This movie is flawless. Nothing about it made me wonder “why” or “what”- I just went along for the ride. The movie didn’t stress me out. It didn’t bore me. It didn’t gross me out (then again nothing does). To start, the story is extremely well executed. It flows extremely well from the beginning …

This magnificent political biography also happens to be a very good movie. Not a great movie, but a great and important story, well told and even better acted by its two leads. Lessons in history and leadership should all be so charismatic. The movie has rhythms and totems unfamiliar to Amer…

In my first viewing of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, I thought it was a very well made film and respected the fact that it was in fact one of the greatest films ever made. However, I simply didn’t like it as much as other people did. There was something missing that made Scorsese’s other films…
