Terminal

  • Title: Terminal
  • IMDb: link

Both a critical and box office failure, writer/director Vaughn Stein‘s stylish neo-noir thriller is more notable for the look of the film than anything else. The convoluted plot, which relies on two late twists and extended monologuing to the audience in the final ten minutes to tie the disparate threads of the story together, involves a cast of characters including a waitress (Margot Robbie), English teacher (Simon Pegg), and pair of assassins (Max Irons and Dexter Fletcher) who keep coming back to a rundown train station for reasons even they don’t understand.

Review with Myles Barlow – Dickheads

  • Title: Review with Myles Barlow – Stealing, Dickheads, Risk
  • IMDb: link

As Margot Robbie Week continues, we turn out attention to her performance on the first episode of the short-lived series Review with Myles Barlow starring Phil Lloyd as a television journalist who reviews real-life experiences which often allow him to partake in deplorable behavior. In the opening episode he covers the increasing thrill received from stealing and exploring the idea of risk by becoming a drug mule. It’s in the middle segment, however, where we find Margot Robbie as one of a small group of young women taken advantage of by Myles and his dickhead friend Russell (Russell Benson) whose oafish behavior eventually rubs on off him. Rooted in dark humor, he show is a curiosity more than anything else with some segments working better than others, but  it does provide some humorous, if completely ridiculous, moments along the way.
