The Wildest Dream - What a Documentary! I didn't know anything about this film when i went to see it other than it was a Doc about Everest. The story is amazing and the visuals are breath-taking. I still can't get over that this story hasn't been made into a big hollywood blockbuster. B+
Check this trailer out and if you see this movie playing in a theatre near you...GO SEE IT!
The Other Guys - Funny but lacking the real punch Anchorman had. Some jokes work, some don't and when they don't they really don't. This is the best thing Will Ferrell has done in a while but that doesn't really mean a lot. Def. work checking out but maybe on video. C+
Farewell - This french film about the cold war is engaging and extremely well-made spy movie. The cast is fantastic and the script draws you into the world and the character's emotions. I really enjoyed this film and it's one to seek out. B+
Animal Kingdom - This film from australia is being hailed as one of the best of the year. I don't think it's that good but this slow-paced crime movie about a family of bank robbers on the brink of self-destruction is so well acted and new filmmaker David Michod shows some real talent behind the camera. The film shows a family's demise like a greek tragedy and the film slow burns it's way under your skin. The film does get a little slow and repetitive at times but the cast is perfect and the script is sharp and doesn't fall into many of the crime drama traps. Check this bad buy out because you will be hearing about it. B+/B
