Out to Own Today: The Nightingale

27/1/2020

Out to own today:

The Nightingale

“Sure you want to follow them? They are mad devils,” Billy (Baykali Ganambarr)

THE NIGHTINGALE is unrelenting. That’s two for two from Jennifer Kent. From the modern horror excellence of THE BABADOOK [2014], the talented writer-director has expanded her scope to deal with the mass extinguishing of life. The mass exploitation of people. This film is a merciless, unyieldingly brutal Australian revenge drama. An eviscerating indictment on enslavement, imperialism, and racism.

Color Out of Space - film review

24/1/2020

COLOR OUT OF SPACE ★☆☆☆☆
D: Richard Stanley (The Island of Dr. Moreau).
S: Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson, Madeleine Arthur, Elliot Knight, Q'orianka Kilcher, Tommy Chong.

Tired horror gubbins. Is this meant to be a pastiche? Anyhow, it's an annoying experience. Nic Cage's brand of acting causes a few chortles.

The Climb - film review

22/1/2020

THE CLIMB ★★★★☆
D: Michael Angelo Covino.
S: Michael Angelo Covino, Kyle Marvin, Gayle Rankin, Judith Godrèche, Talia Balsam, Todd Barry, George Wendt.

What a comedy! The camerawork is unbelievable. The scene orchestration is sublime. Avoids the usual bromance formula, for something colder and less mawkish.
