  Igby Goes Down 2002

  ★★★½ Watched by Brent Starkey 26 Jun 2022

  "Anne Frank. Anne Frank. The soldiers are gone. Come out and play."
  Dark dramedy with a really good cast.. this was kind of an updated Catcher in the rye type of thing. And was pretty Damn enjoyable overall. I liked it!!!

  Mad God 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Brent Starkey 25 Jun 2022

  30 years in the making and a visually stunning phenomenon. Phil Tippett has created a stop motion nightmare world that has to be seen to be believed. Could easily be 5 stars, but I have to be honest and say that I am not sure what the story was. Regardless, this makes my Best of 2021 list easily. Highly recommended

  Awake 2021

  ★★★½ Watched by Brent Starkey 12 Jun 2021

  Hmmm, I seemed to like this more than most people. Sure, it had plenty of flaws.. but it was pretty exciting and I was happy that there was some sort of ending instead of leaving everything wide open. It makes my Top 15 for this year (so far)

  The Virgin Suicides 1999

  ★★★★ Watched by Brent Starkey 24 Sep 2020

  "What lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts: A clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon, and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself."

  Wow! 2 pretty great movies in one night. This was another one I had on my list for years and just got around to. Heavy movie (as you might guess from the title) directed really well by Sofia Coppola and the added bonus of a stellar cast. This is kind of what can happen when you shelter your kids too much and smother them with religion. Recommended
