Hobo with a Shotgun (2011)
Gore with heart
Rutger Hauer is so good in this movie, and Brian Downey is a fantastic villain. Great hyper-colored visuals. Grindhouse done right, very dark and cruel in places but ultimately uplifting.
The Hidden (1987)
The Hidden, a hidden gem from the 80s
Absolutely perfect 80s sci- fi action movie, mysteriously unknown, with above-average everything. Kyle MacLachlan is pitch perfect, and the alien character(s) are magnificently anarchic.
Minuscule (2006)
Delightful
This series of 60 5 minute CGI shorts is sweet and funny. The characterisations of the various bugs are brilliantly done, and I'm amazed at how sparingly some of the charming stories are told. My kids, 4 and 10, adore these. So do I.
It's available in French only at the moment I think, but that's irrelevant, it matters only for the titles, the animations themselves have no speech.
If I've learned anything from Miniscule, it's don't f*ck with a Ladybird.
Incidentally they seem to be a tribute of sorts to "Microcosmos", a deservedly famous French wildlife documentary documenting one day in a French meadow.
Magnifique!
