The Thin White Dude's Movie Of The Month: July 2011 - The Tree Of Life


A singular vision from director Terrence Malick, The Tree Of Life goes to the greatest possible scale, and yet has great grounding in simplicity of 1950s suburbia. One of the best-looking film's I have ever seen, with some terrific cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki and special visual effects by Douglas Trumbull and Dan Glass. Finally, with some stunning performances by Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain and Hunter McCracken, this truly is a fine cinematic experience.

The Thin White Dude's Prognosis - 9.1/10

Runner-Up: Bridesmaids - Very funny and wholly endearing comedy-drama

Avoid Like The Plague: Transformers: Dark Of The Moon - Mind-numbingly dull and boring

Second-Most Deadly Disease: Bad Teacher - Not a bad film, but not a particularly good one either
