The Trip

Humorous. I wish I got all the inside jokes. Would have been better as the 6 episode series.

Four Lions

I understand my limitations in writing movie reviews and this one hit that limitation. I have no words for this film. Please fill in this review once you have watched it. It is funny and I loved it.

Waste Land

Fantastic. I think this movie turned out more poetic than the artist could have imagined. Not due to his artwork but for the wisdom of the catadores.

Even the Rain

Any movie dedicated to Howard Zinn has big shoes to fill. I would imagine he would be proud of this one. Brilliant. Really.

Blue Valentine

A drama about a couple going through marriage problems that ends up being so much more than a drama about a couple going through marriage problems. Double F's: Fantastic & Fresh.

American Experience: Jonestown

A PBS doc about the largest cult suicide ever. Incredible.

Rising Son: Christian Hosoi

A crazy documentary about one of the most famous skateboarders of all time whose career was cut short by a mean meth addiction.

CT 8/10

Surfwise

A hippie couple in the 70's takes their 1o kids on a never-ending surfing road-trip in a Winnebago instead of putting them in school. A crazy premise but the storytelling is off - no real conflict surfaces until the 1 hour mark & the ending feels sadly manufactured.

More Than a Game

Although much better than I thought, it is still just a documentary about a game.

Dogtooth

The weirdest, funniest, scariest film I've seen in recent memory. It's really beautiful in a very dirty way. Bruuuuuuuuuuce!!

Sons of Cuba

10-year-olds train at a boxing academy in Cuba. Adults living their dreams through childrens athletics is even more interesting when combined with communism.
