Nightcrawler *
An unemployment
lunatic, who has been driven to thievery, finds a job in the world of LA crime
journalism.
Unsettling thriller/black comedy that is far too
satisfied with itself and its rather obvious delineations on the corruption of
human decency to be at all illuminating, despite a committed central
performance.

Exodus: Gods and Kings
The defiant
leader Moses rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 600,000
slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of
deadly plagues.
Bombastic, one-note retelling of a familiar tale with
plenty of archaic destruction, none of which is particularly striking or memorable.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No
Good, Very Bad Day
A young boy who
hates his life makes a birthday wish that the rest of his family will have a
terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Vulgar series of sketches devoid of cause and effect,
with everything happening randomly to the point of intellectual bewilderment.
It’s not funny, either.
