Celibacy is not worth it, it leads to gruesome deaths.
-
A small portal is open into an alternate universe, but we are only allowed to peek at it from afar. Not even worth for those who read the books, I would wager.
-
Middle class black family man is living his life, when the father is lured into lucrative work and gets kidnapped and sold into slavery for 12 years. Even though it’s based on a 200 years old book, it’s still as powerful as ever.
-
Bog standard “creep invades home of middle class person” horror film. Very modern since the main character rents a bargain home for a “mere” $4k.
-
The Japanese music is damn eerie. It falls straight in the middle of the uncanny valley, it’s both familiar and a little strange. Works very well to make whole environment more contradictory.
-
Kids falling down: The Movie of the Book. Eat you heart out, Labyrinth and The Princess Bride.
-
A oddly mainstream Spike Lee joint, but still seeped in his particular style. Gripping from start to finish.
-
Snowpiercer for kids, as someone put it. I think it muddles its political points too much to warrant such comparisons, but it’s apt.
-
Baby’s first Woody Allen film. A lite romp consisting of guessing the actor behind the voice. It’s quite easy.
-
Starts of as a Cellular retread, complete with LAPD copaganda, and slowly inches toward Hostel, thankfully stopping well before that.
-
Cinema veritè, in 1930’s Alentejo. Structured like a revenge plot, mostly against metaphoric leeches represented by literal landowners.
-
Good Old Testament scumbag God massacres His creation for the lulz. Humans must decide to stop being submissive or go mad from their actions.
-
Not worth it to break my Iñarritu self-imposed ban(it’s not clear on the marketing he’s directing). Not even Naomi Watts can rescue this.
-
Jim Carrey is a Tony Curtis dead ringer. Incredible.
