Truant’s Film Reviews

89 Films have been rated or reviewed by Truant.

I'm Not Harry Jenson (2009): Some of the characterisations were a little ham–fisted, but all up the movie works. I liked the resolution, it made sense.
Quiz Show (1994): Really good period piece.
Decline of Western Civilization 2: The Metal Years (1988): Great interviews. After watching it I kind of want a 90s hair metal revival. Who wants to help make that happen?
Best Worst Movie (2009): Cute, lots of interesting ordinary people. Interested to watch Troll 2 now.
Dr. Strangelove (or; How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) (1963): WAY better than I was expecting. Fun and interesting.
Stoker (2013): Stunning cinematography, good pacing, I found the plot a bit... plain. Worth watching.
Hudsucker Proxy, The (1994): Witty & warm. I re–rented because I watched it in the 90s & loved it; still just as good as I remember.; DVD ~~$25~~ $18.75
Blerta - The Return Trip... (Blerta Revisited) (2001): Oddly endearing. I can see the roots of some contemporary kiwi comedy acts. Music was ace, after watching I wanted to go find Beaver's back catalogue.; DVD $40
Broadway Idiot (2013): The music sounded great, but the camera just followed around a bunch of thespians talking & rehearsing. Nice but boring.
I'm Still Here (2010): Method acting at its most mind–boggling. Prompted a folder full of voluble blog drafts about authenticity.
