Latest Review Additions: |
Ray (in Film
)
- This film and Foxx’s performance has been talked about
for most of the year and after seeing it, I concur, that Foxx
has definitely reached the peak where Denzel, Will Smith, and
Morgan Freeman are now as "Ray" is truly one of
the best films this year.

|
Vera Drake (in Film
)
- Vera Drake, the latest film from British auteur Mike Leigh,
is quite possibly the best abortion drama ever made. It
is an emotional powerhouse, deeply moving and complex with an
astonishing, bravura performance from lead actress Imelda Staunton.

-
Shall We Dance?
(in Film
)
- The new version which stars Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, and
Jennifer Lopez, brings in the same format, but it doesn’t
really transcend well with an American audience, and Lopez’s
role is so wooden that it leaves the film with mixed results.
|
-
Hair Show
(in Film
)
- Another low budget, low expectational; classified "Black
Exploitation" film filled with brand name actors that make
the film go nowhere...again.
|
-
Friday Night Lights
(in Film
)
- It is far from perfect and not in the league of the great sports
films, but is an accomplished effort and well worth seeing
-
|
-
Taxi
(in Film
)
- Taxi is film that has plenty of action, laughs, and sex
appeal. While the film has the look of a cliché buddy movie,
Latifah and Fallon bring in their own flair of comedic skills
to make a difference and take you on a New York joyride.
|
-
Stage Beauty
(in Film
)
- Billy Crudup, who has been so underrated an actor, shows just
how good he is in playing the role of a female and male. It's
his performance that takes the film from being dull and stage-like
to exhilarating and entertaining.
|
-
I Heart Huckabees
(in Film
)
- Huckabees is a tremendously clever satire of modern culture.
It is a wacky, peculiar film that'll have you bored with pretentiousness
or extolling its genius.
|
-
Woman Thou Art Loosed
(in Film
)
- This true to life film is a moving, fearful, emotional ride
that will have the audience's attention from the very beginning,
to the very tearful and dramatic ending.
|
-
A Dirty Shame
(in Film
)
- John Waters is in a class by himself. His schlocky B-movies
are either funny as hell or god awful. This film unfortunately
falls into the latter category.
|
-
Motorcycle Diaries
(in Film
)
- Walter Salles, the acclaimed Brazilian director of Central Station,
achieves greatness here. He tells a sublimely provocative story,
but never forgets that his characters are on an epic journey.
|
-
Silver City
(in Film
)
- Silver City is a thinking man's film. It has an involved storyline
that requires attention from the viewer. Watch it for excellent
filmmaking and Sayles's political ideology.
|
-
Head in the Clouds
(in Film
)
- Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron are a real life couple,
but have no chemistry whatsoever in the film. The love story
is not convincingly portrayed and that theme is the arc of the
film.
