The Master

I don't get it. The acting was phenomenal. The story was creepy and non-sensical. The cast and cinematographers did their jobs well, but the script bombed for me. 4/10

Samsara -

Stunningly beautiful, ghastly, and everything in between without a single word. This movie blew my mind with an incredible array of cultures and multiple forms of collective mind-sets, and it spoke to my gut about deep time. 10/10.

Celeste & Jesse Forever -

If there was ever a way to F...oul up something beautiful, these two should teach a class on it. Then again, maybe they are. This was a lot better than I thought it would be. There's a line in here that cuts to the bone: "I can't believe I'm having..." Damn, I can't believe I can't finish the line at the heart of everything without spoiling it. Pay attention, class. 8/10

The music was nice, too.

Total Recall

Did I just put the burn on the coolest transportation system in the world - literally in the world - or did some nerd with a computer & weird drugs plant that shit in my head? Is the hot brunette with guns on the left my girlfriend, or is the one on the right my wife? Will I ever be done trying to find myself? Will it ever stop being dark and rainy when I get home from work? Will it ever stop being dark, rainy, and explosive in sci-fi flicks? Why did I leave myself alI this electro-bling that I didn't know I knew was there? This movie has its fun points, great effects, and ADHD action flashes, and a scowling Kate Beckinsale in tight pants,  but you'll never really know if any of these questions are answered, or if it's all just a dream. Fun, though. 6/10
