Movie Review: The Bad Batch
  |  @   |  

The Bad Batch
Written & Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour
Cast: Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa, Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi, Jim Carrey, Jayda Fink
Annapurna Pictures | Neon Films
Rated R | 115 Minutes
Release Date: June 23rd, 2017

In 2014’s A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour showcased her unique style, blending genres while maintaining a minimalist approach. Her Iranian vampire/spaghetti western film earned international acclaim, but also garnered a lot of reviews uttering the phrase “style over substance.” In her latest film, The Bad Batch, she adheres to all of these traits, positive and negative, again. The Bad Batch is at times brutally violent, at times wonderfully poignant, and all together completely bizarre. It’s one of those films where it ends and you kind of just sit there pondering for a few seconds as the credits roll. What did I just watch? Did I love this movie or hate it? The one thing that sticks with me is what I wrote mid-film, “This is like if Mad max f*cked The Neon Demon.”

Spoilers below.

John Boyega Joins Kathryn Bigelow’s Untitled 1967 Detroit Riots Project
  |  @   |  

Last year, John Boyega became a household name simply by starring in a little film called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Everyone in the film gave a standout performance, which is sure to carry over to the next two films, but the young actor isn’t pigeonholing himself to just one franchise or genre. In these past few months, he has already signed on to appear in James Pansoldt’s The Circle, which stars Emma Watson and Tom Hanks. In April, it was announced that he would lend his voice to the Netflix-BBC’s telling of Watership Down, where he can be heard alongside James McAvoy and Ben Kingsley. And just a couple of weeks ago, it was confirmed that he’ll play Idris Elba’s on-screen son in Pacific Rim 2.

But he isn’t stopping there. In fact, he may be gearing up for some Oscar gold as he is the latest addition to Kathryn Bigelow‘s film about the 1967 Detroit Riots.
