    Source Code

    ★★★½

    The second spin on the 'Groundhog Day' premise that a specific time must be revisited, reexperienced and reexamine for the movie's narrative to able to progress. And the beauty of this piece is that it seems scientifically plausible and therefore within reach.Very contemporary in its issues although still just a little too cleanly naturalistic in its representation of character..

    In a World...

    ★★★★

    An insider's view from the outside wanting inside. Invigorating, fresh and unconventional. Pushes you along in a knowing intelligent way that neatly refuses to indulge in conventional devices to haul you along..it does however resort to a happy ending albeit one more realistic that one suggested by its industry template.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    ★★★

    A surprise in the most delicious sense of the word: a shocker thats actually not shocking due to its heavy domestic content but that still manages to maintain a shadowy sense of menace. Embed in this a loose storyline and enough interest in the characters and the overall premise that Vampires too have their fair share of mundanity wins out through the clever jokes. Evening In. Undead Friends. Popcorn. Garlic.
