REMEMBER [2015]

After a long string of universally panned films, Canadian director Atom Egoyan redeems himself a bit with the mystery drama Remember.
An elderly Auschwitz concentration camp survivor, suffering from dementia, travels across the Canada & the U.S. to hunt down and kill the blockfuhrer responsible for the death of his family.
Christopher Plummer brings a heartbreaking dignity and powerful subtly to his role, that is well worth the price of admission and more.  However it's the jumbled script, filled with way too many far-fetched coincidences to believe in the what should be a more humbling story.  Get past the silliness of it all and you have yourself a well-acted revenge drama that has it's fair share of intense moments of drama and heartbreak.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

Pulp horror writer Sutter Cane has disappeared, and his readers are slowly going ape-shit; John Trent (Sam Neill) is drafted in to find an answer. His search leads him to a place called Hobb's End, a place that shouldn't exist.
Carpenter's most fantastical film is a blast of pure entertainment from start to finish. It’s the bastard child of a Lovecraft demon and a Stephen King protagonist running naked through film conventions in a loving homage wed to an astute parody of the horror genre as a whole. Sam Neill is fantastic, as always. My only criticism is that it should've been longer.
