    The Apprentice

    ★★★½

    incredible acting from stan and strong, on the edge of humanizing these monstrous figures but somehow their performances leave something alien and unforgivable too central to their lives for the audience to cross into sympathy

  • The Rainmaker

    The Rainmaker

    ★★★

    a fine film that rightfully attacks big health insurance. sometimes it takes a sleazeball to bring down a scumbag.

    the battered wife love interest subplot was weird, especially when matt damon called her a loser.

    for people who have OBVIOUSLY seen the wizard of oz, gee whiz

  • Possession

    Possession

    ★★★★★

    totally chilling, uncomfortably real despite its insistence on the surreal

    the heady dialogue a perfect art house match to the stiff, grotesque madness nestled between the mundane elements of life

    this film gave me apartment envy, the colors were on and every nod of the head suggests some mysterious symbolism that begs to be unleashed by you lingering longer on the madness

    i can’t tell how deep the sociopolitical commentary is supposed to go but fun to find looming in the backdrop

    so good!
