85 T9 The Tree of Life (2011) - Jul 18, 2011
"Two things: 1. Malick has managed to capture the essence of memory 2. The profusion of beautiful imagery. Any faults the film has (and it has its fair share) pale into insignificance when these two things are taken into account."
80 T8 Alone Across the Pacific (1963) - Jul 11, 2011
"A fine film that shows how driven some people can be. I found the main character to be quite a complex fellow, and that's what I found interesting; his obsessive attention to detail is at odds with his often haphazard behaviour. He's a bit of a dreamer who doesn't seem to live in the real world, but he has enough grit and tenacity to get the job done. Technically, the film is solid and features some great camerawork. "
90 T10 Owning Mahowny (2003) - Apr 06, 2011
"One of the best films about the psychology of gambling and gamblers that I've seen. Philip Seymour Hoffman in the title role gives a performance of such mesmerising intensity that you just can't take your eyes off him wherever he's in the frame and whatever he's doing. "
65 T5 The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964) - Feb 01, 2012
"I'm all for neorealism and as far as that goes this is very good, but as for the content it's really just a bloke going around spouting his opinions to anyone who'll listen, which gets old after a while."
65 T5 A Serbian Film (2010) - May 16, 2011
"It's well shot and acted. Don't know if I buy into all this allegory stuff. For now I'd say it's pretty silly, and occasionally downright hilarious in its outrageousness, but it has a sufficiently nasty streak through it to make an impression. For those who like extreme violence it's a must see, and needless to say if you're easily offended stay well clear. For me though it's not in the same league as 'Irreversible' in terms of being disturbing. That one has stayed with me. I doubt this will."
85 T9 Project Nim (2011) - Feb 07, 2012
"Packs an emotional punch, which was obviously its intention, rather than explaining some scientific study. Very well put together, and quite quite sad on a number of levels. "
95 T10 Diamonds of the Night (1964) - Mar 27, 2011
"This film will leave you short of breath. It's told with a pressing urgency and fierce passion, and features brilliant black and white photography and some fantastic camerawork. You can almost smell the sap from the trees and pine scent in the air as the camera rushes up slopes and through gulleys at breakneck pace."
50 T3 Bigger Than Life (1956) - May 30, 2012
"Overblown melodrama a la Douglas Sirk. Could have been much better if it had a bit of subtlety about it, but it's just too cheesy. "
50 T3 Desk Set (1957) - Oct 07, 2012
"I like both Tracy and Hepburn, but this is just so lame and cheesy it started to irritate me."
50 T3 Beginners (2011) - Oct 21, 2011
"This is a film that thinks it's very hip and smart but is very far from either."
