Netflix Instant Watch September Preview
31, Aug 2012
by Dan
Haywire - such a wonderfully underrated little action flick with a great cast- Traffic - more greatness from Soderbergh
- Dark Tide - sure it was DTV, but a movie with Halle Berry in a bikini can’t be all that bad
- Super 8 - the best movie (that I saw) of 2011
- The Expendables - so much less fun than it should have been
- Piranha - so much more fun than it had any right to be
Battle Royale - The Hunger Games but far more intense- Wilfred - hilarious TV show starring Elijah Wood and a man in a dog suit
- Captain America - see more of what came before The Avengers
- God Bless America - Bobcat Goldthwait continues to be one of the most unique filmmakers working today
- ESPN’s 30 for 30 series - if you’re a fan of sports or documentaries, you should seek these out

Tony Scott: A Flickchart Retrospective
23, Aug 2012
by Nigel Druitt
Movie fans were saddened by the passing of director Tony Scott in an apparent suicide on Sunday, August 19th. Though never achieving the acclaim of his Oscar-nominated brother Ridley – in either a critical (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) or cultural (Alien, Blade Runner) sense – Tony Scott was nonetheless a filmmaker of genuine talent.
Scott was never as interested as his elder sibling in crafting films made to stand the test of time. Instead, he was far more concerned with living in the cinematic moment, in bringing us moments of exhilaration, escape, and just a good ol’ time at the multiplex. And along the way, he created for himself a distinct visual style that has been aped by many other action directors, yet never quite duplicated.
Here, we simply wish to honor the memory of Tony Scott, and revisit his body of work in true Flickchart fashion: by examining a selection of Mr. Scott’s films two at a time, head-to-head.

(There is a made-for-television movie, Beverly Hills Madam, starring Faye Dunaway that no one on Flickchart has ranked yet – if you’d like to be the first to check it out.)

Ruby Sparks: A Flickcharter’s Movie Review
6, Aug 2012
For the last six years, we’ve been waiting patiently for the sophomore effort from directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. The husband-and-wife team responsible for 2006‘s Little Miss Sunshine, one of the finest films of the last decade, has finally returned with Ruby Sparks, an innovative romantic comedy that brings to life a fantasy most writers only dream about. It asks the question: What if those dreams came to life?
