V for Vendetta
With its delightful mix of action and thinking, V for Vendetta is in one sense escapism but on the other, depressing as hell.
Show Me
The premise of Show Me sounds lame, but the end result is something much greater than its plot.
Mondo Hollywood
What once caused a storm of controversy is now pretty tame, mundane even.
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
E.T. is a film I will continue to watch over and over for the rest of my life. It is one I will never grow sick of, no matter how many times I watch it.

Santa’s Slay
Santa’s Slay stands as one of the ultimate Christmas B-flicks. For my time, it’s no Jack Frost or Jack Frost 2, but it does have a couple inspiring moments.
Murderball
Murderball doesn’t want you to feel sorry for anyone. It wants the viewer to see them for who they are, not what they aren’t. They’re athletes with the same drive and passion for their sport as other athletes.
My Date with Drew
Although charming at times, My Date With Drew comes across as more than a little bit creepy given the present context of celebrity stalkers – not to mention the sight of a middle-aged man fawning over the portrait of a young child.
Flyerman
A sad portrait of one man’s obsession with becoming someone he is not. Or is Flyerman the real Mark Vistorino? Either or, this is one legitimately tormented soul.
A History of Violence
A grim exploration of [humanity’s] futile attempts to repress the urge for violence.
