    Lord of the Flies

    ★★★★

    Simple and straightforward adaptation of the classic novel, this film provokes strong emotions with its depiction of an adolescent descent into cruelty, violence and tribalism.
    This is a primal cautionary tale for us all to ponder.

    I'm Not There

    ★★★★★

    Six Dylan’s, six stories. Inspired by his life and more importantly the music.
    This film is true artistic excellence - creative, bold and original. 
    If you're a Dylan fan (and this film is really meant for the fans), the cumulative effect is exhilarating. 
    One of the many flashes of brilliance, Dylan receiving his final divorce papers from his wife intercut to the signing of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords that ended the Vietnam War.
    Treasure this film.
    💯🎙️🇺🇸

    The Horse Thief

    ★★★½

    Scorsese named this the best film of the 1980s. 

    On the surface, one can understand the acclaim as the film is framed as a sinner redemption story albeit with Buddhist, not Catholic, overtones. 
    Our titular horse thief suffers the karmic consequences of his life of theiving yet is looped back into his bad behavior to aid in his family's survival. Herein may be the film's central crux, the complex run off from self destructive deeds may in the end serve…

    Midnight Run

    ★★★

    This buddy road movie is elevated by the funny performances from the leads. De Niro brings all his tough guy charisma to the role and it pairs well with the dry, matter-of-fact humor from Charles Grodin. The film is also appealing for its 1980s look and style which have a certain Reagan-era nostalgia.
