Allow me to pick my jaw up off the floor. It’s hard to explain Mad Max: Fury Road because I can’t remember an experience like it. It’s an action masterpiece that pummels you from the start and allows you moments of levity that hit so much harder because of how seldom they come. I’m a…
One of the most original and unique documentaries I can remember, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard’s 20,000 Days On Earth is a chronicle of Nick Cave’s life and career told through his own words and those around him. There’s a narrative feel to this movie that marks Cave’s 20,000th day on earth and appearances by Kylie…
An exciting and interesting science fiction movie that has so much style and mood expertly set. What is set up as a road trip movie quickly turns and we’re treated to a seriously good science fiction movie that always seems to be one step ahead. The rules are never really that clearly defined which can…
I am such a big fan of these Korean and Japanese revenge films and this one is something special. Outstanding acting from the two leads that really bring a fierceness and also a humanity to the film. Min-sik Choi has been a favorite of mine since I first experienced Oldboy and Byung-hun Lee has quietly…
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. I did a rewatch of this, so it’s kind of cheating, but it’s just so good. A movie that starts out simply as a tribute to a friend and a love letter to a child who will never know his father. What unfolds is such a unique…
Originality can be such an inspiring thing and when you see it, it’s so exciting. Blue Ruin is one of the most original stories I’ve seen in recent years and knowing nothing going in really made it an even more enriching experience. My advice to you is to stop reading and just go watch it…
This movie is so infuriating. Basically a rehash of any zany bachelor/wedding movie. You know you’re going to have problems when you basically loathe every major character. There’s a best man speech that starts off funny and then quickly gets distasteful and then painfully goes on much too long. Kris Marshall I really like but…
A surprisingly effective horror film that really uses the found footage aspect to it’s advantage for once. The Houses October Built looks at the scare house culture while also weaving an interesting story to follow. As a group of friends get together to cross the country looking for the best haunted house attractions they’re also…
Tommy Lee Jones has quietly carved out a very nice directorial career for himself and continues that with a very good and very understated movie. A tale of frontier life and the hardships that befell those living on the edges of society. Hilary Swank really has a chance to shine here as a woman tasked…
A movie that so effortlessly blends a romantic drama with an alien invasion…yeah, exactly. There’s one useless storyline about the main character’s life before all of this starts that never really came together for me but everything else works effectively. The two leads, played by Richard J. Danum and Gillian McGregor, start their relationship and…
