Movie Reviews
Sinners – Dir: Ryan Coogler (13th Floor Film Review)
The Cotton Club crossed with from Dusk to Dawn…the bodacious, bold, and brilliant Sinners will pull you in and whirl you around the juke joint, leaving you breathless, blood spattered and extremely satisfied.
Warfare – Dir: Alex Garland (13th Floor Film Review)
Warfare is director Alex Garland’s latest boots on the ground account of a Navy seal operation gone awry, based upon the memories of Iraqi veteran and co-director Ray Mendoza, its an endurance test that lacks emotional payoff.
Drop – Dir: Christopher Landon (13th Floor Film review)
Drop picks you up and carries you along for the ride dragging your reservations about all those yawning plot holes behind you.
The Penguin Lessons – Dir: Peter Cattaneo (13th Floor Film Review)
In The Penguin Lessons, The Full Monty’s Peter Cattaneo helms a sweet natured tale of redemption via Penguin set against a backdrop of political unrest.
Death Of A Unicorn Dir: Alex Scharfman (13th Floor Film Review)
Is it comedy, fantasy, horror, satire or drama? Death Of A Unicorn is a mysterious thing, much like an actual unicorn, but, unfortunately, not as interesting.
Novocaine – Dir: Dan Bert & Robert Olsen (13th Floor Film Review)
To say that a film moves at breakneck pace is an overworked trope, but this movie really earns the accolade.
A Working Man – Dir: David Ayer (13th Floor Film Review)
When we last saw Jason Statham, he was a Beekeeper, now he is just A Working Man…a blue collar everyman who just happens to have something close to superhuman powers.
Becoming Led Zeppelin Dir: Bernard MacMahon (13th Floor Film Review)
While it doesn’t tell the whole story, this “first officially sanctioned” Led Zeppelin documentary does a very good job of telling how the band got started and what made them so sonically exciting.
A Complete Unknown – Dir: James Mangold (13th Floor Film Review)
It’s finally here! James Mangold’s highly-anticipated Bob Dylan biopic opens in New Zealand cinemas today. So, was it worth the wait? In a word…yes.
