My Top Seven Favourite Wes Anderson films

 

My Top Seven Favourite Wes Anderson films.

Now, as a big fan of Wes Anderson films, which are weird but fantastic. Here is my top Seven favourite Wes Anderson films by this genius director. 

7. The Darjeeling Limited 

Now I know some people argue that this was Wes Anderson's weakest film but I really enjoy it. The film is about three brothers named Francis, Peter, and Jack, who haven't spoken to each other in a year, as they reunite on a train in India. This reunion was actually planned by Francis, who wants them to visit their mother. The brothers all go through their own personal problems, like Peter is becoming a father and he's nervous about it, Francis is recovering from a motorcycle accident, and Jack still can't get over his ex-girlfriend. The film is about these three characters bonding and being there for each other. This film had both funny and heartfelt moments. It's a good film about brothers and learning to accept change and move on from past relationships or events. 

6. The Phoenician Scheme 

Now I saw the Phenician Scheme this summer and I did enjoy it a lot like the cast was great but the film is hard to follow. Overall, I did enjoy this film a lot, and I hope Michael Cera gets an Oscar nomination. He was one of the best characters in the movie. 

5. Asteroid City 

Asteroid City is a great film, and it's about a group of people who are trapped in a small town after they encounter an alien that is covered up by the US Government. This film had some funny moments, and it's a well-written movie. It's one of Anderson's best films and I highly recommend it. 

4. Rushmore

Rushmore is one of Wes Anderson's first films, and it's a great coming-of-age story. It also launched Jason Schwartzman's career. This was also one of the funniest films I've watched as it focus on Max a 15 year old at Rushmore Academy whose not happy with being in the middle class as Rushmore is a rich school. He seeks to make a name for himself and become a successful. He befriends two of his classmates, Dad named Herman Blume, which, to be honest, is weird that he makes friends with the dad instead of the two boys in his class. Max is in love with a teacher at Rushmore named Rosemary Cross, a first-grade teacher. However, she turns him down, and he doesn't take it well. He, of course, gets expelled from Rushmore and goes to a public school where he writes his play and falls in love with a girl his own age named Margaret Yang, and she's such a great character. This film is both funny and one of Wes Anderson's best. 

3. Grand Budapest Hotel

I love the Grand Budapest Hotel; it is so well-made, and it's funny. All the editing of the film is brilliant. The film is about a hotel manager who is accused of murder since he was romanticlly invole with his an old weathly woman. It's a good murder mystery film, and it's also quite funny. This film was entertaining to watch and was shot perfectly, one of Wes's best films. 

2. Fantastic Mr. Fox 

This is one of my favourite animated films ever, like Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is such a great film. I've watched it so many times, and it's a brilliant adaptation of Roald Dahl's book. The film is about Mr. Fox, who decides to steal some chickens, cider, and goose liver from three farmers named Beans, Boggins, and Bunce. However, it backfires as the farmers want to kill him and his family. This is one of the top-rated films to watch on Disney+, and I love Fantastic Mr. Fox because it's a feel-good film, and the animation is fantastic. 

and the best Wes Anderson film is...

1. Isle of Dogs 

This is one of Wes Anderson's best films to date because it's the most heartwarming story about dogs. The film is about a boy who goes to Garbage Island to find his dogs, as all dogs have been sent there because they have a disease, and this group of kids is trying to save them. This film, as I wrote, is heartwarming and will likely make you cry because it showcases the immense love we have for dogs in general. I recommend watching this film as it is the best Wes Anderson film and the cast of this film is spot on. 

It really makes you love your dog no matter what.

That's my Top Seven Favourite Wes Anderson films

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends!

My Top Ten Best Batman Villains.

 

My Top Ten Best Batman Villains.

For Halloween I thought I do another Top Ten Best and this is based on Batman's villains. 

Here is my top ten best Batman villains.

10. Penguin 

The Penguin, to me, is that villain that's deadly, plus the Penguin show was incredible, so yeah, Penguin is one of the best Batman villains, being a fatal crime boss to a character you do feel for seeing how he was bullied a lot in any origin you've read in the comics.

Colin Farrell nailed it as Penguin.

 

9. Scarecrow

Scarecrow was a frightening villain because his fear toxin would make anyone go crazy, thinking their nightmares were real. Scarecrow was a frightening villain, but whenever Batman fought him, he learned to withstand his fear toxin. Scarecrow was a frightening villain, and even in the Arkham game, he was scary and a great main villain in Arkham Knight.

If Scarecrow appears in the DCU Gunn should give him this look. 

8. Riddler 

The Riddler did start off being goofy and funny, but in truth, in later retcons, he's actually one of the most dangerous Batman foes. He's done a lot of crazy stuff, like in Zero Year, he took over Gotham for months, and after the Batman film, this character has become one of Batman's best enemies. He also figured out that Bruce Wayne was Batman and considers that his most significant victory is having solved his own greatest riddle: who Batman is.

