  Kind of the more audience friendly Mulholland Drive

  Upstream Color 2013

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 May 2013

  Beautiful, dense, intriguing, thought provoking and fully engrossing. It's hard for me to review a movie that I feel requires multiple viewings, which Upstream Color certainly does. A few adjectives will have to do for now, other than to say that I really enjoyed it and am really intrigued with Shane Carruth.

  Wreck-It Ralph 2012

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Apr 2013

  The first half seems devoted to the parents watching, with several retro gaming references. The second half is for the kids and families, comprising a pretty good story.

  Once Upon a Time in Anatolia 2011

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2013

  Once Upon A Time In Anatolia is not a film to recommend to the casual movie goer. It eschews action and drama for intense personal conflict and emotion. We see each main character going through his own struggle. Nothing about this movie is fake. Dialogue between the men in this film goes from jovial to intimate details of family and life.

  Beautiful landscapes of the Turkish countryside make up the bulk of the film. Dialogue is pinned underneath, making the viewer just as involved in the shared misery as the investigators are with themselves.
