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.
The Dukes of Hazzard
Sure, it’s simple but for a longtime Dukes of Hazzard fan, it’s a funny and nostalgic dose of Southern comfort.

Dust to Glory
Brown lays the sentimentality on so much that it almost brings the whole production down. Luckily there’s lots of tremendous shots and a solid story to keep it going.
Zero Day
While Elephant was a success stylistically, Ben Coccio’s Zero Day is more haunting and hits home harder.
Night Watch
There’s nothing new thematically with Night Watch. However, Bekmambetov puts enough of a fingerprint on the project to make it all seem fresh again.
