    Arrival

    ★★★½

    Good movie, I am kind of not sure about the pacing in how it felt like the first 1/3rd of the movie was more like the climax. Unique take on manipulating time in sci-fi however.

  • The Departed

    The Departed

    ★★★★½

    I’m almost hesitant to write any review at all because everyone just has to go and watch this movie. The plot twists, the pacing, the stacked cast. This movie is a masterpiece.

    Margin Call

    ★★★★

    The story is an intriguing drama loosely based off of the fall of the Lehman Brothers, capturing a story of a 24 hour period where the financial crisis is first realized by the bank. I love Paul Bettany and Kevin Spacey in this one. The soundtrack is fantastic as well and captures the suspense of what is to come, in a way that makes the movie feel just as much as a mystery as it is a devastation. They have some great dialogue that captures the overall attitude of the bankers and general citizens that contributed to the 2008 crisis in the first place.

    ★★★½

    “I need this gem man”, -KG. I love the way the production team uses colors in this film. While the overall plot of this story may be slightly formulaic, it is still able to cause an anxiety inducing experience.
