This week on FoF: my new home cinema setup refuses to woof, and hope for the 5-star masterpiece "One Battle After Another". PLUE I review "The Lost Bus" and "The Smashing Machine" - both true stories. One is a claustrophobic thriller and the other stars The Rock. And yes, I do decide if he’s winning the Oscar. And MORE!

THE LOST BUS REVIEW
() Synopsis / Intro
() Paul Greengrass qualities with escalating real-time chaos
() He pioneered the “shaky cam” dialogue/action style
() The intimacy of The Lost Bus suits him, but…
() …fewer practical effects
() I could sense the budget constraints and cutting around the seams
() The nature of the story itself possibly too claustrophobic
() Good performances, cliché dialogue and themes
() The “shaky cam” feels dated
() Summary and LETTERBOXD RATING. See that rating HERE (boxd.it/bcIVMP).
