Director : Gabriel Carrer & Reese Eveneshen : Stars : Lora Burke, Nick Smyth & Colin Paradine : FOR THE SAKE OF VICIOUS is completely BONKERS and lives up to its name : the film was shot over 15 days on a lower than low budget with some terrific actors who keep the flow flowing, there’s an intriguing buildup as we get introduced to the film’s characters and then all shit hits the fan and it’s certainly NOT for the faint hearted, this is a BRUTAL pulsating home-invasion pic with hammer weilding, gun shooting, knife sinking CRAZINESS right the way through : what a ride !! ★★★★

Director : Aaron Sorkin : Stars : Joseph Gordon Levitt, Sacha Baron Cohen, Frank Langella, Eddie Redmayne & Yahya Abdul-Mateen II : as movies go I tend to shy away from the courtroom drama, it’s not really my type of jam but Sorkin’s latest THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 is some exceptional film making that’s inventive and grips you from the getko with it’s compelling, humerous & moving dialogue, incredible editing and a cast ensemble that nails each & every scene : everything about the case was corrupt, Langella’s performance as the Judge was astonishing and the 2hr runtime flew by : SUPERB ★★★★½

Director : Florian Zeller : Stars : Anthony Hopkins, Olivia Colman, Mark Gatiss, Olivia Williams : THE FATHER is one of them movies a bit like The Pianist that I put off watching due to it’s sensitive narrative but when I finally took the time to watch it I was blown away, transfixed and not just by some outstanding acting by Anthony Hopkins but for it’s purposefully confusing method of storytelling : here’s a guy in his 80s, at first all seems perfectly normal until you quickly discover he has dementia and the film’s director/writer wants you to feel what he’s feeling, his moods, his surrounding and state of mind are thrown at you like a missile, you don’t know which way to turn, what to believe and Florian Zeller’s clever deliverance of The Father did a number on me, it’s bold approach certainly helped shine a light on this terrible illness and gave me a rather sad yet enjoyable movie experience ★★★★½
