CXL (2012) Chase Whale Is CXL a love story? Is it a coming-of-age tale? It's unclear, but one thing's certain: Gillane and his writing partners, Theo Miller and Katherine Bruens, have the courage make an unconventional-yet-engaging film on a very small budget.

Rubber (2010) Chase Whale The greatest meta movie about a killer tire ever made.

Win Win (2011) Chase Whale WIN WIN makes Tom McCarthy three-for-three. Grabbing the affection from the audience is what he wants, and dear reader, he can't lose.

Fubar 2 (2010) Chase Whale The FUBAR films are an experiment - can two knuckleheads really get by doing nothing but partying and drinking beer? And is it believable? You bet it is.

Oddsac (2010) Chase Whale After walking out of ODDSAC's world premiere, here are some of the notes I jotted down: "Will make Tim Burton proud," "Distorted," "Mind-fuck," and "Marshmallow."

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (2010) Chase Whale This delicious documentary did teach me about one of Joan's most important assets, and that's her dirty, dirty mouth.

Let Me In (2010) Chase Whale This is one of the best films of its kind in the recent years. It's not better than the original, but that's not what Matt Reeves set out to do - the man wanted to make a solid film and he did just that.

Attenberg (2010) Chase Whale After walking out of ATTENBERG, I couldn't decide if I really hated it, or really loved it. I still can't decide. ATTENBERG stretches the arthouse genre to "WTF!?"

Ceremony (2010) Chase Whale Winkler is a titan at balancing comedy and drama. And Angarano is hilarious as our as our lead, channelling a young Vince Vaughn: the out of place winks, the full confidence in situations he has no way of gaining.

Jack Goes Boating (2010) Chase Whale JACK GOES BOATING is a poignant story about how love can be (often at the same time) awkward, funny, and important.

The Kids Are All Right (2010) Chase Whale We're shown real life problems in a fictional story that gives us real life solutions. Bravo Lisa, your film is more than all right.

Holy Rollers (2010) Chase Whale The one and only problem I had with HOLY ROLLERS was the pacing. I found myself getting slightly bored and at times, looking at my watch. I'm sure it's not easy to mesh Orthodox Judaism and Ecstasy, but Asch did a pretty good job.

Kill the Irishman (2011) Chase Whale KILL THE IRISHMAN should be appreciated as an important look at the way Greene affected the mob and crimes back in the late 70s.

The Visitor (2007) Chase Whale THE VISITOR begs the question, "Is too late to try something new?" If your like the rest of the world, you want the answer to be "Never." THE VISITOR answers that in one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking ways you'll ever see.

The Girlfriend Experience (2008) Chase Whale The tagline sleazily states: "See it with someone you fuck," when, in fact, you should just fuck someone you fuck. This is one experience you'll want to miss out on.

Where the Wild Things Are (2009) Chase Whale Spike Jonze adapted a book with less than 200 words into a 90-minute feature and it's simply wonderful.

Animal Kingdom (2010) Chase Whale Ben Mendelsohn steals the show. This man portrayed the most subtle creep I've seen on film in years. Animal Kingdom is a must see.

Jackass 3 (2010) Chase Whale JACKASS 3D isn't just about the pranks and crude humor - it's a celebration that connected all of them and changed their lives ten years ago, when Jackass first aired on MTV.

Somewhere (2010) Chase Whale Even with its irritating ending, there's something so relatable about Marco that makes the story go, well, somewhere

Submarine (2010) Chase Whale SUBMARINE is a story about growing up all while not wanting to get older. It's what HAROLD & MAUDE would have been if they had met in high school.

Drive (2011) Chase Whale Something under the hood of Drive captured my heart; director Nicolas Winding Refn has admirably crafted a fine piece of retro-noir cinema.
