    We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) The mother of a teenage boy who went on a high-school killing spree tries to deal with her grief - and feelings of responsibility for her child’s actions. Based on the novel by Lionel Shriver. “Why would I not understand the context? I am the context.” How to create a monster. A tremendous family drama, centered on maternal love and self destruction. An absolutely engaging experience, visually and emotionally. Tilda Swinton rocked the fuck outta this one! Portraying the frustrated mother who can’t seem to get things right. We see her life slowly sucked away by her antagonist son Kevin. A smart and cunning boy with grand plans. Blind-as-a-bat husband John C. Reilly flexes his dramatic muscles. Blurring the lines of cause and effect in this suburban tragedy. The voice of reason… or is it? KEVIN! was well performed and intriguing in all ages. Ezra Miller did a spectacular job as the teen. His eyes and demeanor was frightening and yet a glimmer of light shone through those dark eyes. His younger counterparts Jasper Newell and Rock Duer swung it home. Giving life to the troubled boy. Jumps between infant, toddler, teen and current times might/may confuse some viewers at first. It will all become clear in the end. Hints and clues lead up to the heartbreaking reality. The cinematography was be-a-u-ti-fucking-ful! And the script was compelling. The grand finale was one to remember. Depressingly gorgeous and whimsically dramatic. Tough love.

    Pandorum (2009) A pair of crew members aboard a spaceship wake up with no knowledge of their mission or their identities. An amazing horror sci-fi adventure! I’m wondering why i labeled it in the “forgettable” list. Thankfully i got a round 2. Very reminiscent of great sci-fi horrors like Event Horizon (1997) and Alien (1979) mixed with some post-apocalyptic humanoids creatures, which have adapted to their environment. This dark and mysterious journey is headed by Dennis Quaid, who i think suited the horror genre quite well. With him is Ben Foster, who has impressed me in this 2nd viewing. He pulled it off. Then you gotta have ‘the annoying guy” played by Cam Gigandet. The only real female cast member is Antje Traue, who is one to look out for (noted). It was a pleasant surprise to find out who was responsible for this space horror, he is the man who gave us the much enjoyed serial killer horror Antibodies (2005), German director Christian Alvart.  Nothing spectacular, but pretty decent, when compared to shitty sci-fi horrors to have come out the last few years. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188729/
