The Scribbler (I) (2014)

Another Interesting Movie That's Way Underrated

[7/10 · 5 January 2019]

There are many good movies with an IMDB rating of 7 or more that I have enjoyed watching but which I have ultimately forgotten. On the other hand there are movies that I have begun watching with low expectations because they had a poor rating but which have ultimately gone on to leave their mark behind. Years later I can still remember many of their scenes and still remember what they were all about. The Scribbler is one such movie that I watched in 2014 but which is still fresh in my mind. It is a very underrated and underappreciated movie that deserves a much better rating. The settings of the movie are dirty and repulsive and so are some of its characters. it's not an easy watch and that could be one of the reasons why it's not very popular. But if you leave your preconceptions behind (formed by the low rating) and take the movie for what it is and what it is trying to convey then you are in for a treat.

Tiny Giants 3D (2014)

Starring two tiny heroes: Mouse Damon and Chipmunk Bale!

[10/10 · 25 July 2016]

Tiny Giants 3D is a 43 minute feast for the eyes. It follows the lives of two tiny heroes: Mouse Damon and Chipmunk Bale. Mesmerizingly shot and captivatingly narrated, it's a film that is brief but burns bright. I don't know how I missed it but it looks like it flew under the radar of most people. If you have missed it too, you should see it now. You will enjoy every minute of it. Scene after incredible scene, you will wonder how they managed to shoot it and how they managed to get the cameras in there. The action in this movie is so much better than some of those multi-million dollar action movies. I found myself holding my breath in some scenes because they are so intense. And, there is a message in it for all of us: that all lives are valuable, however small they might be.
