Grim stuff. Despite a few chuckles, there’s nothing to endear the viewer to this film. Rating: D+
Why are Chinese action films always so silly? Weak acting, implausible fight choreography, and convoluted storylines make it impossible to be invested in the characters. Everything is sacrificed at the altar of overlong fight sequences. Rating: D
A depressing Danish tale with generally confusing and unlikable characters. Rating: D
Any fan of Saturday Night Live will enjoy this documentary about the man behind the show. It’s not that Lorne’s life is that fascinating, but SNL and Lorne’s interaction with it, is. Rating: C
I like a good town under siege movie as much as the next guy. Normal had some potential, even with the weird Yakuza angle. The barely there plot and characters made it hard to emotionally invest, and so the carnage didn’t carry much weight when bodies hit the floor. Rating: C-
Gave this one a second viewing in case I wasn’t able to fully appreciate it back in the day. To be fair, I think I did like it more this time. Certainly one of the Cohen Brothers weirdest, and that’s saying something. More about the characters than a compelling story, and there are some strange ones. Rating: C+
Local octopus helps mend a cleaning lady’s heart. Lots of feels. Happy ending. Rating: C+
Literally an endless stream of commercials and clips stitched together to create some kind of mystery. It didn’t work for me. Waste of time.Rating: F
Once you get past the CGI sheep, it’s a cute film that focuses on community and a mystery. Made me miss Babe Pig In The City.Rating: C
