TEN MOST RECENT FILMS WATCHED: GIMME DANGER Jim Jarmusch Tops the list: Catching up on stuff I’d missed at fests and watching some cool “finds” on VOD from Films Gone Wild

I was kinda all over the map with this group of ten films. Bookended by films I’d meant to see or missed at festivals (ELLE, TALLULAH, DEIDRA AND LANEY ROB A TRAIN, GIMME DANGER), the first bit of homework for DIFF (BERLIN SYNDROME), and a couple “look at this good movie with all these stars that made a beeline for VOD (BRIMSTONE, THE HOLLOW POINT).

VOD REVIEWS: Martin Koolhoven ’s BRIMSTONE delivers a brutal, bloody western with three old school star turns by Dakota Fanning, Guy Pearce, and Kit Harrington

Yes, it is unforgivingly violent, and frequently – literally perverse, and twisted, but ultimately the strength of the film falls on the two leads, Fanning and Pearce, as well as a supporting turn by “Game of Thrones” star, Kit Harrington, as a gunslinger who becomes an ally to Liz, during an earlier chapter of her life.
