031. 02/14 – Nebraska* – “An aging, booze-addled father makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize.” Bruce Dern gives the performance of a lifetime in this. He’d better get an Oscar! (Cinema) 8/10
032. 02/15 – After the Dark* – “At an international school in Jakarta, a philosophy teacher challenges his class of twenty graduating seniors to choose which ten of them would take shelter underground and reboot the human race in the event of a nuclear apocalypse.” Dull and repetitious. (VOD) 5/10
033. 02/16 – Lionman II: The Witchqueen* – “A young man who has been raised by a witch uses his claw-like hands to battle his enemies and rescue a princess.” Awesomely horrible sequel. Recommended to those who like bad films suck as myself! Sorry, no trailer. (bootleg) 6/10
034. 02/16 – Cash Crop* – An epic West Coast adventure to the heart of the Emerald Triangle and America’s #1 Cash Crop. Decent weed doc. (Netflix) 6/10
035. 02/21 – Unidentified* – “During a wild weekend in Las Vegas, four young friends get into trouble with a loan shark and must skip town in a hurry. But gambling problems may be the least of their worries after they get stranded in the Nevada desert. One of the guys discovers a mysterious metal fragment, then promptly goes missing during the night. When the remaining three catch up with their lost friend, there’s something different about him. As his condition worsens, the others realize that something unearthly might be stalking them in the desert.” Good enough found footage film. (VOD) 6/10
036. 02/22 – Cop Land – “The sheriff of a suburban New Jersey community populated by New York City policemen slowly discovers the town is a front for mob connections and corruption.” Great cast and a pretty solid film overall. (Netflix) 6/10
037. 02/22 – Super Troopers – “Five Vermont state troopers, avid pranksters with a knack for screwing up, try to save their jobs and out-do the local police department by solving a crime.” Horrible acting but oh so funny! (Netflix) 7/10
038. 02/23 – Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic* – Good documentary about the career of Richard Pryor that included a lot of info I was not aware of. (VOD) 6/10
039. 02/23 – Buck Wild* – “A hunting vacation goes horribly awry for 4 friends after they accidentally shoot the lease’s land owner.” Entertaining zombie comedy with Patient Zero being the result of a Chupacabra bite. (VOD) 6/10
