    The Wild Blue Yonder

    Chill movie to see alone at Metrograph. With each walkout, the dwindling audience was brought closer together. A weird ride but not without its charms. Brad Dourif is so believable as a ticked off alien I started to question if he was actually under deep cover as Sarumon’s anemic henchman in the Two Towers. If aliens visit Earth, I can only hope they get to meet Werner Herzog first. He would be my top pick for humanity’s galactic ambassador. HLFR

    ★★★★★

    Sicario meets the Fast and Furious franchise. That is the highest compliment I can give. And the Oscars for best use of Numb/Encore, horniest go-fast boat ride, most nonsensical Aryan Brotherhood cameo and peak erotic crying during a sex scene go to: Michael Mann’s Miami Vice. Honorable mentions for Colin Farrell’s double ponytail and his nuanced performance. All the more impressive because he was high during production and doesn’t remember a damn thing. His glazed restraint is upended in the second act. I too would risk it all for Gong Li. HLFR
