![]() Is there a better crime movie? Other classics such as Godfather 2 equal Goodfellas, but none top it. If you like the genre and are not easily dismayed, this is the ne plus ultra. |

![]() Excellent film about the story of the Dalai Lama and his being forced from Tibet. At times humerous, always beautiful, at times heartwrenching, yet it doesn’t end leaving you depressed. This movie also serves as a good introduction to Tibetan Buddhism for Westerners and of the Dalai Lama’s non-vi… |

![]() Elizabeth is a smashingly good movie – presented with great aplomb – about worldshaping events, centered on arguably the greatest queen of all time. All that and the great Cate Blanchett’s first ever motion picture role – for which she was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. Politically t… |

![]() After long avoiding this movie, I was compelled to watch it by Massie’s simple declaration of its perfection. He’s right, this is a perfect movie, long yet packed with necessary detail, suspenseful even though the end is never in doubt, chock full of charismatic performances by three of our great… |

![]() This is easily my favorite Tim Burton movie alongside Batman and Edward Scissorhands. This is an inspirational film about someone who pursues their passion no matter how much they suck at doing it. Johnny Depp plays Edward D. Wood Jr, the infamous filmmaker who has been dubbed "The Worst Director… |

![]() Truman Capote was many things: a brilliant writer, a New York sociallite, the ultimate insider, fixed on martinis, and a teency bit disturbed. To put it simply, he was one of the most fascinating and controversial figures of the 20th century. In Capote, director Bennett Miller brings the real-lif…

![]() Delightful bio of golden producer Robert Evans, the man behind The Godfather, Chinatown, Marathon Man, Urban Cowboy, Sliver & How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days – to name some from immortal to shameless. Picked as a movie star himself, while lounging around the Beverly Hills Hotel pool no less, Ev…
