You Too Can Shine Like Steve Carell

I watched Dan in Real Life on PPV this weekend. It was my second time to see the film. I originally viewed the film alone at the movie theater. Sadly, I couldn’t find anyone interested in seeing the movie with me. Anyhoo… to the point - Steve Carell is a genius. It’s my opinion [...]

First, Holly Kennedy (Hilliary Swank) is unlikeable from the very first minutes of the [...]

Film Review - Fur

This weekend I watched the movie Fur, a strange film, but strange in a magnificent way. Firstly, it’s one of the few films for which I can say, “Nicole Kidman is fabulous!” Secondly, it costars Robert Downey Jr., one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood.

Film Review - Stage Beauty

I’m not the only person to have overlooked Stage Beauty. It was awarded Overlooked Film of the Year (2004) by the Phoenix Film Critics Society. I feel fortunate to have found this gem in the Netflix catalog.
If you liked Shakespeare in Love, there is no reason why you won’t like this film. And, if you’re [...]
