Exit Through The Gift Shop 10/10

I couldn't write a review that'd come to close to giving this movie/documentary the credit it deserves. Avoiding the insane amount of reviews and hype that come along without any Banksy project is no feat but I faired well enough to enter the theater with any expectations or clues as to what the film was about. Yeah, it's a documentary by Banksy about the birth of street art but essentially it's the life story of a guy that took it upon himself to capture all of this culture from it's inception onward. It's hilarious, insightful and generally enjoyable. If you've ever felt anything about art then go see it.

Climate of Change 7/10

Nice and poignant but too much like every other climate change movie I've seen. Learned a bit about strip mining but I'd have been bummed out had I paid to see it.

William Vinent 5/10

I'm sure James Franco did the best he could with such material but he was so mechanical, the film was shot so annoyingly with such little depth of field and the overall story delivered nothing. It was interesting enough but I wouldn't see it again.

Metropia 7/10

While the movie is worth seeing for the visuals alone, the story was critically flawed and failed to deliver. I found it no surprise that the director spoke to no end about the animation process but hardly at all about the writing process. Juliette Lewis is just as beautiful in person as ever but hardly so in the film.

Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll 7/10

Hilariously funny and entertaining throughout. Very well played.

My Own Love Song 9/10

Before this movie I'd have bet my life savings that there'd never be a Renee Zellweger movie I'd ever enjoy or want to watch more than once but she along with Forest Whitaker, Madeline Zima and Nick Fucking Notle delivered incredible performances. Add a soundtrack chocked full of new Bob Dylan tracks and it's a no-brainer.

A Brand New Life 10/10

Easily some of the greatest child acting I've ever seen. This movie stands entirely on the brilliance of the performances and it's really quite incredible. So much about life, love and loss is communicated through these young actors.

Dream Home 8/10

I don't like horror movies but the incredibly artful murders were quite brilliant. I've never laughed so hard or seen a mid-coitus couple murdered as artfully as when an erect penis is severed via sword and continues ejaculating while the resulting bloodspray lands across her back like a money shot...
