“Search” bows to average moviegoers who aren’t in the business of challenging themselves, and this movie has all the subtleties of a t.v. movie of the week.
“Lords of Chaos”
Films don’t often leave me speechless but after the final credits rolled on “Lords of Chaos,” I was so stunned and shocked that I felt like kicking a baby and running to a back alley to throw up.
“American Animals”
This is an engaging true crime film that’s all about conflicting perspectives and is also thoroughly entertaining. And if you’ve ever daydreamed about plotting a robbery of your own, it will remind you that you probably aren’t as smart as you think you are.
“Hostiles”
This is a handsome looking, brutal and barbaric film with lofty ambitions and a small budget, and it’s worth seeing if only for these reasons (and Bale’s performance).
“An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn”
The visual and physical humor is when the film is at its funniest, especially when it’s accompanied by the deadpan, monotone line delivery. Most of this film feels weird for the sake of being weird, and there’s nothing freaky or special enough to make it memorable.
“Damsel”
This isn’t a bad movie and it’s certainly not unwatchable, but it’s a definite stumble for the usually fantastic Zellners.
