Batman: Year One
A really solid adaptation of Batman: Year One. That’s
about all there is to say. It translates the artstyle into animation quite
well.The voice acting is good... Really, its the animated version of Year One, and that is a very good thing.
A Girl Walks Home
Alone at Night
A gorgeous, moody, bloody exquisite and exquisitely
bloody vampire film. I’d compare it to Let the Right One In, favorably. It’s
artistic, but also unsettling. A very Gothic film. I like calling films Gothic,
because it means they reminded me of the Gothic, which I like. What I’m trying
to say is, this is really good.
Richard III
If you want to see a well-acted theatrical version of
Richard III, with original Shakespearean dialogue yet WWI/II era sets and
costuming, this is your jam. Richard III (Ian McKellen) is charismatic and villainous, and the
change in time period allows a comparison to Hitler to be drawn by both the
film and the viewer. It’s well-acted, well-film, the soundtrack is great—Jazz
works wonderfully here—and it’s a solid substitute for the theater, if you
can’t get there.
What We Do in the Shadows
New Zealand comedic mockumentary about vampires. It's
great, that's all. Seriously. If you like vampires, or mockumentaries, or
vampire mockumentaries, it's worth a watch.
