Freedom Writers 2007, PG-13)
Excellent flick. Hilary Swank does an admirable enough job, but the real kudos here must go to the extraordinary performances by the actors and actresses playing her students. It was their show !! Recommended !! |

Professione: reporter (The Passenger) 1995, PG-13)

|
| 267 |
Real Time 2008, R)
Jay Baruchel is among the most talented young actors of today. A natural, and very funny. Randy Quaid is like fine wine. A consummate professional. |
|

The Sticky Fingers of Time 1997, Unrated)
Fascinating !! A real film noir feel. Like a 50s pulp novel come to life. Call it a mysterious sci-fi with zero special effects...how refreshing !! Captivating |

Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage 2010, Unrated)
Mere words cannot describe the greatness within`. Several more views are in order. Very impressive documentary !! Some great glimpses of the early band and comments from musical peers. Above all, it`s a real look at an enduring friendship. Highly recommended !! |
|

Dazed and Confused 1993, R)
Genius !! An instant favorite. I think a combination of the DVD cover art and the title had led me to believe that this film was just another ridiculous |

The Cake Eaters 2007, R)
Kristen Stewart is remarkable here. Bruce Dern is rock solid as ever. |

|

Who Loves the Sun 2006, Unrated)
Pine Trees. Water. Huge rocks and steep cliffs. And Molly Parker. How can one go wrong? Beautiful Canadian scenery becomes a character unto itself. My first re-watch tonight was better than my first. NICE !!! |

Let the Right One In 2008, R)
Five stars +++++. A truly exceptional Swedish offering, destined to be a classic !! Magnificent in every regard !! There is an English and French dub but please go with the original Swedish 5.1 audio and subtitles. Sound is superb. I went to bed thinking about the ending and woke up thinking about the ending. I will NOT go near the North American remake which is to the best of my knowledge already in the works? This film ROCKS !! |

In a Day 2006, Unrated)

Suck 2009, R)
AWESOME !! I only purchased the DVD because Alex Lifeson of Rush had a bit part according to the credits on the case. I was totally impressed. A rock and roll vampire tale? This one fires on many cylinders with humor packing the best punch. Insanely witty script and some sweet stop-motion effects, so refreshing in an age of computer generated images. {of which there is some} The original music is great. The gore is tasteful, and again laced with humor. A good time. Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Moby, even a cameo by Carole Pope of Rough Trade. As for Alex Lifeson...he is downright hilarious in his own kind of way. Laugh out loud funny !! |

The Year My Voice Broke 1987, PG-13)
Now this is a wonderful film. So fine. I`m in a state of awe as a matter of fact. I love the simplicity, everyday events in lives that are far from extraordinary. "The Year My Voice Broke" had me feeling that I was not merely watching a movie, but I was walking along with the characters.....I`m a bit speechless actually? See it people !! Wonderfully crafted, exquisitely acted, and beautiful landscapes. Highly recommended for all ages. Among the greatest "coming of age" films you`ll see !! |

Boxing Helena 1993, R)
Probably my favorite "so bad it`s great" film ever !! Dark, silly, and twisted. Cult classic camp written all over it !! Beautiful trash !!! |

The King's Speech 2010, PG-13)
One need not be interested in the monarchy and it`s history to be pulled into this finely crafted and superbly acted film. And who knows? It may have even tweaked a bit of interest in this viewer? A good film. |
