Official Secrets

★★★½ Watched

I didn't know any of this. Solid political thriller with literally no flash.

Slow West

2015

★★★★½ 6

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.

Chappie

2015

★★★★ 16

In theaters 3/6.

Chappie is getting brutalized by the critics and I don't get it, its undeniably a Neill Blomkamp film. The movie is action-heavy with relatively shallow performances, giant mechs driven by impeccable video-game inspired visual effects, and a dystopian Joberg setting. This is the formula people, get on board or GTHO the theater. Haters gonna hate, I guess.

I had a lot of fun with Chappie - it's like a cross of the childish wonder of Short Circuit
