Ex Machina (2015) - Great. Intriguing and thrilling and powered by some amazing performances. I love it when I film can work so well with such little characters and locations. A-

FTFY

Some people and their grammar.... ;)

Mad Max (1979) - It's no wonder that this isn't the film that made the series a cult classic. It's got almost none of the franchise trademarks. It almost feels like it was made as a prequel (this is what Max was like before the apocalypse) in that way. I've seen it before, and, like Tobar, it's not nearly as depressing as I remember. It's just a somewhat brutal 90 minute revenge thriller. It's good, but this film would not be remembered today if it weren't for its sequel and its discovery of Mel Gibson. B-

When did you get the idea that Tobar was depressing?

The Road Warrior (1981) - Somehow better than I remember, though I don't think I fully appreciated it the first time I saw it. This is a lean, mean, apocalyptic action machine, and a very good one at that. Raw action firing on all cylinders. What more could you want? B+

Well, for starters, I'd like a million dollars. That's just for starters, though.
