    Fisherman's Friends

    ★★½

    Heavily fictionalized version of the discovery and signing of Cornish folk musician group “Fisherman’s Friends”. Nice story and some okay performances but lacking in depth, narrative tension, and originality.

  • Maximum Overdrive

    Maximum Overdrive

    ★★½

    Not a great film but definitely an off-the-walls, fun movie. An ATM calling people assholes (notably the director of the film in his cameo), a soda machine murdering people by shooting the cans out, and marauding Mack trucks are just some of the highlights.

    ★★★★

    Bad-ass film. Dev Patel is great as a laconic man seeking revenge against powerful men, brutal fight scenes balanced by slower moments of reminiscences and interactions with social commentary import.

  • The Evil Dead

    The Evil Dead

    ★★★½

    The beginning of a 35+ year-old franchise (films, television, comics, etc.). It takes itself more serious than the later films, but is a quality cult film with some good black humor thrown in. Shot on a small budget, it nevertheless maintains a creepy feel throughout the film (I love the low-to-the-ground, rushing camera work).
