Inviting expanses of beach stretch seemingly forever. Gentle waves cast foam on the shore in patterns that shift as hypnotically as those in a kaleidoscope. The … more
"Vulnerable" is not a word I would have used to describe Humphrey Bogart's on-screen persona. At least not before I saw In a Lonely Place (1950). Bogart … more

Easy A is a 90's movie. More specifically, it's a 90's teen flick in every possible respect. If it had been released in its proper time frame, it would have tacked itself onto a 1999 release, getting … more
There are certain portions of even indie film cinema that go unnoticed a lot. And when these particular movies end up having some popularity going behind them there is generally a sort of curiosity … more

Hit man Frank Falenczyk of Buffalo, NY, has a problem. It took him seven bullets to finish off one contract. With another, a woman this time, he intended to slit her throat but missed and slit her eye. … more
Not a bad movie, just that I've seen Matthew do this before with Jennifer Lopez. They play a silly game, they're both arrogant and sexist and end up together. The Proposal is much better. … more
