#7 – Nebraska

A black and white family comedy that hits home for me seeing how my whole family is from the state and I have such vivid memories of being there and growing up.  This movie boasts standout performances, one after another.  Bruce Dern and June Squibb really steal this film but Will Forte holds it all…

#31 – The Town That Dreaded Sundown

A solid horror movie that plays with the original film in such a unique and creative way.  Part slasher film, part homage, part investigation, this movie really kept me interested though the ending left a little to be desired.  Probably a more enjoyable experience if you’re able to watch the original 1976 version first and…

#83 – Enemy

Well I liked this movie..I can’t really tell you exactly what happened, but I liked it. I need to watch it again and watch it much more carefully and anyone who wants to give it a shot I’d love to see what you think.  Another fantastic by Jake Gyllenhaal whose choice of roles and strong…

#68 – The ABC’s Of Death

Anthology movies are a little hard to review but this one was pretty easy.  26 short horror films and most aren’t worth your time. A few standouts but most were either too short to really make an impact or strange for the sake of being strange.  There’s an ABC’s Of Death 2 but after this…

#13 – In A World

Lake Bell fronts a well written comedy about the world of voice overs.  There’s so much to like here, just overall a solid picture.  Ken Marino continues to be one of the best kept comedy secrets in Hollywood and everyone benefits from a tightly written script. Recommend? Absolutely, a good choice for a comedy movie…

#85 – Rich Hill

Beautifully shot and even more so, beautifully scored.  I was drawn into this documentary about rural poverty from minute one.  A complex look at the repercussions of bad parenting, mental illness and unemployment that affect the families involved but more importantly the children that grow up inside of them.  A story that should be seen…

#62 – The Machine

This one was recommended to me by Netflix and I was told I would really like it.  Sadly, I thought it was pretty average.  There are some interesting concepts and a few good visuals but there’s nothing here that really stood out or impressed me to the point that I’d want to go back for…

#106 – Preservation

A well done horror film that is a good entry into the genre.  I really loved the leads and how things are slowly revealed about their relationships and problems.  As things start to go wrong and we see how they are starting to play out, we’re introduced slowly to the menacing, masked hunters and there’s…

#107 – The Quiet Ones

A movie that straddles that line between horror and drama and doesn’t really do it all that well.  I’m always excited to see Jared Harris in a film and Sam Claflin impressed me in The Hunger Games sequels, they’re both good here as well as the other supporting actors but the story is just flat…

#108 – The Captive

Everything about this movie is overdone.  Everything is overacted with the usually always good Kevin Durand the biggest culprit.  The score is overused and everything is so depressing.  Several story lines are introduced in the beginning and by the end I couldn’t really care about most of them.  Ryan Reynolds tries to hold this movie…
