Groundbreaking
PostedFebruary 8, 2010
A movie that wows with technical bravado while at the same time deals with important societal and personal themes. The film also seeks a correction to traditional views of religion without denying the sacred nature of the interrelation of all living things.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great update of When Worlds Collide
PostedNovember 16, 2009
The plot has been done before. This movie is about special effects, and they are stunning. The movie is a bit like a Disneyland ride.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Where The Wild Things Are
PostedOctober 19, 2009
A good psychological study of preadolescent dilemmas. Treatment leaves much to be desired. Wait for the DVD.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

A much needed perspective.
PostedOctober 12, 2009
While not as focussed as Moore's previous movies [perhaps because the subject was far broader?], Moore successfully describes the vital distinction between democracy and capitalism and it is largely a moral one. The common good vs the plutocrats.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

An unfunny cliche
PostedOctober 12, 2009
The message of the movie delivered symbolically through the threat and killing of the zombies wasn't worth waiting for. Woody was wooden.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Year's best adventure
PostedAugust 11, 2008
If possible see it in IMAX. Ledger's Joker adds menace to comedy. Batman becomes the dark hero he was meant to be.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Better than Hellboy I
PostedJuly 14, 2008
This movie moved further away from the comic book feel of the first HB into a world closer to that created in Pan's Labyrinth. Spectacular imagery.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Effective
PostedMay 27, 2008
This sequel did not measure up to the allegorical quality of the the first film. The drama with the animals was not really that connected to ideas as in the first film. Instead, they were treated as comic book characters. It was either a failure of imagination or an effect of budget cutting. In fact the movie was little better than a slightly warmed over old Robin Hood story which might appeal to the 8 year old crowd, but is hardly fit fare for "people of all ages." I was disappointed.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
