GRADE: 2 out of 5 First of all, I think they should’ve kept the memoir title for the movie, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, doesn’t that sound awesome! But of course I understand that the marketing folks would have a hard time getting approval to plaster that on billboards and TV spots. Secondly, BEING [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 FOOTNOTE is an Israeli film that’s Oscar-nominated this year for Foreign language category and I can see why it received the nod. It’s quite possibly one of the funniest rivalry stories I’ve ever watched, and what makes the dilemma even more complicated is that it’s between father and son. I [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 This is one dark drama that blows my mind, it is that damn good! Wrapped in a blanket of revenge and crime tale is a heart-wrenching unrequited love story and Actor Matthias Schoenaerts gives a towering performance as a man who doesn’t feel like he could fully function because of [...]

This year fortunately, the short films that are nominated for the [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 I’ve got two words for CHRONICLE: Super Cool! What a fantastic film! So much fun! The three characters on the screen havin’ a blast with their superpowers and we the audience get to have a blast with them, CHRONICLE is that engaging! I’m not too crazy about found footage or [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 At times it feels like a long episode of Man Vs. Wild but the film’s occasional detour to drama about mortality and faith and questions about what happens when you die while trying to survive through dangerous elements keeps me fixed on THE GREY. Liam Neeson is the man, it [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 Gary Oldman finally received his first Oscar nomination ever for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but Oldman is one of those few caliber consistent actors who always give his best in every role he plays and you could see that mastery even from the start, with some of his early films [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 Wow! If you’d like to see an effective yet distressing movie about the rise of a sociopath, then WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN is your movie. With towering performances by Tilda Swinton and Ezra Miller, the film walks on the thin line between horror and drama, for some reason [...]
