Recent movies:
Snow White I covered this one in the associated thread on, of all people, Peter Dinklage:
Locked A minimal cast, minimal sets movie on the classic “villain traps someone and forces them into a game of a cat and mouse”. Some cleverness in the twists and turns, but also several plot holes. It turns out exactly as you think it will, but the actors really commit, so it is a diverting use of an hour and a half.
Bob Trevino Likes It An indie on the theme of coming to terms with a (very) dysfunctional family. The cast was strong enough to overcome the stereotypes in their characters, especially Barbie Ferreira, a relative newcomer. The performances carry what is a pretty standard script. All in all, I would recommend giving it a chance.
A Working Man The latest Jason Statham offering. This says it all. If you enjoy the bonecrunching action of his films, this one delivers. If you don’t, by all means give it a pass. (I think I’ve seen every one of his movies in this genre, including all the Crank movies!).
Death of a Unicorn Sounds like an low budget indie about the trials and tribulations of a [fill in the blank], with a suitable down beat ending, doesn’t it? Nope. It’s a “do not disturb the monsters” movie where the monsters are unicorns, but the characters (except for our heroes) are so uniformly execrable that the enjoyment is seeing how each gets their comeuppance. Very enjoyable but predictable (and really bloody).
