The Cameraman 1928, Unrated)
His only great film after signing on with MGM. And one of his best. MGM claimed to have worn their copy out by making all new employees watch it as an example of "the perfect comedy". |

Dear Frankie 2004, PG-13)
This movie is just about perfect. Great story. Fantastic performances. Gerard Butler. Beautiful Scottish setting and accents. Good soundtrack. Gerard Butler. Need I say more? |

300 2007, R)
Forget that George Lucas crap; THIS is what CGI was created for. And, suddenly, Gerard Butler becomes a "known" actor in the world of Hollywood. |

Our Hospitality 1923, Unrated)
The first Keaton film I saw and still one of my favorites. Fantastic subtle gags and an adorable dog. Also, keep an eye out in the river scene; if you watch closely, you can see where a safety rope attached to Buster snaps. He almost got swept away and drowned filming that. |

The Philadelphia Story 1940, Unrated)
Three of the best actors of the era in a fantastic and funny film. It's a movie of subtleties and innuendo, where what ISN'T said is just as interesting (if not more so) than what IS said. |

Dan in Real Life 2007, PG-13)
I just loved it. Genuinely funny and moving, and with great performances. I just wish there had been more of the family. I could have easily spent another hour or so with them. :) |

Slumdog Millionaire 2008, R)
The acting is fantastic, the cinematography is beautiful, the story is dramatic, romantic, tragic, enthralling. Good soundtrack. There's nothing I didn't love about this movie. It may not be perfect, but at this moment I can't bring myself to rate this lower than 5 stars. It's a film that I will pay for, repeatedly. Happily. |
