I'm not entirely sold on the series overall, but if there's one thing I loved, it's Alyssa Milano. This may not be exactly the direction she wants for her career, but I'd love to see her liven up some awful thrillers and horrors.

On the one hand, this sounds like it's probably terrible. But on the other, I'm a big fan of naked men?

The first thing I jumped to was Martyrs. I haven't seen it in years, but the sound of the (sort of) main character running has stayed in my mind ever since. It also works as a great set-up for the film, telling the viewer immediately that they'll be kept on their toes and in the dark for as long as possible. I have no…

I'm usually pretty weary of reviews which describe the film in terms of another movie at such length, but it's really impossible to escape with this movie. It definitely has its own compelling elements because of the setting and social context, but it never quite moved out of Babadook's shadow (ugh, sorry) for me.

I think this movie is better than Videodrome (not that that's a knock - I think this Demonlover's one of the best movies made in the last 20 years or so), honestly, mainly for the final point made here. Videodrome is impressive and influential, but it's still fairly straightforward in a way that I think limits its…

If it helps at all, I think Demonlover and Irma Vep are both fantastic, and I was also really disappointed in the Assayas' direction in Clouds of Sils Maria.

I'm not particularly a fan of financial thrillers (not that I've seen dozens of them, or anything), but this sounds like a really interesting spin on the genre, and I'd follow Anna Gunn most places after Breaking Bad.

I don't really have a lot to contribute to this discussion, but I wanted to comment and say that this is a really great article. The movie gets a lot of flack for the narrative turn it takes, but I think it's also because it partially loses the charm of scenes like this one, where the creators/animators (like the…

I like to think it's never going to get as spartan as that, but I guess that doesn't mean a lot coming from someone who's being crowded out of their room by movies and books.

I think the trailers for The Boss were pretty representative. It has some good laughs, but it's kind of a mess.

I'm a little surprised that Spy and The Devil Wears Prada didn't manage to make the main list. I don't fully love either of them, but they both seem like the kind of movie that should slide into something like this pretty easily.

I finally caught up on Hannibal - I'd stopped at the narrative break in the middle of the third season, so I binged the Red Dragon arc. I felt a little sad about the season's pretentious art film elements being toned down, but it was still a great ending to the show, and I can't imagine a better finale for the show.

Didn't they make her possibly dying into a Twitter poll? If that was serious at all (which I guess it probably wasn't, because Sharknado), how did she survive?

Sad to see so few comments on this! I assume it's getting a pretty tiny release outside of New Zealand, but it's a really fun (if a little familiar) coming of age movie.

If we're thinking of the same person, I think it's Ellen Barkin in Palindromes. Although now I wish it was Barkin here as well, since I thought she was great too.
