It’s movie time for the Popcorn gentlemen. Which normally means a three-fer of a review. We like to shake it up every once in awhile and do two dual reviews. It doesn’t take us any less work but then you get less reviews. Or maybe you get better analysis because we’ve both focused on the two films. Rather than simply reacting to what the other remembers, infallibly, about their individual watch.
First up is The Best Offer[2013]. Geoffrey Rush plays Virgil Oldman. Like the Kojima character he’s modeled off of, Virgil is old and a man. He’s an auctioneer and evaluates art. He gets called into review an estate by an oddly reclusive woman who’s parents have died. She’s a shut in which gets the curiosity of Virgil. There’s a lot more to it and we delve a little more though we don’t want to spoil the thrust.
Next up is Citizen Vigilante[2026]. Yes the movie everyone is glazing as the return of Uwe Boll. Staring Armie Hammer as the titular Citizen. He goes around getting vengeance and also fucking prostitutes for some reason. He also drugs some would be date rapists. It’s an Uwe Boll film so there’s a lot of gore and it’s a subtle as a sledge to the nuts.
