TOTALLY DOPE MUST-SEE MOVIES!

The Card Counter

Oscar Isaac has proven himself to be part of the Hollywood elite in numerous outstanding performances and The Card Counter is another excuse for this talented actor to flex his thespian muscles. The story, crafted by legendary writer and director Paul Schrader, sees a former convict trying to earn a living by playing cards, something he is rather good at. As the story progresses you learn more about Isaac’s character and everything does not seem as straightforward with him as first appeared. Not only does the film feature the ever-talented Isaac’s but also sees some great performances from Tiffany Haddish and screen legend Willem Dafoe. It’s a slow-burn thriller that is guaranteed to keep you guessing until the final credits and is one of the best movies to be released this year.

Cryptozoo

One of the divisive movies to come out this year, Cryptozoo is an animation tour-de-force that will shock as much as it will fascinate. A hand-crafted hallucinatory film from renowned animator Dash Shaw features the voice of Lake Bell as the character Lauren Gray, an army brat who grew up outside Okinawa following WWII and has a special connection to the Baku, the Japanese cryptid who consumes nightmares. The Baku ate her nightmares as a child and she is indebted to its protection. As an adult, Lauren seeks out cryptids to deliver them to safety in a Cryptozoo, a haven-slash-theme park. But when the army also seeks to capture the Baku and use it as a weapon, chaos ensues. It’s a tough movie to watch, but one that is essential to see. With wonderful animations, a truly adult-themed story, and solid voice acting, Cryptozoo is the weirdest and maybe the best movie you haven’t seen yet.
