Robot & Frank

Frank Langella plays Frank, a semi-retired burglar with an ailing memory, a son named Hunter (James Marsden) and a daughter named Madison (Liv Tyler). Both worry about their old man living alone and so Hunter gets Frank a robotic butler that not only knows how to whip up a kickass breakfast but which also comes with Peter Sarsgaard’s voice.

The Clinic

It’s 1979 and a very pregnant Beth and her fiancée Cameron are crossing the Aussie outback to celebrate Christmas with Beth’s family. They pull over for the night at some dingy motel and when Cameron returns after going into town for a spell, he finds Beth missing. Hey wait, haven’t we already seen this movie like a zillion times before? Well yeah, at least the first part but that is before things get batshit crazy!

Killer Joe

Director William Friedkin may be 77 years old, he most definitely did not go soft on us since the day he let a teenage girl masturbate with a cross and throw up on a priest in “The Exorcist”.

 

Game Of Thrones Season 2

I have to say it took me a while to get into Game Of Thrones, the TV series based on the books by George R.R. Martin. The first episodes of the first season didn’t really do it for me. Once I was aboard though, I was seriously looking forward to the second season and I have to say that the new episodes deliver in a big way.

Bronson

The UK’s most violent prisoner ever got his own movie with “Bronson”, which came out originally in 2009 and is now being re-released. Centered around Michael Peterson (who later took the name Charles Bronson), this biopic tells the story of a petty criminal who grew into a seemingly raving lunatic while spending 34 years behind bars, most of those in solitary confinement. Not bad for a guy who was originally convicted to just seven years in prison.

Sinister

Ellison Oswald (Ethan Hawke) is a true crime writer who’s looking for a new hit. Desperate to relive his fifteen minutes of fame,  he and his family move to the house where a year prior a gruesome quadruple murder took place. Of course, he fails to mention this little bit of trivia to his wife because let’s face it, it’s not exactly the kind of thing the wife would want to hear when you have a kid that’s already prone to night terrors.
