After Dark, My Sweet

Misfiriing 90's noir, with Jason Patric as a hobo boxer, getting into trouble in a small town.

Halliwell says: Wildly melodramatic thriller with dull performances.

Ned Kelly

Ineffective Aussie outlaw epic. Nicely shot, but hampered by a poor script and weak direction.

Derivative, post-apocalyptic drivel. Denzel and Gary Oldman should know better.

Blue Tongue Films

I was so impressed by David Michod's debut feature Animal Kingdom that I've spent the last few days stalking him and his friends on the internet. Turns out they have a film collective called BlueTonguefilms that have put out a swathe of excellent short films, including Crossbow (something of a precursor to Animal Kingdom) and Oscar Nominee Miracle Fish. Also don't miss the excellent Netherland Dwarf, or Nash Edgerton's Spider.
