Trippy, another time travel movie whose idea is greater than it’s execution, but hell if it doesn’t try, it’s a movie that’ll spark a thousand conversations.

The Babadook
Slow and plodding, it’s artfully executed with a terrific performance by Essie Davis, but it just didn’t strike a chord with me.
★★★✩✩
Limitless
Based whole cloth on a fallacy which is usually enough to sink a film for me, but in this case the cast is so charming and capable in this thrilling story that it just doesn’t matter.
★★★★✩
Sin City
Cartoonishly violent, this ultra stylistic graphic novel adaption is a crazy noir romp that feels decidedly more camp than deadpan, keeping faithful to the source.
★★★✩✩
Wolf of Wall Street
It’s not subtle, but it never made any promises of being so: it’s brash, loud, and depraved, but brilliant and oh so much fun; Scorsese and DiCaprio at their best.
