and their rebellious eldest daughter come boiling to the surface. This is a must see.

So my best friend decided to start talking about this one movie called Submarine directed by good ole’ Richard Ayoade and then my other best friend seconded the recommendation. I should listen to friends more often. This movie is awesome. I’ve already stated I have a thing for coming of age movies but couple that with the quirkiness and adorable accents of this movie and it’s a great recipe for a truly satisfying film.

“When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I stayed in my room and listened to Abba songs all day; Since I’ve moved here, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. Because my life is as good as an Abba song now, it’s as good as ‘Dancing Queen’”. Muriel’s Queen, is one of those awesomely quirky types of coming of ages movies that I just consume gleefully.
