Some movies just don’t make a big impression, so here’s a quick take on what I thought.
A seething documentary about the history and practices of Scientology. Interviews with former members dominate a look into a religion that is really mystery and operates under a shroud of containment. You can make your own conclusions but the movie definitely comes from a point of view and is gripping in its findings. Recommend? As…
This movie is awful…period. You can’t even put this in the B horror category, you have to go all the way down to D or F horror. Bad acting and a story that never, ever makes sense. I know going into a movie called Hayride 2 and with such a bad poster that you get…
Admittedly I’m an Ed Burns fan, have been since The Brother McMullen, I really enjoy how he constructs intimate and realistic stories where characters are important and relate to each other in real ways. He’s had a few misses lately but I really felt that this movie was a return to form. I’m a fan…
An outstanding foreign western that really caught me by surprise and I was into it from the start. This is a beautifully shot film that come sot life with a strong lead performance by Sam Riley as a mysterious stranger with a secret. This brought me back to the Man With No Name westerns that…
This was such a special movie for me. This is the team that grew my passion for the game I love and always will. A generation of players that meant so much to me and I’ll never forget. This movie revisited so many memories for me and there’e no way I can be objective on…
I am such a big fan of post-apocalyptic films so I went in expecting to like this one, especially starring Guy Pearce. He’s all fury and there’s a sense of chaos and dread that hangs over every shot of this film. Robert Pattinson is excellent and Scoot McNairy gives another solid supporting performance. David Michod…
A smart horror/comedy that starts off strong but loses steam later in the film. The setup is well done and the characters are well established. There are a decent amount of scares and some good laughs, but with most horror comedies it struggles to find the right balance and at times seems to get in…
There’s a plot in this movie somewhere and Paul Thomas Anderson dares you to find it. But in looking for it you’ll miss the unique performances, the outstanding music and authentic feel of the film. Don’t get too wrapped up in it and just go along for the trippy ride. I haven’t seen a PTA…
Another solid entry in a series that has seriously exceeded my expectations. Mockingjay starts a little slow in catching the audience up on all of the events but falls into the rhythm that the previous films have done so well. Jennifer Lawrence is once again so strong as Katniss and I can’t wait to find…
This is such a disappointment of a horror film and even using that term seems dubious. A documentary style shot film that deals with true events and rumors and legends to set a tone that’s supposed to be eerie but really sets no tone at all. We’re supposed to be left in the dark about…
