Here are my movie reviews. I use a five star rating scale. Because I can.

Gerry

Some films have a way of burning their imagery into our minds.

Million Dollar Baby

“Always protect yourself”

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I’d be a liar if I said that I was never tempted to erase seasons from my own past.

Signs

Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

The Incredibles, part 2

Some more notes on the best film of the year, The Incredibles.

The Incredibles

Pixar has one-upped itself; without the subtlety of allegory it still astounds us with its frank approach to the core issues of family.

The Grudge

Ju-on

Super Size Me (part 2)

I’ve changed my mind.

Heist

Mamet is trying too hard.

Holes

I suppose kids eat this sort of thing up. To each his own. Give me The Matrix any day.

Super Size Me

Morgan Spurlock is a hack.

The Mosquito Coast

“It’s an absolute sin to accept the decadence of obsolescence. Why do things get worse and worse? They don’t have to. They could get better and better. We accept that things fall apart.”

The Passion of the Veritas

“If you will not hear the truth, no one can tell you.”

Fog of War

A documentary film by Errol Morris, interviewing Robert McNamara.
