All the latest Movieland investigations from detectives Dick japowski and Joey Arizona.
The Arizona Case Files
Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Jojo Betzler is just your average ten-year-old...living in Nazi Germany...who also has Adolf Hitler as an imaginary friend.
Not the war time remake of Drop Dead Fred we've all been led to expect, Drop Dead Adolf is actually only a small part of a great war story from a perspective we don't often see, and one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time.

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Alec Baldwin is called in to shake up the work force with help from a script by David Mamet!
"Coffee is for closers". That is as far of my knowledge on this film went. But the script and the cast made this sing. Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Jonathan Pryce and Kevin Spacey all talking like they are up on stage giving their all.

The Arizona Case Files
TMNT (2007)
Following the defeat of Shredder the Turtles four have drifted apart, particularly Leo and Raph, but differences have to be set aside when a centuries old threat looms it's ugly head.
The often forgotten Turtles movie is actually one of the best, and one I enjoy more each time around. It's like an entire series crammed into 90 minutes, with a voice cast that includes Patrick Stewart, Chris Evans, Sarah Michelle Geller and Kevin Smith.

Honey Boy (2019)
Shia LaBeouf writes and stars as his own father in this semi biographical account of his own life growing up as a young actor, and the fallout that a tumultuous relationship can leave on someone who is in the spotlight.
Hands down this would have been my number one movie of last year, Shia is terrifying, raw and vulnerable and he puts it all up on show on screen. Available now on Amazon Prime.

Colour Out of Space (2019)
Nicholas Cage as an Alpaca farmer. Now I have your attention!
When some meteor shit hits his farm its not long before things go all H.P Lovecraft and indescribable discribables start happening. Probably the best Aadaptation of Lovecrafts work I've seen.
