Murder By NumbersMurder By Numbers (2002)
Perfectly cast with Pitt and Gosling with a tinge of Rebel Without a Cause, not so much a "who dunnit" but a "will they get caught" and if so, what mistake did they make?
Operation AvalancheOperation Avalanche (2016)Recommended
Not so impressively staged mock documentary... I guess I was hoping for something a bit more believable. Now we have "Alternative truth", I wanted to come away thinking "Yip, quite possible", instead I thought, "That was a bit silly"
Handsome DevilHandsome Devil (2016)
Sweet coming of age, rites of passage, I am what I am kind of stuff. Brilliant performance by Andrew Scott and some funny lines. "Heartwarming"rn
Greek PeteGreek Pete (2009)
Frank and honest look at Pete who is a sex worker in London. Part documentary, part fiction, porn without the porn, drama without the drama. Didn't really reveal much that I hadn't already assume. Next.
Star Trek: Beyond Star Trek: Beyond (2016)
3 stars (Good Enough) An action movie set in space, a few characters that must be a make–up artists dream & actors nightmare. Usual story where the lead characters survive heroically and others don't. Some great comedy lines, not surprised that it was co–written by Simon Pegg
Blu-Ray $20 $15
From Beginning to EndFrom Beginning to End (Do Começo ao Fim) (2009)
2 stars (Good Try) Beautiful cinematography, waiting for something to happen and nothing did. Couldn't help but feel the movie was trying to say something, or that we should find it shocking, which it probably would have been had it been produced 30 years ago.
Eastern BoysEastern Boys (2013)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Well executed movie exploring power dynamics, just the right amount of tension and inter–cultural unease.
PredestinationPredestination (2014)
4 stars (Very Good) Great sci–fi – a "predestination paradox", well executed and I wanted to watch it again once I knew the story.
Ex MachinaEx Machina (2015)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) A thought provoking film based on ideas not action scenes, what does it mean to be human?
Geography ClubGeography Club (2013)
4 stars (Very Good) I'm beginning to think Americans are slow learners as these high–school students look mid 20s. The lead actors are 22 and 30, and can't pass for 17. That said though, it's a sweet, enjoyable coming–out story; Glee without the music.
