The 50 Word Review

Dogma 95-cinema at its best, Mifune’s storytelling combines unforgiving realism with an erratic charm that leaves you strangely uplifted. Despite the film’s dealing with one of Dogma’s favourite topics – dysfunctional family life – Mifune has a heart-warming quality that turns it into the possibly most unlikely feel-good film ever.

Michael Madsen stars in this average movie about the trials of excesses, and where it leads you. He is a failed financial speculator drawn into a scheme of murder, deceit, and drug-deals. Que event followed by escape to Beijing. Everyone is out to get everyone else,and has their own agenda, leaving only a very unsatisfying ending. Brian Murray

Starring Steve Carell as an ‘Agony Uncle’ - who dishes out tales of caution and morality - as a single parent. He falls for his brother’s girlfriend, falls foul of his siblings, and children, and realizes that he is not the perfect person, or parent that he always wrote about in his column. There’s a moral in there somewhere. Brian Murray

A movie about a disconnected sociopath who kidnaps pretty women and keeps them caged in his basement for company. He treats them well, until they do something, and then “something happens to them.“ It‘s never his fault. A budget horror movie that never really takes off and barely keeps itself afloat in the genre. Brian Murray
