darkelf Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's a pretty average indie with some awkward writing and direction that's not all that funny and I thought she wasn't good enough to carry a movie like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) You guys suck. Anywho, I actually have the cheat here because I fucked up my calculations. 15. What We Do In The Shadows - directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement Does for vampires what Spinal Tap did for the music industry. Put that on your poster. Super clever subversion of vampire mythology. I don't think there's a vampire cliche they don't bring up and give a new twist to. As far as comedy scripts go What We Do In The Shadows is one of the best I've seen in a long time. The acting is good too. The vampires all have hammy Eastern European actors which is funny. The four main vampires are perfectly cast, with Taika Waititi's put-upon Viago being the standout. Plus it's knee-slappingly funny. Seek this out when it comes out next year.

4815162342 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 A Most Wanted Man was good, though it felt like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy lite (no surprise since it's from a novel by the same author). I kept waiting for a shoe to drop that never did until the final 5 minutes and by then it kinda deflated a bit of the tension and drive.
