Banshees of Inisherin was directed by Martin McDonagh and won a Golden Globe for Best Comedy. Colin Farrell also won a Golden Globe for Best Comedy Actor for his performance. While the film is full of well executed humor, it is the sad story of a friendship ending, legacy, and coming to terms with life's changes. McDonagh has once again written and directed an excellent black comedy.

Goodnight Mommy is an Austrian film directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz. This film takes on very interesting perspective changes as it keeps you moving through its ominous and creepy tone. While this is a horror film, it has a very nuanced family dynamic that makes the story feel more rich and real. We are certain that this is a much better film than the 2022 American version.

The Descent was released in 2005 and was directed by Neil Marshall. This movie was dedicated to his dog that passed during filming and we don't thing the dog would be proud. For a film that follows a group of friends venturing into a cave it lacks any depth. This film is not worth watching but our review is worth listening to.

The Bad Seed was released 1956 and is an adaptation of a stage play by the same name. Many of the actors from the stage play even reprise their roles in the film. The film discusses the merits of nature vs nurture in the most boring way possible, but it is very quotable and a lot of fun to watch!

In Bruges was released in 2008 and was written and directed by Martin McDonagh (Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri). In Bruges is a fantastic black comedy with a surprising amount of depth and nuance. Costars Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell play off each other in an amazing way and deliver some of the best comedic dialog.

Requiem is one of Darren Aronofsky's early films a depict the lives of four drug addicts and their spiral into oblivion. While we think this film is valuable and gives the audience a powerful perspective of addiction it's probably not a great movie for date night.

Noah was released in 2014 and was directed by Darren Aronofsky. This director has tackled biblical stories in other films but in Noah he goes full Bible with his own unique take on the story of the great flood. This film drew the ire of the Catholic church and other denominations as it wasn't the truest adaptation of the Christian story. While this may not be Aronofsky's strongest film it asks real questions and we had an interesting conversation surrounding the characters and message of this film.

Memoria was directed by Apichatpong (Joe) Weerasethakul and was released in theaters in 2021 and will never be released in any other medium or streaming on any service. Memoria is a guided meditative experience where the narrative is loosely defined. This film won't be for everyone but it is worth sitting down and giving a watch if you are willing to try out a different kind of film.
