Okay, here's my review for Black Dynamite... short sweet and spoiler free... [more]

This was a good movie. A really good movie. But you can't help but leave the theater shaking your head and wondering why anyone would ever ever want to be a cop in New York City. Damn. Any images of glamor associated with law enforcement will be purged from your head after this film. And the movie is depressingly realistic. Realistic because it is depressing and depressing because it is real... [more]

DiCaprio and Scorcese together again. And another fantastic film. This sucker had me guessing all the way through and I was afraid that the trailer had given too much away. The studio's decision to delay this was right on the money. This is the first great film I've seen in 2010... [more]

Fantastic film. Bigelow knocked it out of the freakin park on this. Anyone who's ever been in the shit can relate to this. This is one of the best war movies I've ever seen. Sure Hollywood is in full effect and there's a lot dramatic and poetic lisence taken with how the EOD teams (the whole army) operates. They do a lot of stupid things here in the interest of furthering the plot. But I think the film captures the slow tension and the unknown perfectly. I loved every single frame of this... [more]

I loved this movie. I missed its theatrical run because it never showed near here. But I would put this as one of the top films of 2009. Sam Rockwell's performance is first rate, and I'm a little disappointed the Academy didn't reward that a little bit... [more]

In one word, I'd would say this documentary fails at its goal. Fail. That's the word. It starts out very tight, with interviews from noted filmmakers who have had run-ins with the MPAA. It starts out about censorship and how the difference between PG-13, R, and NC-17 equals millions of dollars. Quickly, it loses it's way... [more]

I loved that this movie was not TAKEN or PAYBACK, or some other revenge film. This movie took place in a very 'real' world where actions have consequences however unpleasant they may be. This is a mature movie that didn't have people turning into super heroes when it was convenient for the action scene. Every character seemed to have their proper motivation, with the exception of the villain (but he is described as being insane several times by different characters). Mel Gibson did a fantastic job. Ray Winstone is almost adorable as a very shady character. This film was felt very much like a film noir and didn't feel like a modern film, it felt like movies that were made back in the 70's when story actually mattered. It reminded me of D.O.A. (the original) and the French Connection (minus the car chases). A very good story... [more]

I loved this movie! Fantastically accurate on all counts. Able performances by all involved while remaining true to the real-life people they were portraying. Some of the murder scene re-enactments were damn disturbing as they should be. David Fincher on his A game. If you want to see a fantastic historical film about one of the most notorious unsolved serial killers, do not miss Zodiac... [more]
