  • See it Again: Quantum of Solace

    Rotten Tomato Freshness Meter: Critics – 64% Audience – 62% What You Should Know: This film does not feature a lot of gadgets or villains bent on world domination/destruction. The  two central characters of the film, James Bond and Camille Montes (played by Olga Kurylenko) do not have a love story. This film, like Casino Royale, does…

    See It Again: Man on Fire

    Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Rating: Critics – 39% Audience – 89% What You Should Know: This film has a lot of killing, wounding, kidnapping, torture and murderous intent.  Mr. Washington is very, very dark in this film. This film is graphic, upsetting and in places quite disturbing. This is most definitely not a date movie or a…

  • Doing My Part

    Doing My Part

    Like most people who are interested in making movies I love watching them. Up until a few years ago I saw many, many movies each year in the theater. Then something happened. What happened I couldn’t say for sure, there was not one event that changed everything. I only know that one day going to…

    Steven Soderbergh

    I haven’t written much here about Mr. Soderbergh which is somewhat surprising. I tend to talk about him quite a bit and think about him even more, so this absence shows me just how wrongheaded I have been about posting here. I will lighten up and start posting more. To sum up my feelings about…

  • The Tale of Two Cuts

    The Tale of Two Cuts

    Despite a fairly impressive amount of negative media attention I decided to watch Babylon A.D. this past weekend. I was in the mood for a gritty, rough kind of action film and I was pretty sure that Vin Diesel would deliver. I didn’t really get that from Babylon A.D. Instead, what I ended up with…
