Mini-Review: Few films are so depressing that they're haunting. Edith Evans is remarkably out of this world.

Mini-Review: Listen, everybody: Scorsese made it very clear how he was going to make this film within the first ten minutes as we, the audience, are slowly pulled through the gates of Shutter Island accompanied with a bombastic, moody score. It sets the tone for the entire picture, and it's basically at that point you'll know if you like it or not. For those like me who adore it, it's a cinematic treat. I love this man. I love how he makes films. I love the mystery, the tricks, the talent. I love it all.

Mini-Review: Just when I thought a directorial debut couldn't match Blomkamp's this year, let alone in the same genre, Jones gives us Moon. Moon captivated me from start to finish without needing to get specific or technical about the concepts it explores. Furthermore, I found very little about the plot predictable; rather I let the film take me on its journey, fascinated as the slow but enticing mystery unfolded. I'd go on with my laundry list of adoration, but I'll conclude on Rockwell, who is perfection.

Mini-Review: It's Guy Ritchie making a Sherlock Holmes film, so everyone should expect and embrace the action and fast dialogue. I enjoyed it thoroughly, from the screenplay to the catchy score. I completely buy Downey Jr. as the famous detective, as well. I didn't think much of the casting at first, but now I can't think of anyone better.
