The Salesman
Great 66 Points 2016

The Salesman validates my love of movies by bringing to the screen a slice-of-life at once prosaic and yet theatrical, and insanely thrilling. It’s also familiar to a Western audience, though set in Iran. Yeah, it’s an Iranian movie, making it utterly fascinating to Westerners like me who are i…

The Sacrament
Very Good 5 Points 2013

Zombies. Ghosts. Vampires. Natural Disasters. Aliens. Bumps in the night. Demons. Grotesquerie. Clowns. Enclosures. What do they have in common? All tropes of horror that define fear in many ways to people. Everyone seemingly has that THING that freaks them out like no other; that SOM

The Riot Club
OK 17 Points 2014

Someone had to do it… make a movie about a formal British partying club. Yes, we all know that the British perfected the ‘boys club’ institution, but ‘The Riot Club’ takes this notion down to the level of Frat House and actually much worse. This is a club that is dedicated to debauchery at al…

The Revenant
Really Great 17 Points 2015

Gritty, dirty, muddy, bloody, cold, miserable… just some of the words you can use to describe trapper life in the 1800’s. Leonardo DeCaprio does a stellar job representing the will to survive surrounded by a standout cast of Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Will Poulter. You’ll definitely ge…

The Raven
Good 25 Points 2012

Chasing a copycat killer who has decided to mimic the gruesomeness of Poe stories isn’t a bad plot. Especially if you are old school, it was engaging to get a taste of the famous Poe stories; most notably “The Pit and the Pendulum”, “Tell Tale Heart”, “The Masque of the Red Death”,…

The Raid 2
Good 66 Points 2014

Life is cheap in Jakarta. Guys get killed. Girls get, well, you know, treated disrespectfully in The Raid 2. The fun – this being a hell of a fun movie – comes from seeing how the guys get knocked off, as it’s often spectacularly inventive and/or a complete gross-out, with a body count that …

The Quiet
Great 5 Points 2005

Disturbing and difficult to stomach as it gazes upon the flawed inner workings of a family dynamic (read: incest, pill-popping and murder), Jamie Babbit’s disturbing “The Quiet” shall understandably divide audiences, but should be seen anyway. Artistically filmed and hauntingly told, the film loo…
