Doodlebug
Review by Paul Preston
Welcome to Today I Watched…, a series of posts documenting my new challenge – watch a movie a day for the rest of my life. Keep coming back to TheMovieGuys.net to find out what I watch each day…and get my take on it.
When I see a movie that’s a new release in theaters or for home viewing, I’ll give it a proper review in the “Reviews”, otherwise, I’ll write about it here.
March 15, 2017 – Fist Fight – catch the review of the Ice Cube/Charlie Day comedy in the REVIEWS category of TheMovieGuys.net.
March 16, 2017 – Doodlebug
Today I only had time for a short film, so I wanted to find one that was by a famous director. Doodlebug is an early short by Christopher Nolan, and it contains in its brief running time, enough Nolan-isms to see where his career was headed. The plot is simply this: a man creeps around his apartment with a shoe, longing to squash the bug that’s escaping him. Along the way, Nolan channels David Lynch even more than his future self in an odd and artistically confident early work.
