recently seen:
Birdman (2014)- one of the best of the year. visually stunning and emotionally jarring. Just give Keaton the Oscar now!
Nightmare City (1980)- Umberto Lenzi is a low-rent Lucio Fulci, which is a fun thing sometimes.
Nightbreed (1989)- Shout Factory recently released a blu-ray version of this film. Still holds up from my youth. Terrific creature costumes and twisted mythology.
Rage (1972)- George C. Scott's directorial debut and he stars in it... about a father who takes revenge on the establishment after his son dies. Good stuff.
Fury (2014)- hated it. hated it. walks the uneasy line between John Wayne like jingoism and new liberal Hollywood bullshit. Anyone who reads one iota on the SS knows a final act reprieve is just mind boggingly bad.
St. Vincent (2014)- Bill Murray doing Bill Murray which is never a bad thing.
