Daydream Nation
May 12, 2011
Daydream Nation (2010) marks the directorial debut of Michael Goldbach and he certainly wears his influences on his sleeve as he evokes television shows like Twin Peaks, other films like Juno (2007), and musical groups like Sonic Youth. It all adds up...
Legion (Blu-Ray)
August 12, 2010
Before I watched this film for the first time I broke my own golden rule and actually read a review first. I try not to do that because I find many reviewers often disagree with me, and even if they do agree with me it’s usually for different reasons....
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
November 29, 2009
When Michael Bay’s Transformers was released in 2007 it was met with much criticism from Transformers fans and film critics alike. It was overly long, had a series of obvious plot devices, relied too much on poor humour, the action scenes were cut too...
Cloverfield
April 18, 2008
Cloverfield was the first media sensation of 2008 and an excellent case study in canny marketing. A teaser trailer appeared in theaters months ahead and featured a few, brief, tantalizing scenes of chaos in Manhattan with no mention of a title or who...

An Unfinished Life
May 1, 2006
An Unfinished Life (2005) is one of those character-driven kinds of movies that takes its time letting us gradually get to know its characters. It isn’t terribly original but a well-made effort nonetheless. Einar Gilkyson (Redford) leads a simple existence...
Jarhead: Collector’s Edition
March 12, 2006
Anticipation was high for Jarhead (2005), the cinematic adaptation of Anthony Swifford’s book of the same name about his experiences as a U.S. foot soldier in the first Persian Gulf War. The reaction to the movie was underwhelming to say the least as...
