Pros: Very good core performances Cons: Extraneous characters, lack of core character development, failed vignette structure, ending
Clever filmmaking is a fun and wonderful thing. Sometimes. A director with an eye for the absurd can turn a rather mundane situation into something funny and touching (a good example is PT Andersons Punch Drunk Love). Other times, that ...

Pros: Casting, direction, pacing - everything was wonderful. Cons: The fact that you haven't seen this - fer shame!
Most movies don't surprise me these days. I mean sure, they might at times, have a twist or turn that I wasn't prepared for but for the most part, I can see 'em coming a mile away. This doesn't necessarily take away from the entertainment value of the ...

Pros: ..... Cons: .......
Actually that is rather rude of me to pick the one bizarre thing from this movie and highlight it. There was so much more to offer from this film than a young boys fixation on his Barbie® doll, and her fixation on him. For the record, she didnt ...

Pros: A perfect cast, excellent editing, a story which becomes ever more engrossing and meaningful. Cons: May not please some teenage (and grown) men, or materialists. (That limits American audiences.)
Many times, the experience that we bring to a work of art determines whether or not we appreciate it. If you have ever lived with a crossbred family (or in a conventionally ideal one) enfolded by an upwardly mobile suburb of any American city; if you...

Pros: All-star cast. Cons: Awfully tragic.
The Safety of Objects focuses on four suburban families (and pool guy) beginning with rotating breakfast scenes. When Julie Gold (Jessica Campbell) brings in her brother's guitar, we wonder how she gets away with scoring a mark on the back of it, ...

A film review by
BlackEye
Is there an indie film in current release without a coma at its center? Both Gerrys are comatose in Gus Van Zants latest, as are all the characters populating All the Real Girls. Of course,...

Pros: An excellent story with strong performances by Glenn Close and Dermot Mulroney. Cons: None
This is a great film. It's an independent film with a great cast. I saw it at the Philadelphia Film Festival last year and the directors were waiting for a studio to back it and release it. It's a must see. The story revolves around a housing...
