Visioneers (2008)

 

You'll probably feel as bored and suicidal as the characters themselves by the time you're halfway through this film. Reminds me of Brazil, that so-called classic that everyone loves but I hated. Perhaps I'm missing the point again, or maybe it's just a poorly constructed film. 

Rating: F+

The Motorcycle Diaries (Diarios de Motocicleta) (2004)

 

A Che road trip story. I liked the scenery, culture, and diversity throughout the movie.

Rating: C+

Savages (2012)

An Oliver Stone film along the lines his U-Turn, with as much violence as his Natural Born Killers. It’s a drug cartel story told from the perspective of some indie pot growers. There was much more to the story than I anticipated going in. I don’t know how accurate the portrayals were, but it’s an entertaining piece of cinema nonetheless.

Rating: B-

Poseidon (2006)

An ok disaster movie, albeit a little heavy on the CGI side.

Rating: C
