A richly stylized biopic of larger-than-life automotive entrepreneur Preston Tucker, this Francis Ford Coppola movie revels in 1940’s period trappings as much as in its story. Self-consciously retro, nearly surreal, its characters exist just this side of parody. Still, supercharged perkiness li…

Delectable dishes and a beloved cast can’t rescue Stanley Tucci’s passion project. It’s hardly a bad movie, just a bit slow and stilted. Some miscasting and more than a little waiting around are mostly to blame. That said, entrepreneurs of all stripes can benefit from seeing Big Night, a cas…

Surprisingly strong biopic of Steve Jobs & Bill Gates, circa late 90s, when Gates was the more prominent of the two. Now that the legend of Jobs has eclipsed that of Gates, the story has new resonance. The movie portrays each entrepreneur’s unsavory sides, especially that of Jobs, who is show…

Enron’s rise and fall gets reprised in this dolorous documentary. Unfortunately there’s little new here for those who followed the debacle when it went down. Worse, the narrative is marred by a blanket sense of sanctimonious disgust and the testimony of at least one disgraced antagonist, convic… |

A very enjoyable, light-hearted, and funny movie! As someone who has been to Bangalore several times, I can say that this movie does a remarkably good job at giving you a sense for what it is like there with a humorous viewpoint — and the setting provides plenty of material to work with. Altho… |

Really well done documentary about the birth and death of the electric car. Done in a “Who Done It?” fashion, this movie is actually quite scary in an “Are you serious?” type way. (I just used two quotation-sayings in the same sentence lol). Definitely watch it. |

Flash of Genius is an involving and interesting, albeit frustrating, biopic of a guy who succeeds at invention, fails at business and craters at life. It’s well recommended for those interested in cars and/or entrepreneurs, and for fans of Greg Kinnear. Being a successful inventor wasn’t en…

Be Kind Rewind takes great actors and puts them in an amateur setting to center itself around us; the fans. Even though, having to remake all of the big budget films in Be Kind Rewind, is done by mistake, it spurs a realization of purpose, pride, and passion. The bottom line is they end up having… |

Another Michael Moore documentary, this time pointing out the failings of the current economic climate, and decrying them as a byproduct of capitalism. Moore approaches this issue much like a prizefighter who jabs at a bigger opponent, but does not offer a substantial punch, in my opinion, to kn… |
