Split (2016)

Legitimately creepy. Hailing back to Night's work on The Village. James McAvoy does some fantastic acting work with his multiple personalities.

Rating: B+

Spotlight (2015)

A lot of heavy hitters show up in this Oscar-bait docu-drama. They do a solid job of turning investigative journalism into a compelling story. It’s mind boggling how anyone could stand in the way of this story getting told without everyone around them pointing a finger and saying—hey, stop supporting pedophilia asshole! Important film.

Rating: B

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

I love Wes Anderson films, even if I don’t necessarily award them glowing reviews. They are always creative, interesting, entertaining, and quirky. These are commodities I appreciate in film. Moonrise Kingdom possessed all of these qualities, portrayed by the usual cadre of Anderson players. Cute story amidst a magical landscape.

Rating: C+

Meek’s Cutoff (2010)

Incredibly slow moving. Like watching prairie grass grow. Wagons roll through the same Utah landscape for days. People rarely talk. An Indian shows up. Credits roll. How did this thing get funded? If you can make it through the entire film without fast forwarding, having an energy drink, or falling asleep, you deserve a medal.
