Review: Gran Torino

I try not to borrow others words when writing reviews, but Michael A. Smith’s blurb on Rotten Tomatoes says, in short, what I could ramble on trying to say:
“Eastwood has said that, at age 78, this may be his last time in front of the camera. I urge you not to miss a legend at [...]

Review: Doubt

It’s funny how such an ordinary view on basic human emotions can be turned into something so intense that you can’t look away, even for a moment. How something so seemingly ordinary could keep you talking days after you’ve left the theater. It’s also funny that a film like Doubt could fly under the radar [...]

It would seem that there were too many things going for this movie to prevent it from being any sort of huge let down. David Fincher, director: his previous work includes Se7en, The Game, Fight [...]

Review: Slumdog Millionaire

I thought that I was the only one. I thought it was possible that I would be the only person who didn’t understand all the fuss surrounding this movie. But even though it’s reception has been overwhelmingly positive, there are those who fall in line with my train of thought. Slumdog Millionaire was yet another [...]

Review: Frost/Nixon

Frost/Nixon doesn’t live up to it’s multi-nominations by the Golden Globes. Or the Oscar rumors swirling around its name. No, it doesn’t just live up to them, it surpasses them greatly. Coming out of the theater, I, for the first time in some months, felt that feeling you strive and truly hope for when seeing [...]

News, Notes, and Trailers

It’s been quite some time since my last post – my review for Quantum of Solace. I actually ended up seeing it a second time and left the theater much more satisfied, but it still doesn’t reach the heights of Casino. Anyways, there’s a lot of news and a lot of fantastic looking movies coming [...]
