Movie Reviews

An Earth scared by massive solar flares is the setting for a film noir sci-fi adventure which evokes both Isaac Asimov’s "I, Robot" and Philip K. Dick's "Blade Runner", but goes much deeper.

'Gone Girl' is about Amy's disappearance: physical, spiritual and psychic. The question is did Nick ever really know her enough to inspire her to come back to him to clear his name?

Agatha is the catalyst who sets the heavens in motion back to her beginnings in this sometimes sardonic always intriguing and deep film by David Cronenberg.

'The Color of Pomegranates' by Sergei Parajanov, is a masterwork by a director of genius who was blacklisted and then served 5 years in a Soviet Gulag in 1973. His films ran contrary to Soviet standards. Parajanov's innovations stand today as a hallmark of vision and experimentation. A maverick ahead of his time, Parajanov's minimalism created visual poetry that was and still is unique to the craft of cinema.

Not just one of the year’s best thrillers, but one 2014's best films period.

A truly great love story because of how real the situations and character reactions are.

"Heaven Knows What" is not an easy film, but it's important, making us uncomfortable in its unrelenting "in your face" examination addiction's darkness.

In 'Seymour, An Introduction' Ethan Hawke shows his chops as a first time documentary filmmaker using a surprising subject in a unique and intuitive process. The film is excellent for what and how it reveals a real and human portrait of friend and mentor of Hawke, former concert pianist, teacher, and composer, the incomparable Seymour Bernstein.

A big ol’ blast of badass that audiences are in dire need of.

Motivational Growth could be performed as a stage play, if it wasn’t for that heads-blowing-up thing.
