Faster. Future.

I enjoy; autumn, winter, tea, coffee, diet coke, the sound of crunching leaves, a cool breeze, the ocean, hiking, big cities, art, technology, reading, harry potter, indie music/ clothing, hipster stuff, fashion, the smell of lavender, a hug when I'm sad, my dog, air conditioning, warm blankets, traveling, and looking forward to the future.
These are the things that make me up as a person.

Also, I post about a lot of things; life, things I enjoy, and things about whats going on in my life. If the above does not appeal to you then don't follow. Simple as that.

My name is James Nathan Davis, I am 18 years old and I have a lot of opinions.

Theme made by Max Davis.
SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS DIR. Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern RATING: 10/10 IMDB “I was 38 years old and I said ‘I’m gonna make a record’.” Review: A must see for any music lover, my favorite documentary, charting the last night and the next day of the band LCD Soundsystem. A beautifully rendered piece of informational and emotional cinema that gives a heart-wrenching and loveable look into the well controlled destruction of a band that millions loved.

Side Effects DIR. Steven Soderbergh Rating: 9/10 IMDB “There are side effects” Review: A tightly knit and well directed thriller, with multiple twists and turns. It’s highly reminiscent of a Sherlock Holmes type mystery or an Alfred Hitchcock type mystery, I was actually so shocked by the time the film ended that by the time the final shot started to pan back I was still too shocked to get up and leave the theatre. I actually heard some people mad about the ending of the film. The movie has a particularly infuriating ending but I found it to be satisfactory to what the story was trying to do, all of the elements brought it to that particular ending. It was an amazing end to the story where everyone wasn’t a good person, and no one really deserved what they got. The way it ended however was particularly like an episode in a Sherlock Holmes novel where a bunch of seemingly useless facts where brought together by the fact that they didn’t make sense, and if you weren’t looking for them you wouldn’t have found them. A story that starts one way and goes fourteen different others, a well shot and very well made piece of cinema.

The Sessions DIR. Ben Lewin Rating: 10/10 IMDB “ I believe in a God with a sense of humor. I would find it absolutely intolerable not to be to able blame someone for all this.” A well acted powerhouse of an emotional drama, and a snub for the Oscars. An amazingly well told true story. 

Hello I Must Be Going DIR. Todd Louiso Rating: 7/10 IMDB “*trips and falls on rocks* FUCK THIS, WHEN IS SOMETHING GONNA GO MY WAY” This film is honestly one of the funniest movies I saw on the festival circuit this year, it is also a very honest film in terms of emotions. Stripping the viewer raw while also showing them a hilarious situation. Well directed and well acted, a great original story that I will be watching again. 

Breakfast at Tiffany’s DIR. Blake Edwards Rating: 10/10 IMDB “And I always heard people in New York never get to know their neighbors. ” This is one of my all time favorite movies to watch on a rainy day. I love it to pieces. If you haven’t watched any Audrey Hepburn films, please start.

Nobody Walks DIR. Ry Russo-Young  Rating: 8/10 IMDB “Sometimes there’s a person who you know looks right. Their skin is fine, like a linen cloth, and their hair is the color of night. And they walk. And when they walk, that walk makes ladies turn to their window and admire. All the ladies in the town, with their secret things that they want. You were this man, in the town from which you came. But this - this is not your town. And when you speak, your words are snakes I swat at with swords. They crawl into parts of me, and I kill them with kindness I can’t afford. I see you with the accurate eyes of the sun. You think you’re imprinting yourself in my memory, a man with the power to teach. You will never have anything or anyone you want. Least of all, me. If I were to tell my mother and the others, we would laugh at you, louder than we have all along. ” An amazing foray into character study and emotional embodiment by writer Lena Dunham, this film brings you crazy places in it’s short run time. By the end you’ll be wondering if everyone can hold it together, or if it’s better to let it fall apart. 

Missed Connections DIR. Martin Snyder  Rating: 9/10 IMDB “We built a fire…it didn’t work out”  A hilarious and heart warming take on the break up comedy, where the man utilizes the missed connections part of Craigslist to meet up with girls and have sex with them, only to meet his foil in another girl.  A heartwarming and endearingly funny film, worth a watch from everyone. 

Antiviral DIR. Brandon Cronenberg Rating: 9/10 IMDB “It’s a weird business Syd”  Review:  This is a beautiful and wonderfully shot film. It’s gorgeous in it’s cinematography and it’s composition of shots and use of lighting. It all draws you in.  Then there’s the content of the film. The movie is set in a not too futuristic city where to feel closer to celebrities, people go to a clinic and have diseases that have run through celebrities bodies, injected into them. Stay with me. This is all the feel closer to the celebrities who are famous not for feature length films but for their beauty and ease of lifestyle, nudes are leaked in seconds, thermo cameras are used to get shots of the woman actresses underparts, as well as the gossip mill being worse than that of the high school portrayed in “Mean Girls”. All of this is not without a point however. The way the film portrays it, is as something next to buying a gossip rag at your local supermarket.  Syd March is basically a drug runner for these diseases. He injects the diseases into his body to sneak them out of the clinic, and then puts them in a machine that allows them to be sold on the black market, by replicating them. Things get complicated when he takes a disease that has been through Hannah Geist (the most popular celebrity at the moment), and he gets the news that Hannah is dying.  I won’t spoil the film but be aware that this is an intense body horror flick. If you don’t like needles, cannibalism, or are a germaphobe, do not watch this , but if you want to be afraid of those things do watch it.
