NOBODY Director: Ilya NaishullerStarring: Bob Odenkirk, Christopher Lloyd, Aleksey Serebryakov, Connie Nielsen, RZA, Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath When you think about the great character actors working today, Bob Odenkirk should come to mind. He stars as Hutch Mansell. We see him going about a very repetitive day to day routine with exercise, taking the Metro to work, and being with his family. You get the impression he’s a nobody in other people’s minds. His home is broken into in the middle of the night sending Hutch down a rabbit hole of revenge. This escalates into a fantastic fight scene on a bus and a RussianRead More →

The 2003 film is notoriously lauded as one of the worst films of all time. I can attest that the rhetoric behind it is unquestionably true. The performances are terrible, the dialogue is laughable, and there are continuity errors and focusing problems throughout. It’s one of those midnight movies you watch with a crowd to laugh with and revel in its lunacy.Read More →
