Hart’s War
Starts out strongly before quickly losing its focus, point and purpose in a mess of mixed messages, over-blown drama and Bruce Willis with a scar.

Christmas · Films: I · Reviews: I
It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie
A medley of familiar Christmas classics…with a distinct Muppet spin.
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
A…cynical and serious look at teenage boys doing what they do best – being teenagers.
8 Mile
I’ve been curious about “the Eminem movie” for months. And while I have gotten the chance to see 8 Mile, little of my pondering has been quenched; Eminem remains an enigma.
Jackass: The Movie
More a surreal experience in the gross and the disturbing than a movie.
The Apostle
Nobody’s perfect, but this movie’s pretty darned close in its subtle telling of a Godly man from the south on his quest for conviction.
Almost Famous
An honest and touching look at many big themes such as family, friendship and fandom.
Bollywood Hollywood
Deepa Mehta provides an accessible introduction as well as some intelligent observations on the success of Bollywood in the Western world.
Storytelling
While Solondz tries and tries hard, Storytelling fails to provide much more insight than the inside column of a torn book jacket.
Possession
A stuffy film disguised as a romance/ thriller/ Nancy Drew-Hardy Boys team-up.
