Guy Pearce
Two Brothers (2004)
Duma (2005)
Grabs for the gut by stoking primal understandings about our loving but tragically distant relationship with the wild.
The Proposition (2006)
Cave uses the taming of Australia as the backdrop for a nasty, dirty western about the implications of violence.
Factory Girl (2007)
Sedgwick's thoroughly photographed life would doubtless make an engrossing documentary (a genre to which Hickenlooper ought to stick)...
First Snow (2007)
L.A. Confidential (1997)
A modern cinematic classic...the alchemical reaction of a director and a charmed collaboration of actors, writers, and design artists...
Bedtime Stories (2008)
The Hurt Locker (2009)
With the help of a well-informed screenplay by journalist Mark Boal, Bigelow dispenses with the red-wire/blue-wire lies Hollywood told you and replaces them with a heady brew of documentary realism and action poetry.
The Road (2009)
A potent and distinctly philosophical morality play about human instinct, the moral cost of survival, and a father’s love for his child...
Animal Kingdom (2010)
A “human nature film,” a crime drama that observes cops and robbers in their natural habitat and studies their instinctual behaviors.
Memento (2001)
Nolan built a better mousetrap of a neo-noir, using the tricky gimmick of a complex, purposefully disorienting narrative.
The King's Speech (2010)
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (2011)
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
When it comes to swashbucklers, I'll take Wolpert's unmolested molestation of Dumas over
Pirates of the Caribbean
any day of the week.
Prometheus (2012)
Maybe
Prometheus
is deep, after all, with Weyland Corporation standing in for 20th Century Fox in an allegory for Scott's artistic aspirations: funding and undermining his ambitions at the same time.
Lawless (2012)
Tough-minded...In recounting 'the Great Franklin County Moonshine Conspiracy,'
Lawless
does not lack for local color and local legend.
Equals (2016)
Too closely resembles the narcotic world it depicts. Without ever doing anything conspicuously wrong,
Equals
plays like one big miscalculation...
Memory (2022)
You can pretty much forget about it.
