SiCKO
Unlike his other films, Moore finally starts to offer some sort of a solution that involves something other than marking an ‘X’ next to a name that doesn’t say ‘Bush’.
Days of Glory
Like most every great war movie, it combines intense action with human drama. There’s also several overtly preachy scenes that accomplish little to further the story but they underline the already clear message.
Breaking and Entering
Everything in Anthony Minghella’s Breaking and Entering is torn and in need of mending….And like the flaw’s set within the confines of the film, the movie itself is in need of a little tinkering itself.
Circle of Iron
Five years after his untimely death, Lee’s vision project was finally made. Whether or not it’s truly his vision, the world will never know. One thing is for sure though – this is one confusing, self indulgent and often tedious film.
Dinosaurs: Seasons Three and Four
When Dinosaurs began airing in 1991, I was suckered in by the attachment of Jim Henson and his wonderful puppets. The cute baby and his numerous catch-phrases won me over[…]
The Ex
The Ex had the potential. The problem is that it just doesn’t follow through. Perhaps given the deep cast and the possible exploration on the changing tides of the familial unit I had my hopes too high.
Provoked
There are some tremendous lessons of courage and justice to be taken from Provoked, however the drama is often so forced that there are times when the film is hard to watch.
Smokin’ Aces
It’s flashy and feels hip, but I wonder if it’s all just a smokescreen much like the one in the film’s plot.
Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion
Short and sweet, it’s also intelligent and a welcome departure from the typical material found in the genre’s bigger stars.
Favela Rising
Like City of God and Bus 174 before it, Favela Rising is about as raw as it comes. This is not an apologetic film, but rather one that looks for the bright side in a bleak situation.
