#87 – V/H/S Viral

I actually liked the first two installments in the V/H/S series but this one was just plain bad and boring.  Badly conceived, badly shot and badly edited and worst of all, it’s just plain boring, which is the last thing a horror movie should be.  If you’re looking for scares just go back and watch…

#45 – Borgman

Exquisite and demented, fun and terrifying, this is a movie that you never really comfortable with and it’s done so well.  Borgman starts unsettling and continues that feeling all throughout.  A movie that lulls and invites you inside until you realize the nightmare you’ve entered and it’s too late. Recommend? It would depend on who,…

#80 – Tusk

Strange is an understatement.  Overall I liked it, but man this movie is bonkers.  Kevin Smith continues his horror phase with a movie that ultimately tries to do too many things.  Had it focused on the tone taken through the first part of the film it really could’ve been a better movie but wow, it’s…

#77 – Aziz Ansari: Live At MSG

This felt more like a spoken word appearance than a stand up comedy special.  Smart and self aware but I’ve enjoyed his other comedy specials more and thought they were more funny.  I’m still a big fan of Aziz Ansari and really think his takes and voice are one of the best around. Recommend? I’ll…

#11 – This Is Where I Leave You

A solid movie about family and loss.  A couple unnecessary story lines and Adam Driver was really miscast but overall a good movie.  With such an impressive cast that includes Jason Bateman, Tina Fey and Corey Stoll, it’s absolutely worth seeing. Recommend? Yes, it’s a good family comedy and we don’t get a lot of…

#101 – Slow West

A quality western that is completely unlike the trailer might suggest.  The quirkiness and colorful characters are all there but any action is reserved for the finale and the story plays out slowly.  We hardly get any time to learn anything about Ben Mendelsohn’s villain or any of the characters for that matter, but the…

#97 – The November Man

A pretty standard and dull spy movie which made me long for Pierce Brosnan and his James Bond days.  Everything is subpar, from the action sequences to the dialogue to the plot.  Brosnan’s character’s actions don’t even make sense half of the time and it’s just downright boring at times. Recommend? Just watch Goldeneye.

#28 – Come Back To Me

A story that was adequate enough to keep my attention but wasn’t at all scary.  I thought the ending was pretty smart but in the end I still shook my head a few times, probably a film I wouldn’t revisit anytime soon. Recommend? I guess so…

#27 – Client 9

An excellent documentary about corruption and power.  You kind of get the impression that Spitzer really could’ve changed things and made a difference if only he didn’t get involved with the damn hookers.  Well paced and put together, a documentary I had been looking to watch for awhile and didn’t let me down. Recommend? Documentaries…

#12 – Falcon Rising

Everything about this movie is awful.  The dialogue is ludicrous and even the action is poorly shot.  Too bad to even be a low budget find I laughed out loud a few times at the acting…god, even the picture sucks. Recommend? Hell no.
