A Fighting Man

An innovative drama that employs a shifting chronology to great effect. I don't think I've seen one like it. 3.5/5

Detachment

This film is dark, tragic, beautiful, cerebral, open-ended & perfectly acted. I love finding rare gems like these. 5/5

Henry's Crime

If anyone other than Keanu had starred this might have been savable... as it is, not so much. Barely decent. 2.5/5

Middle Men

Time for another special FTRQ review for another Potentially Bad Movie Night with Emilie Staat (@emofalltrades on Twitter)! This week we have "Middle Men", the true-to-life story of a Southern businessman who gets involved in the development of Net porn! How did our movie night turn out? Read on!

DONNA:
Okay... WOW that was so not the movie I was expecting & I mean that in all the best possible ways! Yes, it was funny but also poignant, dramatic, really well acted, detailed & wonderfully directed. I'm so pleasantly surprised. 4/5


EMILIE:
Middle Men wasn't what I expected. I don't know why, but I thought it'd be more comedic and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't just a silly light-hearted romp. It was funny and interesting and ended just about the best way it possibly could. 3.5/5 stars.

**********************************

DONNA'S RATING: 4/5
EMILIE'S RATING: 3.5/5

So... another potentially bad movie night averted! We're two for two in finding really good films disguised as bad ones... but will our luck continue? Stay tuned! ;)
