Kings of Summer - Funny but I can see what they were going for and it fell pretty short overall for me. Maybe my teenage years are too far behind me to appreciate it.
Ratcatcher - Realized I had seen it many years ago. It was on the Bravo channel when it first started and was an arthouse channel. Before the reality TV revolution
BUG - Ho lee shit. I was crawling up the walls by the end. Magnificent movie. The most horrified I have been by a movie in years. Amazing.
Killer Joe - Very very good. Great actually. Totally gripped from the get go. I'd love to see the play. Kermode scores another recommend point.
The Love Witch - It was ok. Fun. Some very spot on commentary on gender, I wish it was a little more overt with that part and I wish it had a little more fun with its genre. It was too slow for what it was. Enjoyable and strange.
Source Code - Watched it twice in a row. Cool concept, mind bending plot, very good performance by Jake Gillianhalser. I understand Killer Joe going unnoticed since the premise is so fucking dark and morbid, but I dont know why this wasnt more popular. Still havent seen Mute.
Annihilation - Fan-fucking-tastic. Garland is the man. I will now go see anything he does. I wish the CG was better but that is a minor criticism. This is sci-fi done right. Awesome music, the ending is built up so much and the payoff fits the setup just perfectly.
