Flick Pick of the Week: The Brothers Bloom
Cool con film. Even though Adrien Brody is the lead, Mark Ruffalo steals the show. A ton of twists and turns, maybe one too many, but it works with the quirky characters. Clever ending. So far I’m a fan of every film by Director Rian Johnson.
Flick Pick of the Week: The Cooler
Little darker than what the trailer hints at, but an unusual plot & quirky. William H Macy does a a good job as the lead. However, Alec Baldwin steals the film as this might be his most underrated work ever. I’d recommend it to someone just for his part.
Flick Pick of the Week: The Wages of Fear
Yes it’s a French film, yes it’s in subtitles, and yes it’s really old (1953). But get some culture in you and tell me some of the suspense scenes doesn’t have you holding your breath. The ending will either leave you laughing or with your jaw on the floor.
Flick Pick of the Week: The Grey
I watched this last year, and it made a huge impression on me. A man just wants to get home to see his family, and is upended by a plane crash, wolves, and nature.
It was never going to win any Oscars, but it was going to win over a lot of people who like Liam Neeson.
Flick Pick of the Week: Safety Not Guaranteed
Totally surprised by this film. Knew going in the cast is great, but knew nothing about the plot. I was sucked in after 15 minutes and was texting my sister that she needed to see this asap. Mark Duplass best acting job so far. Jack Johnson and Aubrey Plaza were hysterical.

Flick Pick of the Week: Sexy Beast
Ben Kingsley is a madman in this. He would seriously leave you peeing your pants and sucking your thumb in the corner by the end of it.

Flick Pick of the Week: The King of Kong - Fistful of Quarters
A great documentary about this David versus Goliath matchup in the gamer world. In this specific case, Donkey Kong. Not sure about you, but I could never get pass the third level. Stupid elevators.
