  Strictly Ballroom 1992

  ★★★½ Watched by JΔΣΞS Β 25 Jun 2022

  I know jack crap about ballroom dancing, but this was still a fun watch. I think I might prefer Luhrmann with a few constraints.

  Australia 2008

  ★★★½ Watched by JΔΣΞS Β 25 Jun 2022

  A little long but I think it earned it, mostly.

  Slow West 2015

  ★★★★½ Watched by JΔΣΞS Β 12 Jul 2015 5

  Slow West is like if Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, and Jim Jarmusch bore a love child in New Zealand, then raised it in old west Colorado, with the life expectancy of a kiddie film's runtime. (And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.)

  Discussed in full on episode #139 of the Cinereelists podcast.

  Nightcrawler 2014

  ★★★★½ Watched by JΔΣΞS Β 28 Oct 2014

  In theaters October 31, 2014.

  Wow, what a deliciously creepy film first-time director Dan Gillroy has here. Gyllenhaal plays his hand perfectly as a cold obsessive who finds career opportunity in capturing crime footage as fast and as grizzly as possible in order to sell it at the highest price to the local news, a pursuit that eventually leads him to bend the rules of the game - along with everyone around him. A+, would watch again.
