#36 – Coherence

Coherence plays out like a puzzle.  I had a lot of fun trying to keep up with the trippy premise and attempting to connect the dots.  Solid acting helps the story along and I thought it was paced really well.  I’d definitely go back a second time and maybe see if clues are given to…

#78 – The Two Faces Of January

An alright crime thriller that does a decent job of keeping the story unpredictable while allowing the actors to play off of each other.  The movie gets better as it goes along and wraps up nicely.  It’s worth a viewing to see Oscar Isaac and Viggo Mortensen who continue to work at a stellar level.…

#71 – The Conspiracy

I’m usually not a big mockumentary fan but I liked this movie.  The subject is really interesting despite very little believability and it was put together really well. Recommend? Sure.

#82 – Space Station 76

Ever wanted to see a movie set in the 1970’s on a space station with thinly written characters and a story where absolutely nothing happens?  Well if so then this is your movie, enjoy it. Recommend? No way.

#49 – The Theory Of Everything

A good movie that is singlehandedly elevated by Eddie Redmayne’s performance.  Both the story and Felicity Jones do solid work here but it’s Redmayne who is simply captivating and deserves any accolades that come his way.  A brilliant performance about a brilliant man who continued to pursue his life’s work even though his body betrayed…

#79 – Before I Go To Sleep

The first 2/3 of this movie are so booooooooring!  The final act picks up the stakes and there’s actually finally something happening but by that time my investment in the characters and the story had already left.  A fine performance by Nicole Kidman but in a movie so boring it gets lost. Recommend? I wouldn’t…

#17 – Automata

From the story to the acting to the scenery, everything is just so dull.  The robots themselves and some of the CGI is interesting enough but everything else just is boring.  There are darks and lights and pretty much nothing in between…oh and the acting.  Antonio Banderas is alright but Dylan McDermott and Melanie Griffith don’t…

#76 – The Scribbler

A movie that tries to be too smart for it’s own good.  Overly dark and overly acted, there are so many unnecessary characters and plot lines that by the end you know there’s no way to wrap anything up logically so, we’ll just go with the illogical and some cool effects. Recommend? Don’t even waste…

#47 – The Judge

I was surprised by how much I liked this movie.  It looked somewhat uninteresting from the trailers but Robert Downey Jr. put in a really good performance and Robert Duvall once again shows just how much skill he can bring to any role.  The acting raises a pretty standard script to a higher level but…
