Author Topic: Moonrise Kigndom Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 06-10-2012 10:31 AM                     Greetings: Saw "Midnight Kingdom" at the Cinearts at Santana Road, a quasi art house in San Jose, CA. This is an offbeat love story between a 12 year old girl and a 13 year old boy. All done in good taste. The comedy in the film is mild, but consistant throughout the entire film. A good movie for those who want something off the beaten path.

Anyway - I too got to see it, at our sister theatre Camera 7 in Campbell. Sweet movie, with that patented dry humour that Wes Anderson stamps on all his films, as well as great cinematography. Definitely worth watching if your a fan of his other films.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 06-14-2012 02:09 PM                     seeing a movie which was shot in 16mm and watching a crappy 35mm print of it in the theater gave it a 'nostalgic' feel to it. Oh and I thought it was great!  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

Me: "You too." NO idea why I said that. It's not like HE'S going to the show. The trailers started out with some promo for a ballet. Why do male ballet performers stick cucumbers in their pants? Is it for balance? THE PLOT: Pen pals go camping. Wackiness ensues. Wes Anderson has a flair for imagery and dialogue, but this one is almost more cartoonish than "Fantastic Mr Fox". There's loads of interesting characters, as you might expect with a name cast this expansive, but none of them are explored much save for the two kids. And yet it was still pretty freaking great.  |  IP: Logged
