52 Pick-Up (1986)

Drama Rated R

“…may very well suffer from mismatched sensibilities.”

From Up on Poppy Hill (2013)

Family Rated PG

“The magic is found in the everyday details of domestic life.”

The World’s End (2013)

Comedy Rated R

“Pegg and Wright’s movies laugh, bleed and explode in the face of maturity, even as they begrudgingly recognize the virtue of it.”

Prince Avalanche (2013)

Comedy Rated R

“The central tension in Prince Avalanche is one between solitude and community.”

The Act of Killing (2013)

Action/Adventure Rated NR

“… suddenly we have the cinema – that glorious mutt art.”

2046 (2004)

Drama Rated R

A work of Wong Kar-wai fan fiction, at best. One of self parody, at worst.

Drama Rated R

“…takes tragedies that have inflamed a nation – from Fruitvale to Sanford, Fla. – and brings them back down to human scale.”

Elysium (2013)

Action/Adventure Rated R
