I rented it and was really disappointed in it. James Franco was painfully unfunny.go birds wrote:Looks like The Interview is available via vudu so I know what I'm watching tonight!

Pithy review time:
The Way of the Gun: Ryan Philippe and Benicio del Toro get into realistic shootout with a bunch of old guys, the Ectomobile shows up and mercifully whisks Juliette Lewis out of the film. Pretty good.
Shooter: Poe's Law in action, a right-wing conspiracy starring Mark Wahlberg as a military superhero named (seriously) Bob Lee Swagger. Kate Mara is gorgeous.
Heavenly Creatures: An obsessive romance shot like a horror film. Legitimately hair-raising, Jackson should go back to making films like this.
The Sacrament: A rote, thinly-sketched Jonestown homage. I'd rather just read about the real thing on Wikipedia.
Filth: Neither its boilerplate sense of transgression nor its unearned pathos hit the mark. Entertaining, but hollow. Great soundtrack.
Calvary: Best screenplay of any film I saw in 2014, that's for sure. John McDonagh is probably a big fan of Winter Light.

Re: movies
That opening is the best bit, that film fell off a cliff quickly I thought.
