BlueCat Review: 
Sicario is an Intense, Thought Provoking Thriller
Emily Blunt gives a masterful performance as an idealistic FBI agent sent to the frontline of the War on Drugs in Denis Villenueve's Sicario.

Blue's Beats:
Fight Club


This week, I break the first and second rule of Fight Club by examining the script for the 1999 film from David Fincher, written by Jim Uhles.

Criticizing Modernity: Looking Back at Jacques Tati's Playtime
I take a look back at Jacques Tati's visual and aural presentation of themes in the 1967 classic, Playtime.
