1) "88"(2015) -- Neat "Memento" like independent thriller about a girl who enters a fuge state and bad things follow. Very dark, but manages to stay interesting throughout. Katherine Isabel is awesome, as always, and Christopher Lloyd plays a significant role. If you enjoy Tarantino films, you'll like this one. *** out of **** stars.
2) "3 Days to Kill" -- Costner delivers, as usual, in this Luc Besson co-written dramatic thriller. I particularly enjoyed how they melded a father/daughter drama together with a CIA hitman flick. While not quite as strong as Costner's previous "Mr. Brooks"(which is truly an exceptional film), the picture works and was fun to watch. Good movie, overall. *** out of **** stars.
My turd sense is tingling. I haven't seen a stinker in three weeks now, and am due to slip in my screening process I use to weed out the good from trash before I watch, and pluck a bad one from the bin...
