10 Cloverfield Lane

10 Cloverfield Lane 2016

★★★½ Liked Watched

Not so much a CLOVERFIELD sequel/anthology as it is a thriller with CLOVERFIELD references tacked on to make it seem more significant than it is.

I would have much rather had this movie be approached as a self-contained, almost B-movie type suspense or horror film than slapping it with the CLOVERFIELD. The content of the movie doesn't really justify the title.

The movie was still cool, though.

★★ Watched

You see, the problem with trying to re-make THE DEPARTED is that no matter what, you'll never be as good as THE DEPARTED.

Still worth a watch for the action scenes and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

The Witch

★★ Watched

I really, really, really, REALLY wanted to like this movie. But I can't justify it.

Watching Deadpool do his thing was A+++ cinema. Everything else was irrelevant. Still a fun lil' movie!

Just finished watching this for the third time and damn it am I still impressed.

It succeeds not only as a continuation of the previous three Craig films, but also as a first-rate action/adventure film that opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the future. Should Craig return, of course.


Do I like it as much as SKYFALL? Eh, I don't know, but as for right now this is still my favorite movie of 2015 and still tied with its predecessor for my favorite Bond film. And shouldn't that be good enough?

From someone who's never really gotten into the Coen Brothers (NO COUNTRY and TRUE GRIT are just okay in my eyes) I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit.

The meta and nostalgic tone and commentary about the fludity of the film business that was refreshing in an age of "Death of the Blockbuster/TV is better than Movies" headlines.

The cast was fun to watch (especially Wayne Knight in a small role) and the story was an interesting one, but…

With this flick, Gavin O'Connor has joined a group of directors of whom I will see their new movie no matter what.

He piqued my curiosity with MIRACLE, validated it with WARRIOR and now with this movie, he's really driven it home for me that he is not one to be overlooked.

With JANE GOT A GUN, O'Connor is able to come out with (assisted by an excellent screenplay from Edgerton) an excellent female empowered western. Both elements that stand…

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Tarantino has delivered us his first murder mystery. With echoes of "And Then There Were None" to complement Tarantino's trademark style, this was a thoroughly enjoyable (if slightly long) addition to his filmography.
