This week we revisit Alex Proyas' sci-fi entry "Dark City". This came out in a pre-Matrix world, so it was interesting to watch the film in that light. Does it hold up to the same scrutiny as other sci-fi classics or can we see the age of the film after 18 years?

This week we attempt to wade through the many timelines of Shane Carruth's debut film. This independent film (made for $7000) is one of the most complex and scientific time travel movies ever made.

This week we dig into the two movies that inspired the new Magnificent Seven that we talked about last week.

Wong Kar-Wai's 2000 film set in Hong Kong in the 60's focuses on two people who are being cheated on in their respective marriages and the relationship that builds between them.

This Academy Award nominated film from Yorgos Lanthimos (the co-writer/director of last weeks "The Lobster") is another cautionary tale. This time Lanthimos sets his sights on parental love and protection and he asks: To what lengths would you go to "protect" your children? The parents in this movie take the concept to it's absurd extreme and forbid their children from leaving their house and interacting with others. This can only end badly...
