1 Guy 1 Jar (2008)
Stunning, brave, brilliant
This is a story of hope and courage. 1 Guy 1 Jar beautifully portrays the moment of triumph one feels when victory is within reach, as well as the anguish and pain left in its wake when things break apart and one is left scrambling to pick up the pieces.
Islam and the Future of Tolerance (2018)
An Intellectual Triumph.
Sam Harris and Maadjid Nawaz navigate terrain that many people find too problematic to consider, and they do so with nuance and poise. In our modern political climate, with opinions so fiercely polarised, important conversations are often go unheard. This film examines the dialogue between two brilliant men who seek to reform Islam and challenge extremism. Nawaz, a Muslim and former Islamist extremist, has a conversation with Harris, philosopher, atheist, and neuroscientist. With understanding and respect, both men are able to bring about a timely conversation that deserves to be heard.
Office Christmas Party (2016)
Not a complete waste of time
Given the line-up for the film I was expecting a little more, it certainly showed potential. There were still a few laughs but overall it largely fell flat. The saving grace was probably T.J. Miller who, with his charismatic charm, provided a few good laughs. All in all, not great but not entirely terrible either.
