    House of Anderson - 205 - Asteroid City
    Nov 14 2024
    Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City offers a visually stunning, quirky escape, yet feels like it’s missing some of the emotional depth that has grounded his previous work. Set in a stylized, 1950s desert town, the film presents an eccentric ensemble of characters, with performances that range from deadpan to delightfully absurd. Anderson’s signature color palette and meticulous framing are in full force, lending each shot a painterly quality that fans of his aesthetic will adore.

  • House of Cosmatos - 199 - Tombstone

    House of Cosmatos - 199 - Tombstone
    Oct 3 2024
    Tombstone (1993) is a Western classic that delivers unforgettable performances and thrilling action while diving deep into themes of loyalty, justice, and brotherhood. Kurt Russell commands the screen as Wyatt Earp, but it’s Val Kilmer’s portrayal of Doc Holliday that truly steals the show, blending wit, charm, and tragedy in one of the most iconic roles in cinema history. With its intense gunfights, memorable dialogue, and beautifully captured landscapes, Tombstone is more than just a genre film—it’s a riveting, emotional journey that stands the test of time.

  • House of Cosmatos - 198 - Leviathan

    House of Cosmatos - 198 - Leviathan
    Sep 27 2024
    Leviathan is a mixed bag. It has moments of tension and some striking visuals, but ultimately, it lacks the originality or depth to elevate it to the level of classic sci-fi horror. It’s worth a watch for fans of the genre, especially those who enjoy creature features but don’t expect it to offer much beyond a familiar—if entertaining—ride through well-worn territory.
