Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Desert Bayou (in Film)

A damning documentary which exposes FEMA’s wholesale failings while depicting a nation still deep in denial and willing to look the other way.

The Girl Next Door (in Film)

This gruesome screen version paints a super-realistic picture that’s so relentlessly-disturbing it’s likely to trigger debate as to whether the filmmaker might have left too little to the imagination.

The Kingdom (in Film)

The Kingdom is a combination flick, part psychological thriller, part pyrotechnic spectacular, which works somehow despite considerable conceptual flaws.

The Darjeeling Limited (in Film)

Though his films are all unique they still have his stylistic touch. His characters are flawless in the way that they are full of flaws.

 

Bordertown (in Film)

Every once and a while a film that educates is as good as a film that entertains, and this film, despite its difficult subject matter succeeds in doing both.

 

Outsourced (in Film)

Engaging, unpredictable, hilarious and entertaining at every turn, this charming romantic romp offers all you could ever ask of a modern cross-cultural comedy.

 

Knocked Up DVD (in Film)

A coarse yet curiously charming battle-of-the-sexes comedy which offsets lowbrow humor with enough convincingly tenderhearted moments to make for a picture with universal
appeal.

 

We Are Marshall DVD (in Film)

The satisfaction it delivers doesn’t emanate from a cliché victory scene, but from an assortment of touching tableaus every step of the way along the painful healing process.

 

Gracie DVD (in Film)

A heartwarming family flick loosely based on events which transpired in the lives of the picture’s writer/producer Andrew Shue and his co-producer sister, Elisabeth.

 

The Brave One(in Film)

Although the film is credible to a certain point, it loses its focus towards the ends and becomes another contrived film filled with more action and less substance.

 

Across The Universe (in Film)

Taymor used close to 30 plus well-known Beatles tunes and still make it a disjointed film, although one could love it despite the ill-conceived plot.

 
Great World of Sound (in Film)

Kene Holliday revitalizes his career here with a nonpareil outing which ought not be forgotten come Oscar time.

 

Eastern Promises (in Film)

Not only does Mortensen talk with a brilliant Russian accent, but his performance as well as the rest of the cast makes this film must-see, thrill ride. Certain one of Cronenberg’s finest films in recent years.

 
3:10 to Yuma (in Film)

A complicated cowboy flick where you’re conflicted about whether to root for the guys in the white hats or the black hats by the time the big showdown arrives.
