A devoted, if fallible father reunites his gang and puts it all on the line to win his daughter back. This movie manages to tap the joy and heartache of adventuring companions without all the convoluted staging and monochromatic moralizing of modern fantasy movies. Each actor shines brightly in their roles, from Hugh Grant's amoral rogue to Rege-Jean Page's holier-than-thou paladin. Go gently, for you too will wonder when Jarnathan is arriving.

A young woman leaves her mentor behind, inspired to discover her identity with a fearless drifter. If T.Chalamet and T.Russel seem like the Dionysian lust of youth, the old man of the movie, as played by Mike Rylance, seems like an Appolonian logician, cautioning our protagonist against excess from the get. Exuding vulnerability, concern and menace in equal portion, M.Rylance's soft-spoken presence is more frightening than any flesh eating that may occur in the film. A road movie, viewers are confronted with changes and scenarios that create conflict between being a frail, feeling human and being a remorseless ghoul. 👍 👍 👍 👍 I liked this play on the coming of age trope. I feel like it's thinking about lgbtq relations of abusive mentorship and the terror older people feel as their lovers outgrow them and move on in a world that sort of hates them. Who knows though! Its a great movie! Chefs kiss!

Penguin is the story of a sociopath and a psychopath who are unleashed on the wreckage of Gotham and the rudderless mob families who are in the way of their ambition. This series is less a superhero drama and more like HBO's latest and best attempt at a crime series. Farrell's turn as the titular villain began in Matt Reeve's Batman. A welcome surprise, Farrell deflected Pattinsons over- serious 'Vengeance' as a charming grotesque. Did the performance create the series, or did Matt Reeves want a story to set the tone of the second part of his Bat-Trilogy? Who knows, Farrell is damned good all around, as are a bunch of other great actors you have likely seen and heard before. It's a good show if you like the Crime genre and it only rates 4 stars because the Sopranos and the Wire and hell, Breaking Bad, are obvious 5s.

In a world where every serial killer is into Anatomy and Fine Arts crafts, a team of investigators team up with Dr. Hannibal Lecter and a profiler, Will Graham. A gussied-up CSI with lots of star power and heavily staged cadavers.

The black sheep of a family of Polish cops is forced to choose between the people he loves and the people he is related to. This is a hard-boiled cops and robbers movie with some of my fave performances from a well-tuned troupe of character actors. It may possess one of the greatest chases ever made.

A weird, filthy sci-fi film that birthed countless lesser-thans and a handful of near-as-goods. At one point comic books were trashy and any parent worth their salt would spank you for buying them with their hard-earned money. They had sexual perversion, slavery, Orientalism, genocide, sword fighting, war, dog fighting jets and literary wit, all set before exquisite illustration. Best of all, they were made out of questionable ethics and questionable intent by publishers trying to squeeze money out of a new working class. A New Hope is the shining hybrid-child of these comics and very few movies meet it on equal terms.

A tepid cat-and-mouse game of pederast/pederastee with a twist. I won't sanitize my naughty behavior I originally wrote this review front loading it with how I found out Elliot Page was a lesbian, after mentioning to a coworker that I thought she was dressed funny on Tavis Smiley and my poor response. On returning to reread it I found the rantings of a dullard, for this I apologize.

Movies are hard to make. I know that much. However, this movie is exceptional in a way I find difficult to watch, but a wonder to behold. My eyes and ears are simply overwhelmed, and I must use steely logic to piece together what I have witnessed.

A fun, flashy balm for the cerebrum. A heist film with familiar faces and new comers who are pretty huge now. Action, comedy, drama and suspense are all served up with equal aplomb.

Sublime bubblegum goth with a couple of clunker moments. Very often the idea of eternal love is poorly handled but this movie kind of makes it soar. Fans of the Alice Cooper Group are handed a special treat. Never mind the last few frames and the odd (mis)handling of Chloe Moretz near the end.
