Dial M for Murder is lesser Hitchcock, yet worth watching for its classic tropes, timeless title and for Grace Kelly. But, the convoluted and constrained plot is insufficiently removed from its stage play roots.

Strong cast and elegant story. Mannered but entertaining. |

The Conversation was one of Francis Ford Coppola’s celebrated early Seventies movies, nominated for Best Picture and winner of the Palme d’Or. Deeply accomplished, occasionally fascinating, a time capsule of San Francisco from 1973, it nonetheless disappoints all these decades later. The min…

M. Night Shyamalan casts Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson in a heady supernatural thriller that pits the Unbreakable Willis against the Breakable Jackson. This is an intriguing thriller with a not so smooth transition from character discovery to conclusion, but entertaining enough to keep you w… |

Pierce Brosnan makes the concept of a down to earth Irishman as a high flying CEO work. He almost makes up for the cheesy story of an evil I.T. genius falling a bit flat. Good but not very good. |

Cheesy sci-fi mech robots? Check. Film in quasi black-and-white? Check. Derring-do of Jude Law’s hero? Check. Gwenneth Paltrow’s “Take no prisoners” gumshoe blond? Check. This 1930’s meet comic book style of movie is well done for that style, but you gotta like that style. Me, not so much. |

Somewhat of a misfire as script-writing goes, Strangerland partially makes up for it with well done drama, sexual tension, aboriginal mystery, and good-old-fashioned “whodunnit?”. Many reviewers will disagree, but I think it was worth the watch. Besides, I just couldn’t take my eyes off of Nicol… |

Good old fashioned US-Russia cold war espionage with an updated twist. I loved the storyline but the implementation was a bit dreary at times, despite having Jennifer Lawrence to look at the whole time. |

I had no idea that this sleeper directed by George Clooney and deftly acted by Matt Daemon & Julianne Moore even existed. A surreal view of what happens when you insert bad actors and desperate measures in the perfect (and perfectly white), master-planed suburb in the 1950s. It is hard to put my… |

Claimed a demented masterpiece by many, this soul-sick thriller oozes style, charisma and perverted action. Sadly, it lacks continuity, is overly affected and revels in juxtaposing drug addled wickedness with small town goodness. Worth seeing – if you have a strong stomach – for Dennis Hopper’…
