Brawl In Cell Block 99 (2017)

After an initial story arc, things get pretty dark, violent, and depressing quickly. On the list of things I fear, going to prison rates high on that list. This movie didn’t help.

Bone Tomahawk (2015)

I’m hard pressed to think of a more gruesome scene than the one inside that cave. Unpleasant. Unexpected as well, seeing as the build up to the nastiness was quite slow. Definitely an odd western, if you can call it that.

A Serious Man (2009)

Fantastic job depicting 1967 as well as daily Jewish life. Quite compelling despite there not being a riveting plot. Uncertain as to the point of the film. The ending didn't do me any favors either. I need a bit more resolution to walk away from this amicably.

The Pick-up Artist (1987)

I was forced to rent a VHS so I could see this one. Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey Jr. star in this romantic comedy about a professional player who uses one liners to pick up as many chicks as he can. That is, until he meets *the one* As far as 80's movies go, it wasn't bad. However, the 80's clothing was exceptionally bad.
