The Frontier, 2015
A fun little thriller with some terrific performances. The setting was definitely the 1970s but the tone felt more like mid 1990s to me. Like all of the post-Pulp Fiction crime thrillers that flooded the Blockbuster Video shelves.
Man vs. Snake, 2015
A nice companion piece to the much more enjoyable King of Kong. It’s always great to see Billy Mitchell slinking around.
Arrival, 2016
It’s been a week since I went to watch this movie and I can’t stop thinking about it. I love how Villeneuve never dumbs down his movies. I’m very excited to see what he can do with Blade Runner.
Gremlins, 1984
I probably haven’t watched this beginning to end since I was a kid in 1984. Such a fun movie. They just don’t make kids movies like this anymore and that’s a real shame.
Suicide Squad, 2016
The plot was total trash, but I still really enjoyed the characters. Leto’s Joker was pretty creepy. Harley Quinn was great. The biggest surprise to me was how good Jai Courtney was as Captain Boomerang.
Mockingbird, 2014
One of the better looking found footage movies I have seen. The events that happen in the movie really fall apart when you know how it ends.
The Monster, 2016
A great looking movie with 2 solid lead performances. They also score major points with me because they used practical effects to create the monster on screen.
Author: The JT LeRoy Story, 2016
Fascinating look behind the curtain of the biggest literary hoax of recent history. Laura Albert is a real piece of work. It was amazing to hear all the recorded phone calls but part of me feels terrible for all the people duped by her especially for Asia Argento.
Don’t Breathe, 2016
A tense and fun ride. There’s a point where it goes way over the line and I couldn’t stop laughing.
The Purge: Election Year, 2016
I do love these movies. I’d still stay part 2 is the best but this one had some fun action and visuals.
In a Valley of Violence, 2016
Another solid movie from Ti West I found it refreshing how John Travolta just wasn’t your typical mustache twirling bad guy. He was trying to do the right thing. And Jumpy the dog rules!
