David Fincher – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Mon, 22 Aug 2016 05:12:25 +0000

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a warm, fuzzy Forest-Gumpian tale of a deadbeat dad and his deadbeat dad son. Fincher’s take on this (very loose) F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation is a departure of sorts from his thriller-tinged canon thus far. This is Fincher at his most romantic, and even still he manages to inject action, humor and slick, stylized camera work into the mix. It’s a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

David Fincher – Se7en

Mon, 18 Jul 2016 18:26:28 +0000

Se7en is a psychological thriller that grabs from the get-go and doesn’t let go. It’s so affecting, so dark, so gruesome and extreme that the film may make you see things that aren’t even there. With excellent performances, a rock-solid script and masterful direction, Se7en is as engrossing a movie today as it was twenty years ago. It has staked its claim as one of the best films of the 90’s.

Guillermo del Toro – Crimson Peak

Sun, 15 May 2016 23:48:18 +0000

Guillermo del Toro’s most recent film is a deep, creepy, personal story with ghosts in it. With excellent performances from top actors, strong metaphorical overtones, and face stabs, this film may be best viewed in context to his previous movies. Eric and Levi had differing opionions on the film, but could agree on one thing—it is inexcusably del Toro.

Guillermo del Toro – Pacific Rim

Mon, 09 May 2016 04:42:52 +0000

Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim is a stupid fun action flick with big monsters punching big robots in their big faces. It’s a fun, if inconsistent ride through a detailed and expansive mythos. What it lacks in story, character, and (sometimes) logic, it makes up for in PUNCHING MONSTERS IN THE FACE!!!* Monster + Punch = FACE!!!

*Monsters were punched in the face in the making of this movie.

Edgar Wright – Shaun of the Dead

Sun, 17 Jan 2016 19:03:55 +0000

It’s a rip-roarin’ zombie adventure with TONS of heart. We watched Shaun of the Dead this week and used it as an opportunity to have deep existential conversations. This comedy where a kid has to blow his mom’s head off, contemplate suicide, and make amends with his dying step-father was a real treat! Join us next week as we watch Hot Fuzz.

Quentin Tarantino – Epilogue

Sun, 03 Jan 2016 22:38:47 +0000

Welp, our journey through Tarantino’s films has come to a close. We laughed, we cried, we reviled in horror as Eric and Levi attempted hideous accents. Consider this your wrap-up thread for Tarantino. How would you rank Tarantino’s films? What are your favorite Tarantino-isms? Are you a Big Kahuna person or a Red Apple person? Discuss!

Quentin Tarantino – The Hateful Eight

Sun, 27 Dec 2015 21:49:38 +0000

The eighth film from Quentin Tarantino just hit theaters. It’s a rip-roarin’ character study bundled up in the Wyoming winter. Samuel L. Jackson gives an Oscar-worthy performance as ruthless bounty hunter Major Marquis Warren, and headlines a cast of big characters with big motives and big payoff. Join us for this in-depth look at QT’s latest flick, and come back next week for our wrap-up of our Tarantino watch-through.
