Director: David Gordon Green Genre: Drama/Thriller Year: 2004 Justin had recommended this movie a long time ago and it took me forever and a day to get around to watching it, which is a shame, because this was one hell of a movie. Set in rural Georgia, a single father (Dermot Mulroney) is trying to [...]

Director: Mike Figgis Genre: Comedy Year: 2001 To be frank, I had been relatively a Figgis Virgin. The only movie of his I think I may have seen is Leaving Las Vegas…and I am not sure that I saw all of it. But I know that he commands a cult following. This movie, did not [...]

Director: Alex Proyas Genre: Sci-Fi/Horror Year: 1998 One of the best sci fi movies to come out on our times. Inventive and innovative and yes, it came before The Matrix, so if one copied the other we know which did what. Not that the Matrix and Dark City are really that similar, though they share [...]

Director: Jarred Hess Genre: Comedy Year: 2004 Allright, I have to admit it, I was late catching this bus, though it was not due to a lack of life but rather a matter of principle. By nature, I have a hard time embracing something that gets so ridiculously popular so ridiculously quickly. I am not [...]

Director: Phillip Haas Genre: Drama/Romance Year: 1995 I am still thinking about this movie. I suppose that when a flick leaves you chewing on it for a while after you have watched it is a sign that it was not that bad. Unless the only reason you keep thinking about it is to remember how [...]

Director: Mike Mitchell Genre: Action/Adventure/Family/Comedy Year: 2005 Yes…I went to see it, but I was on a date with my oldest daughter, so I could not exactly take her to see Dark Water. She had already seen ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and I am not sure how well she would do watching a documentary [...]

Director: Jorgen Leth Genre: Documentary Year: 2003 One of the most interesting Docs I have watched in a a long while. Interesting not only in its approach but also in its content, this documentary allows us to glimpse into the genial mind of some of the most artistic directors of our time. Jorgen Letha and [...]

Director: Pedro Almodovar Genre: Drama/Thriller Year: 2004 By now, the name should sound at the very least vaguely familiar. One of the driving forces of Spanish Cinema and director of great movies like “Hable Con Ella (Speak to her)”, “Todo Sobre mi Madre (All About my Mother)” and “Carne Tremula (Live Flesh)” and producer for [...]

Director: Brad Anderson Genre: Drama/Thriller Year: 2004 I knew I was going to watchh this movie the moment I heard about it. When I heard what Christian Bale had done for it, I simply had to see it for myself. The movie could have tanked for all I care, but I wanted to see proof [...]
