FILM REVIEW 9
Recently watched Benny & Joon (recommended by a fellow film-obsessed lady). Really good!
It has lots of tasty ingredients: drama, romance, comedy, quirky charm, and awesome 90's music, not to mention Johnny Depp (who steals most scenes) and Aidan Quinn who is so, so good. How does he evoke such emotional depth?
Anyway, Sam/Depp is such a fabulous, ( Read more... ) -

Pelham 1, 2, 3
Although a glorified, stylized version of Speed/Phone Booth with the twist being on a subway, it was entertaining enough to hold my attention. Although it did feel a little bit too unrealistic in places, forced and too formulaic. Not too many surprises. The 'style' shots weren't that good, hence the forced.
I like the theme of the ' ( Read more... ) -
FILM REVIEW #7 ??
How to Train Your Dragon:
SO freakin' awesome! I loved it SO MUCH. Definitely more than the two toddlers in front of me. Great, tight script, very funny voices/actors with good timing, really interesting animation and characters and that night-terror dragon was super cute and charming!

Film Review
Defendor:
What could've been a really bad movie or a really smart one just ended up somewhere in between. It was bizarre and had a few nice shots/funny moments, especially when Defendor throws marbles at the bad dudes, but honestly, showing us so much backstory at moments just generally made me feel really bad about these people looked over by ( Read more... ) -

Up in the Air
Pretty decent film, although the trailer spoiled a lot of the good lines. Good acting, but I had a problem with some of the dialogue (sometimes unnatural) and unnecessary characters (Anna’s boyfriend ( Read more... ) -

Last Chance Harvey:
Enjoyable, though at times slightly depressing; a film about relationships, people, loneliness, life, all that good stuff. Great performances, slice of life, not too much else I can remember (saw it last week?). It's a thinker.
6.8/10
Whatever Works:
Surprisingly refreshing and good. I generally dislike, although appreciate, Woody ( Read more... ) -

Dogville:
I loved the trailer, okay. So, anyone who appreciates that, along with a good story, will undoubtedly find *something* to like in Dogville... but for myself, and after a rather misleading idea of it actually being a 'typical' film, meaning good cinematography, locations, sets, etc. and not seeing that right off, without any type of warning ( Read more... ) -

Shattered Glass
Utterly absorbing in its own world of publishing. I loved the bizarre character of Mr. Glass and following along his journey. It really was fascinating in its character study and way it interwove different time jumps. Great performance by Hayden and crew.
7/10
The Fall
Bizarre, but fascinating work of art, every little piece ( Read more... ) -
a quick movie recap
Breach: The first 40 min. were a serious waste of time. Basically I wasted my life watching this film. The pacing was slow, the acting was okay, the directing and set designs were boring, and overall I went against my better judgment and watched this. Big mistake.
2.5/10
