Hunt for the Wilderpeople - 8/10
Watched this with some friends last night and we all thought it was pretty funny. Same writer/director as What We Do In The Shadows and the upcoming Thor movie. I love this guy and will watch anything he makes.

agree on this one and I'd give it the same rating. Taika Waititi makes some good movies. Check out Boy if you liked this one, has a similar vibe although it's built less as a comedy. He does a great job of turning something tragic into something really pretty to watch. He had a couple moments in this one where he was channeling Wes Anderson but it didn't feel overly opportunistic in the scenes where he "borrowed" some shots and they fit into the tone and pace really well, unlike...

31 - 3/10
Rob Zombie is bad at this and he should feel bad. IMDB write-up had some grandiose underlying plot that seems like it would have added a lot to what this ended up being. Torture porn but without the entertainment factor that The Devil's Rejects brought out of his House of 1000 Corpses story chain. This feels unfinished, pacing is all over the place and it probably could have been saved with a huge tone shift by having his wife not keep playing the same role over and over again. I was hesitant but excited to see this one as I was underwhelmed but really surprised by Lords of Salem and really thought he was going to start heading a different direction and do some Kubrickesque horror in the future. This one, right back to not as good as square one and he pulled out a crane + rotation, downward shot in that one for absolutely no reason.

Green Room - 8/10
This guy definitely has a style and he's been completely on point with his last two films. They straddle the line between revenge flick and crime drama and he does both aspects incredibly well. Only reason this is 8/10 is because it missed a few steps that Blue Ruin got perfect but it's still an amazing film

Just saw Appaloosa for the first time. It was a very interesting and different western. It starts out fairly standard then starts going off the well worn path. Has a great cast and wonderful performances. Ed Harris directs and its beautifully shot. This is not an action western . There are no large explosions and 10 minute gun fights. There is violence and gun play but it's much more realistic. My only complaint is I thought Renee was a bit miscast but it also kind of works since I didn't find her very likable despite being very interesting and a different type of western film woman.

I highly enjoyed the movie and if you are a western fan or just enjoy beautiful movies check it out just know what to expect.

Jack Reacher never go back 6.5/10. Could of been better good god was the "IM A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN AND DO NOT NEED NO MAN" vibe was almost unbearable.
