The Blue Rose
The film focuses more on getting its message, no matter how noble, across rather than focusing on basic storytelling.

All the Real Girls
Like love, the film mucks about, making up the rules as it goes along. It’s not perfect, but neither is love.
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.
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.
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.
Barmaids
Boisvert continues to develop as a filmmaker, building off his knack for tracking genuine human emotion – good and bad – and digging beyond where we feel comfortable and safe.
Downfall
While he doesn’t necessarily sympathize with Hitler and his cronies, Oliver Hirschbiegel does make the fuehrer seem almost human with Downfall.
Bride & Prejudice
A purposely corny but thoroughly entertaining piece of melting pot cinema.
Beyond the Sea
Much like basking in front of your own image, Spacey’s Beyond the Sea is a vanity project, albeit one with some interesting layers surrounding it.
