March of the Penguins
Sometimes the simplest conflicts are the best ones…The result is a film that packs more emotion than anything I have seen in at least a couple of years.
The Island
My eyes hurt. So much action. So many explosions. So few words.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
There is a lot to become enchanted with – even if it looks as though most every character were a product of computer animation.
Heart of the Beholder
Clear, to the point but not entirely grabbing.
The Nomi Song
Like Nomi’s work, there is some distinct style at play that reflects its subject matter.
Gunner Palace
Avoids political views and is instead a tribute to the John and Jane Smiths of the American military risking their lives for an ideal rather than a clear goal.
War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds confronts the West’s collective feelings of vulnerability but at the same time it reassures our potential for survival.
Madagascar
How many ways can you tell a fart joke? Dreamworks Animation continues to ponder the question that has puzzled humanity with Madagascar.
Solitary Fracture
Solitary Fracture is the vision of a single person brought to life with justifiable confidence and more style than most anything found on the big screen today and even reaching back into the annuls of film history.
In the City
Struck me as being somewhat removed from its subjects, teasing the viewer with lots of possible points of view but never settling on a single one.
