The Kid Detective: I went into this one super blind, only knowing the few sentences of a plot. Ended up really liking the sensibility of this one, quirky and fun story that turned kind of noir-ish surprisingly. Adam Brody did a real good job in the main role as this down and out dude who is reeling from his former glory and notoriety as the neighborhood kid detective back in his younger days. As he struggles to regain what he had back in the day, he is put on a murder case that goes into many unique directions and helps him regain that old glory. This is a hidden gem for sure.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow: This was another surprisingly fantastic film recently released in limited release in theaters. I'm kinda shocked there are quality indie films in theaters right now after a few months of generally trash being released. Jim Cummings wrote, directed, and starred in this great little fast paced comedy horror about a murder mystery in a small town. Cummings plays a neurotic cynical hot mess of a sheriff, trying to crack the case but being stifled at every corner by townie idiots and ridiculous situations. Well worth checking out.
Honest Thief: Liam Neeson cookie cutter film, ya know the type, people start fucking with him and his family, and he is out for revenge. The story was alright, but so very much the standard with the formula Neeson has fell into the last decade. On a side note, this film had no right to be in IMAX. Its' action scenes were weak as fuck, there was no reason for that format to take it on really. Plot-holes-a-plenty too so you've been warned.
