It has been a very long week and I’m thankful it’s finally the weekend as I need a moment to relax. On top of everything I was able to get done this week I still have a review of Criterion’s L’eclisse Blu-ray to write along with reviews of Snowpiercer and The Rover, all three of which I will have you next week along with my next Werner Herzog review, which will be Fata Morgana.
I will, however, say this about The Rover, …

…this was not the movie I expected form a narrative standpoint and when it comes to post-apocalyptic features, Snowpiercer and The Rover are both solid entries, though only The Rover makes it onto my Best of 2014 list. The key to both movies is in the ending so do yourself a favor, if you’re interested in either of them stay away from any kind of spoilers and try to see them knowing as little as possible. You’ll be all the better for it, though I have a feeling more of you will be floored by The Rover and possibly a little let down by Snowpiercer as the hyperbole on that one is a little out of control, but it’s a good movie.
Next week I’ll also be seeing Jersey Boys and Think Like a Man Too and I’m debating seeing Third Person as I’ve heard nothing but bad things about it.
Other than that, have a good weekend and thanks for reading this initial week of journal entries. Speaking of which, do you like this little addition?
