Hobo with a Shotgun

Rutger Hauer as a crazed hobo dealing justice one shell at a time. What's not to like? Read the review here.

The Guard

Brendan Gleeson's best turn since The General. This is standard stuff, but damn if Gleeson doesn't turn it into something greater. Read the review here.

The Greatest Movie Ever Sold

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

Smarter in concept than execution, but still a heap of fun. Read the review here.

13 Assassins

Samurai carnage like you've never seen before. A solid hour of crazed battle. Read the review here.
