The heart of a battle-tank turns into a heart of darkness for four soldiers – softies – thrust into the horror of war. The obvious comparison to Das Boot captures Lebanon’s ironclad claustrophobia and blinkered view. Yet, Apocalypse Now seems more fitting an antecedent given how these unw…

The world’s greatest rock & roll band – at the peak of their powers – glimmers brightly in Hal Ashby’s awkwardly titled movie documenting their massive 1981 stadium tour. Promoting a just released Tattoo You, the 25 song set draws six tracks from that kickass album, along with three from the u…

Letting Cage Be Cage: tight writing, fine casting, clever and well executed cinematic shooting and cutting. Deviously clever topicality. This movie is – if nothing else – a meditation on war at its most despicably awful. Lord of War depicts wars that are not "the continuation of politics by … |

Lost in America’s reputation exceeds its reality. Modestly funny in 1985, its four memorable scenes live on in the mind’s eye, but fail to sustain this mere 91 minute movie. Turns out its nest-egg wasn’t enough. Not that it doesn’t have a great line here and there.

A superbly crafted film about a sympathetic sociopath, Monster deserves to be appreciated for much more than Charlize Theron’s Oscar-winning performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos. For instance, it deftly shows a seamy side of American society, the confounding and sometimes tragic forces …

Old school (80’s) Julia Roberts date-movie. Cute but predictable story-lines about as 3 waitresses experience romantic ups and downs. |

Never Let Me Go never fully had me. It starts well enough, setting up a sensitive love triangle amongst a bunch of Stepford Kids at a remote British boarding school, and then reveals an intriguing SciFi ethical dilemma. However, the movie is atmospheric in the extreme and low key to a point o…
