Tortilla Heaven
Like a piece of fast food: it’s simple and painless – even tasty at times – but it’s not overly nutritious.

Santa Claus: The Movie
One would expect a holiday epic with a title like Santa Claus: The Movie. It implies something definitive, which would therefore put it in the canon of Christmas classics. However, this is definitely not the case.
Taxi Driver
A grimy film that perfectly reflects its grimy subject matter. Travis Bickle [is] one of film’s most complex characters. When you talk about super heroes, he truly is one minus the tights and powers.
Superman Returns
A tender film that steps outside of its expected genre.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Still a lot of fun, has lots of action and adds some depth to the overall story, but it’s also bloated and ends far too suddenly.
Sidekick
Even though I have read a comic or two in my life, it’s not just for us nerds….It’s a universal story. Honest.
Show Me
The premise of Show Me sounds lame, but the end result is something much greater than its plot.

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.
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.
Red Trousers: The Life of the Hong Kong Stuntmen
Red Trousers pays tribute to one country’s stuntmen. At the same time it’s a personal tribute as Shou uses the film as a platform to showcase his own work.
