Seen a few lately.
John Wick. Gritty sci-fi action thriller. Better than I expected.
Penny Dreadful. Lives up to its title: there's a character called 'Penny' and the movie is dreadful.
The Adventures of Captain Phurtlespoosh. Hungarian absurdism. Self-explanatory.
The Maze Runner. Surprisingly good even though the big reveal in the final act is weak.
Zombieland. Billed as a highly political post-apocalyptic black comedy. Surprisingly, it didn't have many blacks.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. If you already know the difference between a diving bell and a butterfly you probably don't need to see this.
Sushi Girl. It's about a girl with some sushi. One of those art house talkathons where everyone sits around bitching at each other across the dinner table.
The Taking of Deborah Logan. A woman called Deborah Logan is taken. So basically the title gives it all away.
The Impossible. White middle class family wants to know if it's possible to survive a South Pacific tsunami (it isn't, as the title correctly implies).
What We Do in the Shadows. Four New Zealanders explain what they do in the shadows. More interesting than it sounds.
Dat Ass! 1960s avante-garde. It's basically about an ass.
The Resurrected. A remarkably accurate rendition of H. P. Lovecraft's
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Showcases the very best of early 90s low budget special effects but the acting is solid.
Baseline. English nightclub drama. Dark and violent, like most of London.
Frailty. I can only assume this refers to the director's mental state, since the entire movie is a great big steaming pile of donkey ********.
Blood Diamond. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a filthy Boer. You can guess the rest, it's quite predictable.
Autoreiji. Brutal yakuza movie dragged straight from the steaming bowels of Japan's turgid underworld.
Basic. John Travolta in mildly credible role.
A Most Wanted Man. Movie about an individual whose company is highly sought after.
A Perfect Getaway. It isn't.
22 Bullets. I counted a lot more than that.
Assault on Wall Street. A ton of people die, but remarkably the street itself escapes unscathed.
Borgman. Dutch metaphysical surrealism. Highly watchable, particularly if you don't like the Dutch. Pierre Bokma does a good job with the little he's offered.
Exists. Young people explore a forest to find out if the mythical Sasquatch really exists. Unfortunately it does.
Enter Nowhere. Neat little movie about the most confusing stage directions ever given.
De zaak Alzheimer. Gloomy Belgian crime drama. Worth watching if you're a fan of Laurien Van den Broeck and Charley Pasteleurs.
Elizabeth. Bio-drama about an old fashioned woman called Elizabeth.
Incident at Loch Ness. Werner Hertzog ventures onto Loch Ness. There is an incident.
Lost Things. Some people lose some things. Probably best for viewers who know how frustrating it is to lose things.
Unthinkable. Highly inaccurate title; I thought of it quite easily.
Great comedy from Jackie. 8/10
