    The Strange One

    Jack Garfein directs a 100 minute drama starring Ben Gazzara as a military school bully.

    I took one look at the cover and my gaydar went off the charts, and shortly after a bit of reading revealed I wasn't the only one.
    And it seems the source material was explicit about this, artifacts remain in the film, such as the leery writer, the awkward glasses guy, the bare chests.

    The Baader-Meinhof Gang on Trial

    ★★★½

    Or that person who said they discovered a cool "anime" then gives you some American cartoon in an…

    Dunkirk

    Dunkirk is a 100 minute action/war film directed by Christopher Nolan, it stars Tom Hardy and focuses on the British naval escape from Dunkirk during the second world war.

    Allow me to get something out of the way, I am not a fan of Christopher Nolan, I found Interstellar syrupy and condescending in its exposition, Memento and Insomnia, Inception as self-important crime films which consider themselves more than they actually are, I’ll take the old Batman films (Burton and…
