Movies I watched in June 2019 (25 movies items)" Date: 6/9/2019 Viewed: DVD (Red Box Rental) First viewing Note: I'm not a Wes Anderson fan at all and I feel very indifferent toward the majority of his films. I decided to check out this movie after good things about it for over a year now. I love the stop motion and the art direction is fantastic. The dogs were quite enjoyable, but I didn't care for any of the human characters at all. They were flat and the main villain felt like another typical evil political villain in my opinion. I als"

Phoenix Feather's Movie Diary 2019
“The artisanal process of stop-motion feels like a natural medium for a director as fussily detailed and idiosyncratic as Wes Anderson. His handcrafted forays into the medium have produced two distinct films that both provide a melancholic, winsome experience. He manages to, as Chuck Jones once described the entire process of animation, provide the illusion of life in his frames. There’s a pleasingly tactile quality to every decision in Isle of Dogs. From the clouds that look like cotton balls pulled apart, to the explosions that appear like felt being shredded, to the matted dog fur that’s never quite consistent due to the animator’s hands moving it around, Isle of Dogs feels like a world in miniature infused with living dolls. Anderson’s penchant for symmetrical compositions ” read more

Movies the giraffe watched in 2019: January (25 movies items)"First viewing - Jan. 21st Isle of Dogs was purely my daughter's choice, as she found it while browsing through the options we have on hand. As is well documented I'm not a big fan of Wes Anderson, and honestly after the million times (give or take) I had to sit through the trailers for it I had zero interest by the time it was released. And so to my surprise I wound up kinda digging it. It's a decent story, well-told and entertaining. I think it could be improved if the entire cast was Japanese"
Favorites Diary (2018) (13 movies items)" This movie was so good I'm actually kind of pissed off at it. It's not that it was the most mind-blowing story, but it often feels like not enough creators are really using animation to its full potential. Isle of Dogs is the kind of movie I wish there where more of and it's frustrating that it's so unique. The art teacher side of me wants to grab everyone by the shoulders and yell, "Come on people!! Get creative!! Look what Wes made, he's got it." It's beautifully imaginative, colorful and "
