Much like Saulnier, Blair seems to have found his voice among the derelict and poverty stricken blue collar element of the criminals in our very own backyards.

I literally busted out laughing multiple times during the pilot as well as the second episode entitled “Bear Attack.” The humor is both weird and observational via the mother-daughter relationship.
The show is strenuously trying to stay in keeping with true crime documentaries, though the actual tone and shooting style mirror modern ensemble comedies.
Even tried and true nerds do not want to go into a movie called, “Office Christmas Party,” with the intention of hearing about coding or the condition of Dell’s servers.
Kevin Smith seems to be in a weird place right now. Though I would like to use the bulk of this review to chastise him, in equal strides I would like to ask if he is okay. Are you okay, Kevin Smith?
Love against all odds is the most horrifying, and often heart wrenching, of genre conventions. To know as a society that this not only happened to the Lovings, but generations upon generations of mixed families, is absolutely grotesque.
The inspiration behind bands such as Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, and The Cure are explained, unpacked, and rehashed by the Sing Street band in a truly inspiring ode to Carney’s teenaged generation.
Dealing with intense emotions and repressed memories lent to Quick’s confessions to various murders that were previously unsolved. The victims varied, the crimes stretched between Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway, and the ways in which Quick killed were varied.
At the beginning this is actually a pretty enjoyable film, what with the main roles being filled by up and comer John Magaro, the odiously villainous Christopher McDonald, and one of my favorite character actresses, Dreama Walker.
It kind of makes sense that CK would try to release it in this way. “Horace and Pete” is an unexplainable creation that has little mass appeal. You can’t really create a succinct trailer that truly gets at the meat of the story and unearths the strange and pointedly dark characters that the show dissects with clinical ease.
There are five writers on this film (including “George Lucas in Love” director Joe Nussbaum) and honestly it feels like it. There is so much testosterone in this film that there isn’t much room for dealing with actual emotions, or the complexities of being a teenager in a man’s body
Though some of these excursions seem to undercut the fact that this is a film about volcanoes, this film never bores its audience. Between the panoramic shots of tropical foliage and the drone sequences that pan across villages and volcanoes alike, this is a feast for the eyes.
He fought against his superiors and a court martial in order to serve without a weapon and went on to save between 50-100 lives during a particularly terrible siege of Hacksaw Ridge. The actual end of Doss’ story is much more spectacular, as Doss was eventually shot multiple times and yet gave up his stretcher to a more injured Marine.
The rest of the show feels invigorating as there hasn’t been much comedy to come out of the election results, just explanations, essays, long winded arguments, and more political and social unrest. Dave Chappelle’s monologue feels so energizing, as he first makes fun of the political climate that currently infuses our everyday life, about the fate of our country.
Solondz films don’t show winners. They show people who deserve far worse than they’re getting, or people who are so devastatingly wrong in every aspect of their lives that it’s embarrassing to watch them just live them.
Playing opposite her is the equally talented Sam Rockwell, who is undercutting his trademark majesty with a role as a burbling, manic depressive hit man; who works under a moral code to only kill those who have hired him to kill. Somewhat out of the blue he decides that he fancies Kendrick, and she him, and they wander around New Orleans becoming best buddies.
Using a celebratory holiday as the background for your horror film isn’t a new technique. The most popular slasher film of all time is “Halloween,” complete with trick or treaters and the teenaged screams of Jamie Lee Curtis.
Though there are a couple of chuckles to be had at the witty banter, there's nothing truly incisive about the commentary of this film. The world of mascoting might be small, like the dog show circuit, but it's not one that truly lends to a lot of social discourse, or any true characterizations of small town America, which is Guest's bread and butter.
The reason I am being so harsh isn't just because this film isn't "Gone Girl," but because it veers away from the book in all the wrong ways. It changes Rachel from a complete mess of a human being into a slightly flawed neurotic
