As other reviews have mentioned, this isn’t a western, it’s a set of classic Tarantino character studies set in the Wild West. And wild it is; not from an action perspective, but from a character perspective. And that’s the point of the movie. Lots of funny quote-able moments on this entertainin… |

A great and twisty whodunnit. I rarely get to enjoy what seams to be a dying art in films these days. Compelling characters, intriguing mystery, assumptions turned upside down and riveting until its climax. |

Uncut Gems could be titled Deadly Sins, with the wages of sin its inevitable conclusion. Populated by a rogues gallery of serious sinners and propelled by seriously sinful decisions, the Safdie Brothers once again wallow through the flamboyant dregs of New York. It’s a glorious car-crash expe…

So much to love about Jake Gyllenhaal’s Donnie Darko: The sarcasm and irreverence involved in telling Donnie’s schizophrenic story is darkly funny, the macabre occurrences, inept culture, and solid 80’s soundtrack weirdly glue things together to weave a great movie together, but you need the sto… |

When you think of M. Night Shayamalan many things come to mind- unknowing fear, unbearable silences, and nothing is what it seems. As with all his movies you are looking everywhere for some possible answer to the questions that he puts to his audience. This was no different. I felt I was watching…

This was a fantastic movie. At first it seemed that it would be not much more than a detective yarn with a military twist, but it became much more. It exposes the human drama of loss, pain, the will and determination to seek truth, how war twists us all, coping,just how complicated … |

Starched and stilted, Witness for the Prosecution nonetheless packs one hell of a punch at the end, with glorious detail throughout and a powerhouse cast who are the complete masters of their juicy roles. Nevermind that its theatrical roots show. Agatha Christie knew how to write for max view…

In the Cut deserves more than mere notoriety for a provocative title and Meg Ryan’s erotic performance, though the latter is monumental – No more RomComs for the RomCom Queen. – and vividly memorable. Slow starting, moody, Jane Campion’s movie finally turns fully creepy 30 min in, not a mome…

Polish up the acceptance speeches. Changeling deserves a passel of trophies, though Best Picture isn’t one of them. The difficult story – while expertly told – ends up a mildly exhausting slog, one not worth enduring for anyone not wanting to visualize the most elemental of maternal nightmare… |

More a wartime romantic mystery than anything, A Secret is nonetheless as fine a Holocaust picture as you’ll find. Being French, it’s also a sensual love story, or two. Let’s start at the beginning even though the movie starts in the middle. A supremely athletic and thoroughly assimilated …
