War & Piece War & Peace Tom Harper 4/6 Not up there with Bondarchuk’s 1966 masterpiece, but still a good watch.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans [2009] Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Werner Herzog 4/5 Only superficially related to Ferrara’s neo-classic name-sake, Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant finally sees Cage on form again. I can’t really remember much of the Keitel-lieutenant, but I’m still pretty sure this is much better.
Birdman [2014] Birdman or (the unexpected virtue of ignorance) Alejandro G. Iñárrity 6/6 Wow. That was awesome. Understated, intelligent, ambiguous. More, please!
Asylum [1972] Asylum Peter Robinson 1/2 A documentary about an experimental treatment facility for the insane, where they’re essentially left to their own devices to … get over it. Didn’t work.
The Hoax [2006] The Hoax Lasse Hallström ?/6 Not what I expected. Pretty intense. Always on the verge of everything going to hell. Almost, but not quite over the top.
The Green Hornet [2011] The Green Hornet Michel Gondry 4/6 They should give all the superhero movies to Gondry.
