Isolated retreats, a tragic history, centuries old secrets, and a muted color pallet. These are just some of the key ingredients in Gore Verbinski's psychological thriller A Cure for Wellness.
The Lobster (4/10)
Whether it's a psychological need to be loved and adored, or a horrific fear of loneliness, people jump through some crazy hoops to make sure they're not alone.The Lobster is a film commenting on society's perpetual need to feel complete through a significant other.
The Accountant (8/10)
This is the Batman film we all deserve.
Passengers (7/10)
The heart of this film is humanity. The way we see Jim make decisions on the ship and deal with loneliness is both inspiring and excruciating.
The Monster (5/10)
As it sits, The Monster is lukewarm homage to the creature features of yesteryear.

Here's to the fools that dream.
WCW Review- Silver Linings Playbook (10/10)
"The world will break your heart ten ways to Sunday. That's guaranteed. I can't begin to explain that. Or the craziness inside myself and everyone else... I think of what everyone did for me, and I feel like a very lucky guy."

Thanksgiving update.
We will be taking a break this Thursday from our usual programming to enjoy some family time and a delicious feast. I encourage you to do the same. Have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving, and remember to celebrate family and friendships this year. We would be nothing and nowhere without them.
(But if you're looking for some holiday recommendations, I highly recommend marathoning the James Bond films on Amazon Prime Video. If action isn't your thing, you can never go wrong with classic comedies like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles with John Candy and Steve Martin or Mrs Doubtfire with Robin Williams. A good family movie is a good choice. Enjoy!)

The human mind is capable of so much kindness and cruelty, and to test those limits there's no better backdrop than Viva Las Vegas.
