  • Killer's Kiss 1955

    ★★★½ Watched 26 Apr, 2013

    Succinct noir best known for being Stanley Kubrick's second full-length film. This one stretches a thin plot further than it probably should, but it's worth sticking with just to see the brilliant brawl that takes place in a room full of mannequins.

  • Bullhead 2011

    ★★★★ Watched 26 Jan, 2013

    Was not expecting this to be so depressing. A fascinating character study of someone who suffered an incredibly traumatic experience as a boy, and now struggles to maintain a normal life. Bullhead has an amazing performance from Matthias Schoenaerts in the lead role, someone I was unfamiliar with beforehand. This one got a well-deserved Oscar nod for Best Foreign Language Film last year.

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990

    ★★★½ Rewatched 17 Jan, 2013

    It had been a good 20 years or so since I last saw this, so I wasn't sure what to expect as an adult. Surprisingly enough, this holds up quite well. Jim Henson's designs still look excellent, and some of the turtles' wisecracks are genuinely funny. I don't remember this film being as dark as it is either. Good fun overall.
