Review: War Horse

SPOILER ALERT – if you want some suspense with your war horse, and you couldn’t tell how the movie was going to end when you saw the preview, don’t read this review. If I were to make a list of things I do not find entertaining, ‘terrified animals’ and ‘horses …

Review: Warrior

If you asked anyone who knows me to look at the poster for Warrior and predict my interest in seeing the movie, I’m pretty sure 100% of them would guess a big “no.” No offense to Tom Hardy’s shapely muscle-bosom – I’m just not the girl who stands in line …

Review: The Artist

The 1920s were a great time in Hollywoodland (yes, the “land” was still up on the hill). There were tons of movie studios, and they were all booming. In fact, all the studios combined were producing upwards of 800 films a year, which may be the highest in the history …

Mikel Blomkvist is the editor of a Swedish tabloid magazine. After being shamed in a scandal, he is hired by a wealthy businessman to investigate the decades-old murder of a family member.

Review: Albert Nobbs

Albert Nobbs is a very strange little man. He pinches the pennies he makes, working as a butler, saving up to fulfill his dream of opening a small shop. He loves a young woman who doesn’t seem to love him back. Oh, and Albert Nobbs is also a woman. Glenn …

Review: We Need to Talk About Kevin

Storytelling through film is typically done in a linear fashion. Mixing up the timeline of events can be a tricky undertaking. If done correctly, you end up with brilliance like Memento or Pulp Fiction or The Usual Suspects. If not, well… you get Mike Nichol’s Closer. We Need To Talk …

Review: The Tree of Life

The Tree of Life

It’s tempting to limit my review of Tree of Life to the following: W. T. F. ? Honestly, there’s not much more to say. Obviously a lot of Academy members appreciated this movie; I sure as heck wish I knew why. According to the Netflix synopsis, it’s “a 1950s adventure …

Review: The Descendants

Director Alexander Payne has a certain way of taking serious cinematic situations and making them more lighthearted and, well, human. About Schmidt and Sideways are prime examples, and if you enjoyed those, you will likely fall in love with The Descendants. George Clooney stars as a wealthy Hawaiian land-owner, struggling …

Review: The Tree of Life

The most useless piece of existential crap-art I’ve seen in many, many years. If you take out the 45 minutes that belongs in a Planet Earth documentary, you’re left with a fairly bland, 1960s drama with no likeable characters. If the film had just been THAT part, it would have …
