Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale Movie Review

'Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale' is that rare holiday dark comedy that we loved like 'Bad Santa' for people who might have a more jaded view of that special time of the year. 'Rare Exports' pulls its story from the origin of Santa Claus who was more of a scary figure that kidnapped and killed bad children, but then was tidied up nicely for marketing by certain companies as the nice old man whose lap you have no problem putting your child upon. ...

The King's Speech Movie Review

Colin Firth easily earned all the awards and praise for his role in 'The Kings Speech', a film that is the formulaic Academy Award friendly film that The Weinstein Company loves.. 'The Queen' seems to have started this inside look at the royal family and 'The Kings Speech' continues that tradition not long after Emily Blunt's 'Young Victoria'.

Hugh Hefner - Playboy, Activist and Rebel Documentary Review

I missed it when it aired on PBS (winning an Emmy for documentary) so it was great to be able to review it now. I've always been fascinated in where everything came from and how it really began. ...

Movie Review - "That Day" [1 Journee] Is the Mosaic Mystery About a Dysfunctional Family

"That Day" [1 Journee] is the story about a dysfunctional family and how one haphazard encounter becomes the turning point towards a new beginning. It's a convoluted mosaic, a mystery actually, that slowly takes shape and reveals much about the perplexity, sadness and irony of their disconnected lives. ...

I Love You Phillip Morris Starring Jim Carey Movie Review

'I Love You Phillip Morris' has had a long route to the screen, and sadly it will go just as quickly at the theaters even though it is one of Jim Carrey's best performances to date. I've already mentioned the sad case of Hollywood Shelf Hell that plagued 'I Love You Phillip Morris' as the Jim Carrey Ewan McGregor starrer wound up embroiled in a distributor mess, but thankfully finally got resolved so it could be shown here in the United States, but the timing could be very off for the film since it gets a very limited release. ...
