The Human Stain is a never-ending trip into the depths of character development, and the end result is a bit of a mixed bag. The comes as a bit of a surprise considering the wealth of talent involved. The film opens with a tragic car accident, then introduces us to… Continue reading
It is in writing a review for this film that one realizes just how silly the whole premise is. Freddy Krueger just is not scary anymore. At least that’s the word on Elm Street. If people are not afraid of him, how is he supposed to enter their dreams and… Continue reading
I would be willing to bet right now that no other reviewer in the country is as “in the dark” about this movie than me. Not having HBO has put me at a disadvantage in way, in that Project Greenlight (the show that discovered screenwriter Erica Beeney and Directors Efrom… Continue reading

Allow me to begin this review by stating that while both Matrix films are good, I do not regard them as the end-all, be-all of film. The Matrix has, in a strange way, become the Star Wars of this generation. Its crowd seems to have the same mindset as many… Continue reading