Paul Dano's Riddler was groundbreaking breaking free of the goofy Jim Carrey Riddler.

7. Mr. Freeze

One thing I love about Mr. Freeze is that he is a villain you feel for because he was trying to save his wife, Nora, from dying, and became a villain in the process. Mr. Freeze is one of Batman's most sympathetic villains because you feel for him, but you wish he hadn't gone down that dark path. There are many stories of Batman where Freeze reunites with Nora, and some are heartwarming, while others are bad. 

A man desperate to bring back his wife always ends sad. 

6. Two-Face

Now, Harvey Dent was initially a good guy who, like Bruce, was fighting to free Gotham from corruption, but sadly, he was scarred, and his split personality took over. Two-Face is a villain who tosses a coin and decides your fate. Harvey Dent was another tragic villain who initially wanted to help but ultimately turned down a dark path. It's also revealed that he knows Bruce Wayne is Batman, and he's always known. 

A toss of a coin.

5. Talon 

Now, Talon from the Court of Owls was a great villain because he came close to killing Batman. It's also revealed that he had killed Bruce Wayne's great-grandfather, Alan Wayne, and that's been killing Waynes for a long time to protect the Owls. Talon also tried to recruit his great-great-grandson, Dick Grayson, who we know as Nightwing, but in the end failed. Talon is one of Batman and Nightwing's most dangerous enemies, as he threatens both of them. Additionally, it is rumored that the Court of Owls will be featured as villains in the next Batman film, but it could also be Hush. 

I feel like we will see the Court of Owls either in The Batman films or DCU.

4. Ra's Al Ghul 

Ra's Al Ghul was the leader of the League of Assassins and wanted Bruce to become his heir, but he refused, even after Talia had given birth to Damian. Ra's has died many times, but he always came back from the Lazarus Pit, which restored him or rejuvenated his youth. Ra's also took down the Justice League once in the Tower of Babel series after he learned of Batman's plan to take down every member of the Justice League. He was one of Batman's most formidable enemies and a threat of Justice League level.

Ra's does have a sense of honor to him.

3. Bane 

We all know Bane broke the Bat, and Knightfall was one of the best Batman stories because Bane was never a gimp like in Batman and Robin. He's one of the smartest Batman villains and strangest. Bane's story is complicated, and the things he went through, but in the end, he became one of Batman's biggest foes and even took over Gotham three times. Bane also knows Bruce Wayne is Batman, but doesn't care at all as he wants to break the Bat. Also let's forget he killed Alfred too.  

Lol I went with Robot Chicken.

2. Hush

Hush was originally one of Bruce Wayne's childhood friends, Thomas Elliot. Still, he was showing signs that he was a little psychopath and even killed his own father, who was terrible and abused him; his mother survived. Still, she became overprotective and even cut him out of the will because he didn't like his girlfriend, and he killed her after admitting he killed her husband. Hush was one of the best new villains of Batman, and he was scary. What he does to face his mess up, like Hush, was a great villain, especially since he has a history with Bruce as they were best friends growing up.

Yeah, he did surgery on his Face to look like Bruce Wayne because his parents loved him more than him. I recommend reading Heart of Hush. 

Additionally, it is rumored that Hush will be the main villain in the next Batman film, starring Robert Pattinson, because Matt Reeves says it's a villain we haven't seen on the big screen, and he has a past with Bruce Wayne. So it's either Hush or Talon. 

 

and the number one best Batman villain is...

1. The Joker 

Yes, the Joker is the best Batman villain because let's face it, no one has made Batman's life a living hell. He has crippled and raped Barbara Gordon, he killed Jason Todd, he has murdered countless innocents, and he has done terrible things to Gotham. To the point, we always ask why Batman doesn't kill him or why Arkham doesn't give him the death penalty. Batman once explained he won't kill Joker. 

Joker is the best Batman villain because he has done more damage to Batman's life than any other villain, even after Bane killed Alfred. We also never know his true origin, unlike most Batman villains, where it's all a matter of interpretation on how you think he became the Joker. Whether you go with the Killing Joke origin or the Red Hood gang origin in Year Zero. The Joker's origin is still a mystery.

In the Absolute universe he's a monster.

Joker is, without doubt, the best Batman villain because he will always be one villain that will find a way to mess up Batman's life.

All it takes is one bad day.

So that's my Top Ten Best Batman Villains.

Let Me Know What You Think.

Happy Halloween to

My Top Seven Scariest Characters from Childhood.

 

My Top Seven Scariest Characters from Childhood.

Now growing up as a kid, we all watched characters from shows or movies that we loved, but we also had characters who scared the crap out of us when we were kids. That gave us nightmares for weeks until we got over it and got older, and are now more scared of tariffs. 

So, for this Halloween, here are my top Seven Scariest Characters from childhood. 

