The Legend of Drunken Master
Just enough story to be interesting and with lots of personality to stand out.
Sling Blade
Well-acted, a multi-leveled story and a pure honesty make Sling Blade one of my favourite films of the 1990s.
Earth
Reminds us that no matter where you are, this third rock from the sun of ours is a gorgeous thing.
Our Gang: The Our Gang Collection
They’re still fun at times and remain iconic but there’s something about these shorts where the cute factor wears thin and the stories seem to be calling it in.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Has many moments rooted in movie magic, but there’s also a whole lot of filler that brings the movie to a length that’s more than bearable.
Bad Ronald
Although it’s hampered by rushed pacing and some plot contrivances, Bad Ronald isn’t actually that bad.
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark
Sticks to the familiar but he does it in such a way that it’s still extremely creepy, a little bit campy and, at times, quite a lot of fun.
Sons of Anarchy: Season One
Although the drama goes a little too Shakespearian at times to the point of predictability, the show’s an intelligent and human take on a subject that is normally either idolized or cartoonized.
American Son
Several anti-war films have come along in the past couple of years calling out the war in Iraq. They’ve covered various conspiracies, big personalities and the front lines. But, perhaps, none have been as human as Neil Abramson’s American Son.
Adventureland
Adventureland finds much of its comedy in its often brutal honesty.
