Eagle vs Shark (2007)
It get's better with each viewing..
You can say that this film, with its ensemble of akwardly sweet characters and witty dialogue, is not your typical rom-com. Which is why this film is easily one of my favourites from this genre. Mainly the story centers around two oddball characters and their attempt of being in a relationship and basically everything that follows after one begins a relationship. Getting to know one another, each others families etc. But given the nature of our characters it does not seem to be as easy-going as it should be. With each viewing I find this film to be both entertaining and refreshing. Whether it's Jarrod's obnoxiously humorous remarks or Lily's awkwardly endearing persona, regardless the not so pleasant situations she seems to face throughout the film. Eagle vs Shark is just one of those feel good movies that doesn't take itself very seriously. Not to mention the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand that matches the great soundtrack perfectly.
Boy (2010)
A feel good/charming film I could watch again and again
I really adore this movie. I find this comedy/drama genre to be very entertaining and I quite enjoy watching it. In fact, I can easily say that this movie finely represents the genre. It is a coming of age story about a young boy living in New Zealand in the 1980's, directed by Taika Waititi. The story mainly revolves around this boy, who goes by the name Boy, and his absent criminal father whose only reason of coming back to his family is finding the buried bag of money he left behind years ago. The movie also focuses on Boy's everyday life and his relationship with his friends and family in a very unique and witty way. My favourite thing about the film is its originality and humor that the characters deliver so naturally. But even though the film has its fair share of charming and light-hearted moments, on the other hand, as the movie continues we can't help but kind of feel heart-broken and empathetic for the character. What I love about Taika is his original sense of humor and his ability to blend both humor and heart in his films. That is one of the main reasons why I really cherish him as a filmmaker. I can honestly say I'm excited for his future projects.
