Movies
- The End of Poverty? - Movie Review
The most articulate film to date describing the modern means and methods of the free market enslavement of undeveloped countries.
- Home - Movie Review
A surrealistic look at a family thrown onto the chopping block of modern technology.
- Me and Orson Welles - Movie ReviewA small but revealing inside look at Orson Welles at the crisis of his life and the inside story of glamorous 1930’s Broadway.
- The Private Lives of Pippa Lee - Movie ReviewA heart felt effort but too slow to be called completely entertaining. Plenty of time to think in between crises.
- Broken Embraces (Los Abrazos Rotos) - Movie Review
A sumptuous and saddening feast of noir massaged in minute detail by the master of women in trouble.
- Fantastic Mr. Fox - Movie ReviewWes Anderson tries his hand at comedy with first class results in this retelling of the children’s tale. Using classic handmade stop motion animation techniques, he takes us back to a warmer, friendlier cartoon era while retaining the story’s witty and somewhat adult edge.
- Just Laugh! - Movie Review
A great film about so too obvious to think about but so rare and valuable that we can never do it enough.
- Women in Trouble - Movie ReviewA good look at men dealing with women and a good look at the supposedly soft side of porn doesn’t make a good looking film.
- Pirate Radio - Movie ReviewFun, fun, fun until the Prime Minister takes the T-Bird away.
- The Messenger - Movie ReviewThis film will be too much for some viewers because of the spot-on antiwar statement but the story is tight and the performances powerful.
- 2012 - Movie ReviewRoland Emmerich’s up to his familiar old ways – “My films are bigger, louder and splashier than yours are!” and while that may be true, it doesn’t make them good or worthy.
- The Box - Movie ReviewOne wonders why The Box is released now, during Oscar season and not buried in shame in January or February.
- The Wedding Song (Le chant des mariées) - Movie Review
César nominee writer/director Karin Albou summons a genie with this pair of love stories, set in the worst of times, that challenge loyalties to the limit.
- You Cannot Start Without Me: Valery Gergiev, Maestro
An unabashed sales job for symphonic Russian legend Valery Gergiev produces some of the most beautiful music in any video as well as some insight into the current maestro of maestros.
- 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.
