Belko tape dispenses with backstory in Cubicle Royale, a set
of violent Games that leave audiences Hungry for the political implications of
its cinematic inspirations. An amusing psychological experiment fails to come
full Circle as it dishes out exactly the wrong amount of justification and ends
lost in the Woods.

Colossal
Nacho dips into Kaufman-esque surrealism with this monstrous
tale of alcoholism and manipulation. Hatheway’s devastating performance grounds
what could have been a farcical film, and phenomenal character arcs are perfectly
crafted to span half the globe. Comedy and drama trade blows in an entertaining
tonal battle for far-flung emotional impact.
Actors & Director:
Anne Hathaway,
Dan Stevens,
Jason Sudeikis,
Tim Blake Nelson

The Dark Tower
Not only is it more forgettable than a childhood dream, but
it also launches an attack on the newborn Stephen Kingdom (his cinematic
universe) by lessening the impact of It and The Shining. McConaughey’s
woodenness harkens back to his shirtless days, and Idris Elba certainly doesn’t
kill with his performance.
Actors & Director:
Fran Kranz,
Idris Elba,
Jackie Earle Haley,
Matthew McConaughey
