    Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead

    ★★★★

    One of the most ignorant claims is that this film is nothing more than a "cheap Tarantino knockoff"when it feels nothing like it and the screenplay was written before Reservoir Dogs was even released. This is a smart crime drama/dark comedy with heart that feels wholly unique. Filled with a cast of talented actors playing quirky characters such as Buscemi's indestructible hitman "Mr. Shush" along with Christopher Lloyd (need I say more?), Christopher Walken, William Forsythe, Fairuza Balk, Treat Williams,…

    Riveting, exciting and climatic...
    These are a few words I would use to describe the cinematic conclusion to the Apes trilogy. As the intro states, the movie begins years after the events in "Dawn", when the apes and man live amongst one another. Though it works as a standalone film, I recommend checking out the two before it if you haven't. It is an engaging story that pulls you in with strong performances and fantastic visuals.
