Sleazy "Hyde Park on Hudson" shows some secrets should be kept
Published Jan. 14, 2013
FDR stands for Franklin Delano Roosevelt? Well color me shocked, because throughout "Hyde Park on Hudson," Roger Michell's sleazy piece of Oscar bait, I would've sworn it stood for filthy, dirty and rotten. And that's just the way the film portrays the 32nd President. The movie itself is pretty ugly in its own right.
"Zero Dark Thirty" a dark journey into America's soul
Published Jan. 13, 2013
There are plenty of questions that haunt Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty." They haunt the audience well after the end credits have run and the popcorn has been thrown out. They also make the terrific procedural one of the most thrilling and thought-provoking films of the year.

The ceremony itself is still over a month away, but the nominations, released Thursday morning, have certainly provided enough drama and storylines to keep conversation going until Feb. 24.

Published Jan. 11, 2013

Drive - So Good You'll Cry
Being an avid cinema goer and someone who chose to get an education in film, I think it's fair to say that I've developed some fairly discerning tastes in regard to the medium. This can, at times, be somewhat of a curse. Sure, I probably enjoy a majority of the films I see, but not a lot real...
The Guard is Delightfully Twisted
A few years back, I decided to watch Martin McDonagh's feature debut In Bruges on demand without really knowing much about it. I was pretty impressed. Last night, again with little information, decided to go see his brother, John Michael McDonagh's, debut film The Guard. Again, I was impressed...
Contagion Will Get Under Your Skin
There's a lot to like about Soderbergh's most recent film. For my money, it might be the best film he's made since The Limey. The cast and their performances are mostly excellent. The score is fitting and unique. It breeds paranoia without force-feeding it and is highly respectable and without...
