Sleepwalk With Me

The integration of the stand-up & movie plot blended quite well - I got swept up in it totally by the end. 3.5/5

Dead Bodies

This thriller has it's share of twists - it's just that none of them were surprising or unseen. Pretty average. 3/5

The Words

The layers of this intricate, insightful & ambiguous drama are perfectly structure & the acting is impeccable. I absolutely loved the end. Loved. It could not have ended better or any other way. A brave and noble choice. 4.5/5

Little Birds

Juno Temple & Kay Panabaker are exquisite in this dark, tragic & emotional tale of adolescence. Truly superb. I previously saw Juno Temple in "Dirty Girl", another surprise dark-horse of a film I can't recommend enough. 4.5/5

Searching for Debra Winger

This documentary is nothing but pretentious self-indulgent crap - what a waste of time honestly. 1.5/5

Bitter Feast

James Le Gros is marvelous & Joshua Leonard is transcendent in this gripping thriller that only lacked an end. 3.5/5

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey

Given recent events parts of this are difficult to watch but the story is fascinating & I can't blame the filmmakers. This is a tough one - I can't imagine what the filmmakers think now. Really tough.  I don't feel comfortable rating this - as a movie is great, but in actuality it's a film about a lying pedophile, so... 4/5?

Savages

This was surprisingly good & entertaining save for the completely weak ending. Well directed & acted throughout. 3.5/5

Lawless

The second of Nick Cave's features is also very gritty, seedy, dark, & explores morality in an interesting way. Well done. Incidentally, Cave's first film, "The Proposition", remains one of my very favorite films in in the last decade, which is very high praise indeed. 3.5/5

Premium Rush

This fast-paced bike movie is loads of fun, but don't think I don't see the "Quicksilver" comparisons. 4/5
