Howard's end of the world


10 Cloverfield Lane

Crit
Let's see, what can I even tell you about this? Mainly, I guess, that it's the scariest you've ever seen John Goodman, and no, I haven't forgotten Barton Fink. Well, one more thing: yes, it really is as good as everyone is saying, and I can testify that not having seen Cloverfield is no impediment to your enjoyment.


El abrazo de la serpiente (Embrace of the serpent)

Crit
Weird, beautiful, poetic, psychotropic black-and-white (well, almost exclusively) fever dream about white people misunderstanding Amazonia. It's a little bit Heart of Darkness, a little bit Faulkner's "The Bear," a little bit 2001, a little bit Hunter S. Thompson, except that Hunter would have shot someone and been killed and probably eaten. Not that he'd have minded.
