How to Sell a Banksy

Review: A documentary about a guy trying to sell one of Banksy's street pieces. Nothing more, nothing less.

Captain America: Civil War

Captain America: Civil War

Review: I wasn't super impressed when the first Captain America movie came out. I've always thought of the Cap as too much of a goody two shoes to be really interesting. But that has changed through out the different Marvel movies that he's been a part of, and Captain America: Civil War is a really good film. I dug it!

Rating: 7.5/10

Chuck Norris vs. Communism

Chuck Norris vs. Communism

Review: Interesting documentary about how in communist Romania, thousands of Western films on bootleg VHS tapes — mostly Hollywood action movies  — were smuggled behind the Iron Curtain, opening a window into the free world. Worth checking out as an historical document. 

Rating: 5.5/10


Special Correspondents

Special Correspondents

Review: I love Ricky Gervais as a comedian. When he's trying to be a proper actor however, he always fall a bit short. Special Correspondents is a remake of the French movie Envoyés très spéciaux. I haven't seen the original, but I kind of hoping that it's better than this version at least. Because Ricky's version is no good. 

Rating: 4/10


Team Foxcatcher

Team Foxcatcher

Review: A really well-made documentary about Team Foxcatcher and the tragedies that surrounded it. No matter if you've seen the film Foxcatcher or not, I think you might find this documentary worth watching. 

Rating: 6.5/10


Where to Invade Next

Where to Invade Next

Review: Michael Moore's films are always entertaining, and that also goes for Where to Invade Next. His films are always a bit too easily digested too to be honest, so you feel that it's only lightweight entertainment. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. 

Rating: 6.5/10


Daft Punk Unchained

Daft Punk Unchained

Review: I wasn't expecting much of this documentary about Daft Punk to be honest, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was warmer and more personal than I had expected. 

Rating: 6/10
