    A recent Waititi feature, Jojo Rabbit, may be the first of his directorial and screenwriting efforts to scoop up Oscars, but I don’t think we should allow that recognition let this one slide. Adapted from the 2008 Christine Leunens novel Caging Skies, 2019’s Jojo Rabbit tells the story of Jojo Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis) a young German boy coming...

    In the early '00s, Waititi's resumé as a director was all short films, including the short which inspired What We Do in the Shadows. And then, 2007 rolled around, marking the arrival of his directorial debut feature, Eagle vs. Shark. This unique indie stars Jemaine Clement and Loren Taylor as Jarrod and Lily, two slightly awkward twenty-something A...

    Waititi's second Thor entry is still highly enjoyable but it is an uphill battle to try and top the wild success of 2017's Thor: Ragnarok. Still, the fourth chapter in Thor's story is no less funny, and it is plain to see that this is a Taika Waititi movie. Colorful, bombastic, excessive, there is a lot going on in Thor: Love and Thunder. Love and ...

    It's not hard to see why Waititi is one of the go-to directors for Marvel (and fellow Disney-owned studio Lucasfilm) after watching Thor: Ragnarok. The third movie in the solo Thor (Chris Hemsworth) arc in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor: Ragnarok is quite unlike its predecessors, Thor and Thor: The Dark World. Thor: Ragnarok is a much more col...

    Hunt for the Wilderpeople follows Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison), a juvenile delinquent who emerges from New Zealand's foster system and is sent to live with childless couple Hec (Sam Neill) and Bella (Rima Te Wiata) out in the countryside. Ricky's adjustment to country life is a bit bumpy as a tough-talking former city-dweller, but he manages to ge...

    To rank What We Do in the Shadows any lower on this list would be a sin. Based on a 2005 short of the same name, which Waititi also co-directed with Jemaine Clement, What We Do in the Shadows follows three vampires — Viago (Waititi), Vladislav (Clement), and Deacon (Jonny Brugh) — whose lives are being filmed for a documentary. We're introduced to ...

    Waititi's second feature film, Boy, is also one of his most personal and heartfelt films. Boy was a passion project of Waititi's which had long been in the works before he tackled Eagle vs. Shark. Set in a remote village in New Zealand, Boy begins by introducing us to the titular Boy (James Rolleston), a pre-teen obsessed with Michael Jackson who i...
