Seven Psychopaths (2012)

Doesn't quite make the cut

A dog-napper dognaps a gangster's dog.  Mayhem ensues.  Actually the rest is slightly more interesting.than that, but not by much.  It felt a lot like a Tarantino or Guy Ritchie rip off.  It wasn't clever enough, didn't have enough plot twists, and no real element of surprise.  Overall, not a bad movie, but neither is it a great one.

Seven Psychopaths gets a very sane 3 out 5 Poblanos!

Bunraku (2010)


Vengeance is dish best served cold
A mash up between a comic book, a Tarantino flick, Natural Born Killers, and The Science of Sleep, Bunraku plays out like a dystopian fairly tale. I love the mix of animation, origami, and live action. The sets are fantastic as are the costumes. There are some really amazing shots (be on the lookout for Josh Hartnett's jail break-in). Very watchable, very enjoyable, and very fun. 

Bunraku knocks me over with 4 out of 5 Poblanos!

Director: Guy Moshe
Writer: Boaz Davidson (story), Guy Moshe (screenplay)
