A.C.O.D.

Get out your drum sets and old pictures, we're reviewing A.C.O.D.!

Carter (Adam Scott) is an Adult Child of Divorce. He seems to be adjusting well now that he owns his own restaurant and is in a relationship with Lauren (Marie Elizabeth Winstead), but when his brother Trey (Clark Duke) suddenly gets married and asks him to get their parents (Richard Jenkins and Catherine O'Hare) together, he finds out he's not so well-adjusted, after all.

Safety Not Guaranteed

Get out your guns and lasers, we're reviewing Safety Not Guaranteed!
If Aubrey Plaza stares into the abyss, the abyss runs home crying.
Darius(Aubrey Plaza) is an intern for a magazine. When one of the writers Jeff(Jake Johnson) takes her and Arnau(Karan Soni) on a trip to interview Kenneth(Mark Duplass) who supposedly is building a time-machine, she decides to pretend to be an assistant wanting to go back in time to get closer and find out if he can really do it. Can he really travel back in time?

Quick Review: Pete Smalls is Dead


Pete Smalls is Dead is a strange indie semi-noir movie staring Peter Dinklage. That one sentence probably tells you whether or not you're interested in seeing it.  It has a huge cast of people you know from other things including Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth and Rosie Perez, and they're all pretty good in their respective roles. It's especially enjoyable if you need a Peter Dinklage fix before the next Game of Thrones season, as he's the troubled yet wise-cracking protagonist and narrator.  It's a fairly interesting and funny noir as K.C.(Peter Dinklage) tries to get his dog back from some gangsters by making a movie and investigating the death of his friend, Pete Smalls. It's short and weird(no pun intended) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. $$$$, especially if you love Dinklage and noir.

The Last Lullaby

Get out your guns and sleeping pills, we're reviewing The Last Lullaby!
The Last Lullaby is a small indie noir I decided to check out. It's better than I expected, but still not as great as I wanted it to be.

Attack the Block

Put on your masks and take out the fireworks, we're reviewing Attack the Block!
I'm semi-interested in doing a minimalist poster for this.
Believe all the hype. Attack the Block takes an original idea and provides a fun and fulfilling narrative.  It's this year's Scott Pilgrim, in that barely anyone will see it but everyone will be talking about it.  If Cowboys and Aliens left you high and dry in the originality department, this will be your sparkling oasis.
