 | Fighting For Life [b]Bronson[/b] isn't your typical, formulaic Hollywood biopic that reduces someone's entire life into a lengthy piece of melodramatic fluff. That alone is reason enough to seek out this refreshing take on the genre.More |
 | Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
A lot of controversy surrounds [b]This Is It[/b] and for good reason. Is it merely an exploitation of Michael Jackson? Probably. But is it a film that was worth being made? Yes. Maybe it shouldn’t have been rushed out in the wake of his death, but it is an interesting look at what could have been. While the film does offer great insight into what he and director Kenny Ortega were putting together, it’s ultimately a documentary about a show that will, sadly, never be produced.More |

 | I Cannot Tell a Lie... Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

 | Love Can Be Messy Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
[b]The Burning Plain[/b] is ambitious. Coming from the Guillermo Arriaga, writer of [b]Babel[/b], [b]21 Grams[/b], and [b]Amores Perros[/b], that’s a given, though. However, this is Arriaga’s directorial debut, having broken the tie with collaborator/director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Ironically, it’s not the direction that hinders [b]The Burning Plain[/b] but the writing. It’s merely a great idea that he wasn’t fully able to realize.More |
