Directed by Terrence Malick A Hollywood screenwriter, Rick (Christian Bale) wanders the world in search of something, like a ghost. His fragmented odyssey is similar to other Malick dreams, in which characters explore their environment alongside orchestral music, breathy voiceover and very wide angle lenses.

Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)
Directed by John Carpenter John Carpenter and Chevy Chase make for an unlikely duo in Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Chase plays Nick Halloway, a narcissist broker living in San Francisco who's not unlike Fletch or any other number of Chase personas, and just like in that 1985 film he finds himself embroiled in a plot … Continue reading Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)
Unfriended (2014)

The computer screen, reflective … Continue reading Unfriended (2014)

At one point during the soothing, walk and talk movie, Jin (John Cho) points out to Casey (Haley Lu Richardson) that their respective problems aren't easy to solve because, this "isn't a movie." It's one … Continue reading Columbus (2017) [Revisited]
The Ring (2002)
Directed by Gore Verbinski The Ring is much more of a detective story than a true horror film.

When a young girl dies in the cold … Continue reading The Ring (2002)
