Malèna
Perfect 66 Points 2000

Deeply, floridly Italian, Malèna is a sumptuous WWII find, a Sicilian movie extraordinaire and a devastating depiction of Italian machismo reacting to the hottest signorina since Sophia Loren.

Monica Belluci plays the title character, a gorgeous war bride living in a small Sicilian town, bro…

Ed Wood
Perfect 9 Points 1994

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…

The History Boys
Perfect 6 Points 2006

First off, I’d like to note that this film took me 2 months to find up here in Canada! Eventually I turned to the internet and purchased a copy, and I’m very glad I did. Filled with dead-pan humour and exceptional wit, yet peppered with serious elements and a message, this adaptation of the Tony-…

Cinema Paradiso
Perfect 1 Points 1989

Thisis my favorite movie of all time. It’s very long and slow at times. I watch it every year in the winter when the weather is miserable. I put a nice pot of stew on the stove and snuggle in to enjoy the sweetest story ever. The trick to this one though is to stay with it all the way through…

The Madness of ...
Perfect 66 Points 1994

Fascinating history lessons are rarely tremendously entertaining, yet The Madness of King George is both. Frequently funny, often charming, it’s nevertheless chockablock with important historical insights about the British government, crown and class system, and the ignorant barbarity of pre-mo…

Not Fade Away
Perfect 66 Points 2012

David Chase & Little Stevie should’ve released Not Fade Away here in January, instead of at the October film festivals. It coulda been the first great movie of 2013. Instead it’s yet another great movie from 2012.

OK, that ain’t chopped liver. Still, it coulda set the pace for the New Yea…

United 93
Perfect 29 Points 2006

United 93 takes place the day a tragedy occurred, September 11, 2001. It seems like a normal day to everyone. No one has any idea how big of an impact this day will have. At first everything goes as scheduled through the airlines. However, those who monitor the airplanes do become suspicious. The…
