Review: “The American”
“The American” is not going to be appreciated by most Americans. It isn’t anti-America, or political in any sense. But it’s paced more slow than we’re used to, there isn’t a lot of dialogue from Clooney’s Mr. Butterfly, and the … Continue reading

Review: “Unforgiven”, hopefully I’ll be forgiven for having just seen this for the first time
“I guess they had it coming.”-The Schofield Kid “We all have it coming, Kid.”-William Munny Clint Eastwood’s 1992 Best Picture/Director/etc Winner definitely earned its awards and critical acclaim. Any conversation I hear about Westerns always concludes by someone saying either, … Continue reading

Review: “The Road”
Yeah, end-of-the-world movies were as plentiful in recent years as sequels and reboots. But “The Road” was not a rushed project determined to rake in money. It’s not about a gimmick, or zombies, or aliens, or a disease. In fact, … Continue reading

Review: The Book of Eli – One book, two “schools” of thinking.
During a recent illness, I RedBox’ed a bunch of movies to pass the time. “The Wolfman”, “My Life In Ruins”, “When In Rome”, and “The Book of Eli”. They all kept my interest(well… Wolfman came the closest to losing it), … Continue reading

Review: “Moon”
Science fiction isn’t dead, it just hasn’t been seriously attempted in recent years. But in 2009, two exceptional sci-fi movies were released, one of them was “Moon”. Suprisingly smart, precise, wondrous to watch, especially for being a low-budget independent film. … Continue reading

Review: Inception, ex-”ception”-al
“We all long for reconciliation”-Dom Cobb, protagonist of “Inception”. In a year of movies that are nothing more than sequels, reboots, and based off of books and games, we get an oasis in the middle of a desert of unoriginality. … Continue reading
Review: An Education (2009)
2009′s “An Education” was not a blockbuster or even a single-family-housebuster. But it was in all of the top awards and critics lists. If you’re willing to stretch your movie-watching legs, you’ll find something valuable here.

Review: The Lovely Bones – From James T. Kirk: Sorry, Dr. McCoy, this isn’t a love letter to you.
This is a hard movie for me to recommend for two reasons, the story’s subject is very disturbing and the movie is a little far from coherent. But when I think of a movie with some value to it, I … Continue reading
