The Incident
After finally seeing the film recently, I’m actually kind of glad I didn’t stick to my itinerary. That’s not to saying the film isn’t worth watching, I’m recommending the film for sure, but it isn’t a must see by...

[REC]3: Genesis
I’ve really enjoyed the series since they started a few years ago. The first film was a nice little breath of fresh air in the disgustingly smelly cesspool of the modern day Horror genre. The second film, while...

Lockout

ATM
If I’m not watching a movie about stoners, hippies and/or it’s not directed by Michael bay, I don’t expect characters in a movie to be dumb. I absolutely hate it when characters that are seemingly bright and logical do...

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
Never have I written so many notes for a film where so little happens than with Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. Mainly because I was struck over and over on how well shot the film is and how...

Oslo, August 31st
Oslo, August 31st is magnificent. A film that succeeds on many levels. It is brilliantly made by its director Joachim Trier and brilliantly acted by his actors. I honestly don't know if I can even find anything wrong with...

The Samaritan
The Samaritan is something of an enigma to me. I honestly wasn’t expecting too much from the film as the previews really didn’t intrigue me too much. The film starts out with some promise and along with the casting...

Lucky Girl
Let me start off by saying, Jazz really isn’t my thing. I have nothing against it in the slightest. I have actually enjoyed Jazz when I’ve listened to it. It’s just that, I’ve never really gotten into the genre....

Headhunters
