- A Christmas Carol - Movie ReviewJim Carrey plays eight roles in this stupendously visual reworking of Charles Dickens’ iconic holiday tale; he delivers each character in unique ways, through accent, facial expression, and carriage.
- Resting Places - Movie ReviewWhat are all those crosses on the highway, who puts them there and how do I build my own? An inventive documentary that pries open a Pandora’s Box of emotion.
- Antichrist - Movie ReviewA blood soaked horror fest with surrealistic overtones in the stripped down von Trier style. Overly disturbing but still a must see for fans of von Trier, Dafoe or Gainsbourg.
- Chelsea on the Rocks - Movie ReviewNostalgic and fun to talk about but not that much fun to listen to. At some point the dead will simply rest in peace.
- Paris - Movie Review
An explosion of acting, sets and costumes that leaves the viewer with a feeling of near permanent glossiness.
- The Maid (La Nana) - Movie ReviewA low budget art house film stretching the envelop in comedic drama. Hilarity and insanity in the world of the workaday.
- Where the Wild Things Are - Movie ReviewMaybe fun viewing for some kids, but even most eight year olds will want more story than this.
- Brief Encounters With Hideous Men - Movie Review 2An insightful glance into the inner psyche of men who find it difficult to love.
- Warsaw Film Festival Oct 9 -18th
The 25th anniversary edition of the Warsaw Film Festival is underway and despite constant rains and stormy skies, audiences are jamming the the multiplex to catch what they can of the latest European and Eastern films. This is a city that is passionate about film.
- Movie Review - The Yes Men Fix the World
The slice of life story of two masters of the modern hoax. More laughs per dollar than any other film fuel.
- Movie Review - Araya
A film of the simplest and most complex of working worlds. A wonderful visual poem.
- Movie Review - An EducationA fun production with a great soundtrack and scrumptious English scenery but the decisions are ultimately too dim to believe.
- Movie Review - Harmony and Me
A great new director with a great and laid back saga that will be too laid back for some but well worth the watching.
- Movie Review - Blind Date
Too psychological and “film school” for some but a fine homage to Theo Van Gogh’s integrity and courage as a filmmaker and student of the human condition.
- Movie Review - Brief Interviews with Hideous MenA haunting exploration into men’s minds that becomes too much of a psychological study to qualify as accessible entertainment for most.
- Movie Review - Chelsea on the Rocks
Nostalgic and fun to talk about but not that much fun to listen to. At some point the dead will simply rest in peace.
