The Mad Max retrospective continues soon, and as part of an effort to get reviews of newer movies out quickly, Man of Steel early tomorrow.
For now, catching up on last week's technical hit:
THE PURGE
2013
Written and directed by James DeMonaco
With Ethan Hawke (James Sandin), Lena
Headey (Mary Sandin), Lena Headey’s extremely lovely asymmetrical
bob haircut (itself), Max Burkholder (Charlie Sandin), Adelaide Kane
(Zoey Sandin), Rhys Wakefield (Polite Stranger), and a plot device with
four lines (Plot Device With Four Lines)
Spoiler alert: mild
In the year 2022, control of the United
States government has been seized by a group of radicals, whose
philosophy combines elements of intense religiosity, fascism, and
anarchism. At some point, they changed their name to the New
Founding Fathers.
