In a way All is Lost could be considered a silent film. Just as The Artist was a silent film about talking, this is a talking film about silence. Silence from the stranded protagonist, silence from any sort of help, silence from miles of nothing but ocean; its beauty permeating the eyes, its horrors forcing them shut. It’s fascinating how the ocean’s far reaching vastness, uncontrollable power, bottomless depths, and large array of life can bring a human to become captivated by it but at the same time terrified of what it’ll do; a theme All is Lost embraces with a beautiful mixture of artistry and craft.

Thor: The Dark World (Film Review)
Thor: The Dark World has been getting a lot of mix reviews by critics and reviewers. After seeing the film I can understand where all the negativity is coming from, as the plot is convoluted and the CGI sub-par. However the film does contain strong aspects to it, such as good characters and interesting battle settings; but the best aspect about this action/adventure superhero film is…its comedy. Thor: The Dark World is a really funny movie, whether intentional or not, and was able to win my like over for the most part because of this.
