film review

  • By October 14, 2011

    Politics is a dirty game. While reiterating this unfortunate truism isn’t particularly enlightening, it does make for good entertainment.

    The Ides of March is another installment in a long line of political films showing that there is no such thing as an honest politician. George Clooney’s fourth film as a director, The Ides of March is fast, smart and thrilling in a way similar to Moneyball and other confident dramas.

  • Ryan Gosling’s latest action film Drive is a complex exercise in style

  • New York Times documentary lifts the veil on the most important newspaper in the world

    By September 22, 2011

    The New York Times is the single most important news outlet in America.

  • The Help is nothing to scoff at

    By September 1, 2011

    The Help is not as progressive as it would like to be nor as backwards as some critics have called it. It is simply a good film, well acted and with a strong emotional cord that will move and reassure viewers, although not challenge them.

  • Growing up with The Tree of Life is a rewarding experience

    By August 18, 2011

    To say that The Tree of Life is unconventional cinema would be an understatement. To say that it is what cinema should be is touching closer to the truth.

  • Beginners in happiness and love

    By August 13, 2011

    Beginners is the story of a grieving son and frustrated lover, and the memories of his father who enjoyed liberation only at the very end of his life. But more than that, it is the story of how it is never too late to chase after that ever-elusive dream called happiness.
