  1. These iconic images seem endowed with a sort of “livingness,” as if they have acquired special powers.
  2. The dark comedy is subtle, but hilarious. Serious topics bubble up from masterful situational humor.
  3. If you did not enjoy Iron Sky, then its sequel will not sway your opinion of the franchise. Iron Sky: The Coming Race doubles down on the ridiculous antics and significant action setpieces. The spectacle of it all is even grander than the first; just remember that the characters are not. For fans, it is precisely the follow up they have been waiting for.
  4. Miller has hinted that this may be the last adventure set in the wasteland, and if that’s true, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a powerful swan song to Furiosa, Max, and all the denizens of that blasted, delightful place.

    If you enjoy learning about the Holocaust and how dark a time it was, or you just like a good love story, then check this documentary out.
  5. Survive The Game may tell an oft-told story, but the script avoids most well-worn tropes in favor of a no-frills actioner. Said action is exciting and fun throughout, as the game cast (especially Murray and Ward) capably bring the proceedings to life.

    This isn't a story about how thousands of youths were betrayed by the institution that was supposed to protect them; this is a bruising chronicle of how one life was damaged nearly to the point of ruin.
  6. Farhadi is, of course, excellent at revealing character through people thrust into morally complicated circumstances. This is achieved here through a slow build and a masterfully nuanced set of character choices.
  7. What remains undeniable is Englert’s directorial chops. Bad Behaviour is exactly the story she wanted to tell. She couldn’t care less if you hate it or love it, refusing to pander to anyone’s expectations. Good for her. That sort of bad behavior is what makes her stand out as a filmmaker.
  8. The movie feels like a Sunday drive with your own thoughts, where you get some good thinking done, even if you don’t come to any lasting conclusions.
  9. While it seems on the surface to be a paint-by-numbers thriller, the numbers add up to something higher than usual.
  10. Warm Water Under a Red Bridge is a warm, uplifting romance. It plays out the way most Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn romances do. Seek this out if you enjoy a good, kinky, and romantic film. It simply has to be experienced.

    Easily one of the funniest comedies of the year and one you wouldn’t mind seeing again and again.
  11. Essential viewing for those who want a complete perspective on the history of film. Tons of information is packed into an hour and thirty-seven minutes and much of it I didn’t know before watching.
  12. Sr.
    As it progresses – and Smith cunningly makes it feel like the film attains a life of its own, guided not by directorial hands but by fate itself – Sr. becomes a touching ode to a formidable individual whose countercultural comedies influenced generations of filmmakers.
  13. When You Finish Saving the World offers unique insight into family dynamics in a modern society where the shallowness of a virtual world collides with real-life based on purpose and reason.
  14. Wounds is a visceral, disturbing descent into the destruction of a man that hits all of the conventional horror notes with sadistic joy taking viewers on a ride straight to hell.

    It’s not as grueling as its big brother, but if Chainsaw is a five star movie then Eaten Alive is at least worthy of four. It’s only within the context and confines of Chainsaw and director Tobe Hooper that Eaten Alive seems to fall short of anything at all. On its own the film stands heads and shoulders above many others of the horror genre.

    As the debate between digital video and film rages on, Pieces of April proves a point that many people overlook in the DV/film debate. If you have a great story, a great script and a great cast, DV will work as well as film onscreen.

    A terrific film. Loosely based on Emile Zola's novel "Therese Raquin."

    If anything, one wishes the film would have spent even more time with Peebles in his personal life.
  15. Unwelcome will work its way into your heart, one tiny stab wound at a time.
  16. Without flaw, Woodward delivers her character’s need for change with authenticity and a sense of progression.
  17. The combination of pen, ink and geopolitical strife have yet to yield anything quite like it.

    This year’s diamond in the rough, a small movie that is big in heart and promises to be big at the box office.
  18. The film also doesn't try to wrap things up nice and neat. That's not how life is and that's not how this film goes. But for those who can handle the truth, they should be prepared for a very moving experience. And Freddy Krueger references.
  19. Her beauty, independence, and stock portfolio notwithstanding, Chelsea’s tale is a timely, tragic one told with typical Soderbergh finesse, a sly, sleek merger of sex, lies and hi def video.

    The description of the actual re-claiming of the prison by the corrections officers and the national guard is told in horrifying detail, and the torture and punishment of the surviving prisoner are much worse. I dare you to watch it today and not get angry about the racial divide that existed in the 70s.
  20. Geared to please audiences of all tastes.
  21. There’s no wasted motion or extraneous dialog. The film is exactly what it should be, lean and precise. This is a masterful rendering in shades of grey of an exciting new take on horror.
