  • Cheap Thrills 2013

    ★★★ Watched 17 Mar, 2013

    Such a simple premise that I'd be surprised if it hadn't been done before. Constantly tries to one up the previous stunt in each subsequent scene. End feels inevitable. Depressing and mean spirited but also funny.

  • The East 2013

    ★★★ Watched 16 Mar, 2013

    Eco-thriller with Marling wrestling with the idea of a good and bad guy. A lot of it is over the top and difficult to buy as realistic, but I enjoyed it much more than Sound of My Voice, for whatever that's worth.

  • Evil Dead 2013

    ★★ Watched 08 Mar, 2013

    Focuses entirely too much on its hard R blood and gore instead of being a film that lives up to its audacious poster. The changes made from the original are interesting but so over the top that it's difficult to suspend disbelief even knowing that this isn't exactly the most grounded in reality movie. The stinger after the movie is pandering shit, too. Of course the audience ate it up.

  • Fourplay 2013

    ★★★★ Watched 12 Feb, 2013 2

    Have not seen too many depictions of transgendered people in movies, but I can't imagine many handle them in as poignant a way as the last vignette in this film does.

    Of the four cities covered in the film, I think Austin is the weakest, though I'm not sure if that's because the subject matter is less risque than in the other vignettes or if it's less engaging in some other way.

    The first and third vignettes are quite funny…
