Foxcatcher Review

Foxcatcher Review



What I'm about to say should speak very highly of this film. Whenever I watch Goodfellas right before anything, that anything that comes after seems really awful in comparison. I watched Foxcatcher a few days ago after showing by brother Goodfellas for the first time. In hindsight, I should probably never do that again for any film, but Foxcatcher still managed to be one of my favorite films of last year despite having a handicap that I placed on it.

Ida Review

The other day, the local indie film theater near me started to play a small Polish film. I was told I should go see it and not to look up anything too big about it. So I followed the advice and went in almost completely blind. Really so many movie are better going in with no prior knowledge of what is going to happen, and this one is no exception.

Well I have a pretty simple answer to that, I thought after seeing plenty of what are considered the scariest horror films of all time I knew exactly what I was getting into the first time I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I couldn't have been more wrong.

Enemy Review

I had no idea what had just happened, so I had to go and watch the movie twice straight through. When a film is able to do that, it did something right.

Enemy has a very intriguing quote at the beginning,