 I'm sure many of you will remember how scary these characters were when you were young. 

7. The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Now, the creature from the Black Lagoon, what made him scary was that he was in the water, and he came up, grabbed you, and dragged you down into the water. I've got to be honest, this scared me as a kid, and it would make anyone afraid to go swimming in a lake or on a beach because of the idea of something in the water grabbing you and dragging you down to eat you. The Gill-Man was a scary villain, and before Jaws, this character made people afraid to go swimming in the water.

That is something we all fear when going into a lake, but it wouldn't happen unless a fish or other aquatic creature swims by you. 

6. The Old Hag From Snow White

The Old Hag from Snow White was one of the scariest villains I've ever watched. I mean, the voice and the laughing were scary. I mean, the original Snow White ride had the old hag at the beginning of the ride that made tramming for kids. The old hag from Snow White was one of the villains; although she may appear friendly, she's actually evil with no remorse. So, don't speak to strangers, and if they offer a sweet, don't take it.

The Evil Queen's disguise has been truly terrifying since childhood, and let's face it, the live-action version toned down the scary hag. It's one of the reasons the film sucked, but I get that they didn't want to scare kids. 

5. Maleficent 

Maleficent is one of Disney's greatest villains, and she was scary from childhood, especially in the scene where she hypnotizes Aurora. The music background and the echo of the word "Aurora" would make anyone shake in terror. If you watch that scene in slow motion, let me tell you, it makes you shiver. Maleficent was a scary villain, and like the way she talked, and when she attacked, Maleficent was one character that scared you as a kid, but as an adult, you understand why she was pissed about not being invited. 

That is the smile of one of Disney's best villains.

4. Joker 

Now, I love the Joker, and he is one of my favourite villains in comic books. However, as a kid, I was scared of the Joker at one point. Especially when I saw more comic art of the character, I remember being scared of him. Watching Mask of Phatsam Joker was scary, as he was not a goofy villain like he was in the show, but rather more serious and menacing. In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, the scene where he grabs an old Bruce Wayne and says, "Hello, Batman," and laughs, I was scared by his laughing and what he had planned for Bruce Wayne. 

We all love Joker, but the character is the reason we are all scared of clowns now. 

3. The Crypt Keeper 

Now this character gives me nightmares for a long time, like when I watched the animated series, his laugh scared the crap out of me. I even met John Kassir; he's one of the nicest guys I've met. I told him thanks for giving me nightmares until I was nine, and he laughed and said, 'Glad to hear it. The' Crypt Keeper was the scariest character I used to watch as a kid, but hey, the episodes were fun to watch till next boys and girls. 

Even though Casper is a family-friendly film, this scene scared the crap out of me.

2. The Wicked Witch of the West 

Now, this woman scared the shit out of me, and so many others, even members of my family and friends, were frightened of this bitch. The Wicked Witch of the West was one of the most frightening characters in film. Her laugh and the scene with the crystal ball, in which she mocked Dorothy, were pure nightmare fuel. 

I mean, seriously, this is scary as hell.

Now, a fun fact. The actress who played the wicked witch, Margaret Hamilton, said that this role hurt her because so many kids were afraid, and it upset her until Fred Rogers helped her. She also got burned while filming the movie. The Wicked Witch of the West has undergone many changes. For instance, Mila Kunis played the character in Oz, and she was scary, similar to Margaret.

However, the Wicked movie portrays her as a more sympathetic character, and she's actually a good guy, always has been. Still, the Wicked Witch of the West is a nightmare fuel character from our childhood. 

and the number one scariest character from my childhood is....

1. Gollum

Gollum is one of my favourite characters in fantasy, but he scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. I even told Andy Serkis this once, and he was nice about it; he understood. But I love Gollum now. However, this character scared the shit out of me more than the Nazgul or the orcs. I was terrified that his origin would be explored in The Return of the King. Just as we see how he obtained the ring and witness his transformation, it is horrifying. 

Imagine seeing this crawl out of your bed. Smeagol's pre-transformation was more disturbing than his current look. 

One thing I always found scary about Gollum was his eyes and their creepy appearance. Even as a hobbit, he looked like a frightening guy. I remember my skin crawling when I saw Gollum getting angry and about to attack Frodo to get the ring. It made my skin crawl, and it still does to this day. However, even though Smeagol is a sympathetic character because he didn't ask to be this way, his actions and what he does make him a creepy character. It's also implied that he eats babies as well. 

Gollum is the scariest character from my childhood, but now he's one of my favourite characters because he's a great, sympathetic villain that you feel for, yet also hate for his actions.

That's why I'm excited to watch the film 'The Hunt for Gollum,' and I hope it's good.

That's My Top Seven Scariest Characters from Childhood.

Please let me know what you think and which characters you remember being afraid of as a kid. Let me know.

Happy Halloween
