Suicide Squad is a Sugar Rush and Sugar Crash All at Once
Suicide Squad is a feature length trailer. It’s structured like a videogame and plotted like a D&D campaign where everyone’s roleplaying chaotic evil. Anyway, I kinda liked it.
Terror in Resonance
Terror in Resonance frames itself as a contemporary reflection on Japanese politics, specifically considering issues like protest – and its proximity to terrorism – and the nation’s relationship with the United States.
Jason Bourne (2016)
Jason Bourne is back! Bourne again. Re-Bourne. Bourne to be wild – again! Okay, I’ll stop.
Love & Friendship is a Delightfully Droll Austen Adaptation
Love & Friendship – Whit Stillman’s spin on Jane Austen’s novella Lady Susan – is a deftly-executed delight, a lilting melody of acerbic one liners and charming repartee.
A Letter to Momo (2011)
This gorgeous Japanese animation film warrants its recent Australian HD remaster, but can’t help but pale in comparison to the work of Miyazaki, which it strongly resembles.
Ghostbusters (2016)
Everyone’s got an opinion on the new Ghostbusters whether or not they’ve seen it. Does it suck? Does it rock? …Short answer: yes. To both.
Your Biggest Fan: The Rise of Internet Fandom
The virulent reaction to the new Ghostbusters film demonstrates how the internet has empowered a force of good and evil: fandom.
Yakuza Apocalypse (2015)
Yakuza vampires and frog-costume-clad monsters; put simply, this is a batshit movie.
Sparrows (2015)
A provocative conclusion can’t disguise the familiarity of this Icelandic coming-of-age narrative.
The Idealist (2015)
A journalism procedural movie in the tradition of All the Presidents’ Men that rigorously depicts the minutiae of investigative journalism.
