Great gem of a movie that explains pretty well how we got here Recommendation

Even though the country wasn’t so bad after Dabya, imo it’s honestly where it all went wrong in the modern era. And it all started with a corrupt person who should have stayed in the private sector.

A House of Dynamite Recommendation

by

Katherine Bigalow is one of the best. This was pretty intense thriller. The story unfolds in Rashomon style. You get four distinct perspectives on the same 20 minute event. It starts intense and never lets up.

Chronicle Recommendation

by

I just watched the “domestic” directors cut of this, It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it so I’m not sure what’s really different. It really doesn’t matter cause it’s such a great movie.
