The Fan
A film with lots of great ideas yet none of them come to fruition.

Everybody’s Fine
A film with a few inspired moments – mostly towards the end – sprinkled in with a whole lot of awkward, even mean, portions. The result is a major disappointment.

The Godfather Part II
While I’m sure profits were a big part of the conversation the Paramount suits had when deciding to green-light The Godfather Part II, but Coppola didn’t go out and bastardize the franchise. Far from it.
Stardust
On the surface, Stardust looks like a cheesy little fluff fantasy. In many ways it is. Yet at the same time, it’s also the most fun I’ve had with a film since watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean.
New York, New York
New York, New York never fully comes together as a cohesive picture. Rather, it’s a film with many parts that don’t gel, much like its fabricated lead characters.
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.
Mean Streets
A modern masterpiece where the setting is the star, even among a cast that is highlighted by Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel.
