Beginners is an amazing film. The time shifting and non-linear storytelling add depth and bring the story to life. 4/5
TT3d: Closer to the Edge is a compelling look into a freakishly dangerous race. A couple of people died while filming the race. 3.75/5
Despite the excellent cast, Our Idiot Brother doesn't work as a comedy or a drama. It skirts the edges of both and fails on both counts. 2.5/5
I haven't seen Quills since it's initial theatrical release. It doesn't hold up very well. It's about 15 minutes too long. 2.5/5
Too Much Pussy is an odd documentary about a group of feminist artists as they travel around Europe. More of a curiosity piece than anything. Hard to recommend. 3/5
I haven't seen Falling Down since it originally came out in theaters. I remember liking it quite a bit. If I lived in the world Michael Douglas lived in, I would probably have gone crazy and killed everyone as well. What a bunch of assholes. 3.25/5
The Devil's Double had lots of potential but the directing just didn't do anything with the material. Worth watching once then forgetting. 3.5/5
Margin Call is an interesting look into the recent financial crisis. A list cast brings their game. It tends to be a little theatrical but a solid watch. 3.5/5
Faces in the Crowd has an interesting gimmick but lacks a little in the thriller aspect. 3.25/5
Flypaper is a fun comedy but instantly forgettable. 3/5
Szamanka aka. Chamauka is a psycho sexual thriller that is lite on the psycho thriller but heavy on the sexual and that's not really a good thing. Plus there is weird cannibalism at the end. 2.75/5
he Howling Reborn, more like The Howling Stillborn. Horrible waste of time and money. 0.5/5
The Thin Man is a great comedy. I can't wait to see the rest of the series. 4.25/5
Picked up The Wild Bunch on blu-ray for next to nothing. Only my second time to see it and it is so much better than I remember. 4/5
I'm not a big fan of early Roman Polanski films and Cul-De-Sac did nothing to change that opinion. 2/5
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane wasn't as good the second time around. It has its moments but it's kind of flawed. 3/5
Page Eight has a great cast but is really dull. 2.5/5
Red Heat starts with nude men in loin cloths and goes down from there. It doesn't really work. Jim Belushi should quit acting. 2.75/5
Black Moon is an Alice in Wonderland style story about a girl's transformation into a woman. It's a bit slow and only slightly odd. 3.5/5
I really hate mumblecore films. I'm not sure if Cold Weather is one but it starts out OK, then character's just disappear and nothing happens for most of the run time and the film says nothing in the process. 2/5
I enjoy a good crime caper film but The Anderson Tapes didn't really work for me. Sean Connery does a good job. 3/5
The Hill is a great man vs man film. Sidney Lumet is an expert with this. Sean Connery is amazing. 4.5/5
The Drummond Will is a decent black comedy so it's worth a watch. Just don't expect much. 3/5
Bridge on the River Kwai is one of my favorite films. It's in my top ten. Just a perfect movie and it looks even better on blu-ray. 5/5
Les Diabolique is a great thriller. I highly recommend it. Again the blu-ray is just impressive. 4.25/5
I enjoyed The Man Who Would be King. It's not great but Michael Caine and Sean Connery do great jobs. It's like a British version of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. 3.5/5
