All in Mystery
Steven Soderbergh's SIDE EFFECTS
This tasty little thriller really packs a punch with frequent and unexpected twists and turns along the way. Jude Law and Rooney Mara star in an expertly crafted cat and mouse game that pits … well, explaining the story too much would spoil things.
Jaman Winan’s INK
Seeing INK reminded me of my guardian angel days as it explores the conflict between good and evil and the shadowy netherworld of dreams, nightmares, and overlapping timelines.
David Fincher's GONE GIRL
Let’s also say that what this movie reminded me of was a blended mix of both seasons of True Detective to which is a affixed a fragile but showy veneer of bitter middle-class angst and marital subterfuge, plus a lot of dark humor.
Kevin MacDonald's BLACK SEA
I’m a sucker for submarine movies and books. BLACK SEA delivers.
Francis Ford Coppola's TWIXT
I started out this film not realizing Francis Ford Coppola made it just a few years ago.
I'm Giving Up On UNDER THE DOME
I loved the book. To say I’m disappointed with the TV series would be an understatement. I’ve watched 5 or 6 episodes so far (via Amazon Prime) but I think I’ll stop there.
Kang Woo-suk's MOSS
This is the review I posted on Netflix after watching this streamed Korean mystery/thriller:
Peter Greenaway's NIGHTWATCHING
At first I was afraid this was going be a film of a stage production but it evolves into a series of dramatic tableaux featuring extraordinary lighting, costumes, and emotional histrionics straight out of Rembrandt’s paintings.
Debra Granik's WINTER'S BONE
The Ozark back country depicted in this film is one that Facebook and Twitter have ignored. Or maybe it’s the other way around.
Monthon Arayangkoon's THE VICTIM
This Thai ghost story/crime thriller is convoluted, intense — and scary.
Takashi Shimizu's REINCARNATION
This is one creepy movie!
Park Chan Wook's THIRST
