An honest look at an artist facing a creative struggle with plenty of laughs and food culture. This one made me smile… and it’s Craig-approved!

Completely ridiculous but had a few laughs. The airbag gig was the highlight.

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Expectedly not as strong as the first. Brolan is no Clive Owen as Dwight, but newcomers Eva Green and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a fun new story with Nancy make for an enjoyable sit.

The One I Love

A truly unique film. Moss & Duplass are fantastic. A thinking person’s film – will result in lots of questions (which is part of the fun).

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Amazing art direction but felt slow and long. Fiennes is great and there’s some enjoyable visual gags.

The story and action were fantastic… until about 2/3 of the way through the movie when things abruptly shift and became increasingly unrealistic.

To the Wonder

Malick’s last directed movie. Captures his spirit with beautiful cinematography but not as captivating as The Tree of Life – see that one to get your Malick fix.

Excellent characters, great performances, and ridiculous costumes… but what’s the story? Sizzle but no steak.

Catching Fire

Better than than The Hunger Games. Lawrence is fantastic and the movie’s pace makes for an intense – if abrupt – ending. See it!
