CRAZY HEART
Jeff Bridges shows why he will win the Academy Award for Best Actor.
A vibrant, splashy, well-executed movie musical that shares characteristics of some of the best musicals of all-time
It is not without flaws, but they are overshadowed by a fun update to this character with perfect casting of Robert Downey, Jr, and Jude Law.
Never before has a film so successfully married special effects and live-action, and with the added third dimension, it’s truly a spellbinding sight to behold.
Numerous ninjas have been in and out of the room where you’re reading this review right now.
Tom Ford has made a film that will engage the senses, but outside of pain, pain and more pain, this movie didn’t engage my care.
This story could easily be trapped in the stuffiness of the worst PBS special. But great actors and lush production elevate it to a memorable two hours.
Characters are shallow for no good reason, and no relationships or situations have real weight. That would be all fine and good if “Pirate Radio” were funnier.
It wouldn’t surprise me if “Up In The Air” wins just about every award it’s eligible for.
It is that rare and breathtaking theatrical experience for those of us that truly love, revel, and live in movies.
In this movie, Black Dynamite goes to Kung Fu Island. If that’s not enough to get you to see it, then stop reading.
If there’s anyone capable of building something that could withstand Armageddon, it’s probably the Chinese.
The film is valiantly crafted, and yet it can’t possibly reach the complexity of McCarthy’s vision.

Random films from my own “overlooked gems” collection, with accompanying reviews.

Marion Crane, potential womanly threat, was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We all have ‘em: movies that we like, even love, which somehow get lost in the grand shuffle called “posterity”.

Jennifer Cody gives us the lowdown on her strong film debut in “The Princess and Frog”

A well written, masterfully executed mockumentary that all fans of film need to see. Then buy it!
Gotta be on your guard here. At any moment a nerd could swoop in with a sneak attack.
Granted, the world of Pandora resembles very little of our world here, and CGI may be the only way for us to see it all the way Cameron intends. But compared to the real-world footage shot for the film, Pandora looks like the world of Myst.
