Air

The apocalypse. Two men. One bunker. Very little air. That's all I can tell you about this fantastic thriller without ruining this plot, but hopefully it's enough to peak your interest. The plot is a simple story well told, something I love to find. The set and direction are sparse, almost naked. There wasn't much of a budget for this, but it didn't need one, and it works all the same. There are a few moments of character development I found odd, and I'm not sure about the last few minutes of the film, but it certainly left an impact on me. Recommended. 4/5

The Tempest

Julie Taymor missed the mark ever so slightly with this retelling but tremendous acting truly saved it. Djimon Hounsou was perfection as Caliban but Mirren not nearly as evil as she should have been. Interesting take. 3.5/5

Elephant White

Not even inspired performances by Bacon & Honsou could save this plot-hole riddled & badly ADRed thriller. 2.5/5
