Category: Reviews
This is a list of my reviews of individual movies.
I used to rate movies on a five-star scale, but then I realized that the average rating of the movies I’d reviewed was probably at least 4.89.
That lead to the realization that I clearly only spend my time with the movies I love, which is probably time better spent.

Poor White Trash
Poor White Trash was the only film in this festival from which I walked out.
-
The Natural History of the Chicken
Director Mark Lewis is described in his short festival biography as “a master of the eccentric animal documentary.”
-
The Target Shoots First
What started out as counter-culture basement bands in Seattle quickly became mainstream.
-
Playing Mona Lisa
Playing Mona Lisa, based on the play “Two Goldsteins on Acid,” is really a film about life’s meandering journey wrapped in a charming comic shell.
-
Broke Even
Broke Even is a wonderful example of true independent filmmaking.

The Forest for the Trees
Berlinger should stick to his roots.
