What are 2011’s most overlooked films? The Guard and Take Shelter are on some Top Ten lists, including mine, but they still haven’t gotten the buzz that they deserve. These are two of the very best films of the year and are not to be missed.
Kill the Irishman is a gritty crime drama with a charismatic lead performance by Ray Stevenson.
Terri is something completely new in a teen mifit movie.
As in most films by the master director-writer-editor John Sayles, the historical drama Amigo intertwines the stories of a large ensemble cast while keeping each character recognizable, distinct and textured.
For a guilty pleasure, I will go with TrollHunter, a hilariously deadpan Norwegian take on the horror genre.
