Critical Viewings

I was asked to think of a list of films that I would like to watch and review critically. I was did not want to make it an exclusively art house list, so I have included some films that seem interesting and left me wanting to watch it. Bellow I will list the name of the film, the director, and a link to a trailer for each film. I will start to review these films and will dedicate a post for each including a more in-depth examination of the production team and a critical write up on the story.
