after school special


i've recently found out for those of us with nova membership cards, each thursday release of a new film means a big, fat saving. i tell you paying $11 for a movie instead of $17-18 will ensure that i get to as many thursday films as possible. unless it's a freebie of course, then the sky's the limit.

margin call. intensely thrilling, but not in that psycho death or car chase way. a really well written and directed film by j.s. chandor. it had me engaged the whole way through, except for those few times when i had my film-writer cap on and just marveled how one small action replaced the need for a whole lot of dialogue. blah blah blah. i know, me and films. anyway, a great ensemble piece lead by kevin spacey. see it. it's clever. oh and it's about the players of an investment bank the night/ day leading up to the financial crisis in 2008. not as dull as it sounds, honest.
