The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
I've always been a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" novels, as well as "The Hobbit." Not in a sense that I am familiar with every little detail of Middle Earth's history, or total trivia, but in a sense [...]
Life of Pi
"Life of Pi" was an interesting phenomenon to me. The trailers did not appeal to me at all, giving me no reason to venture into a movie theater and see the film, despite the fact that I usually enjoy Ang Lee's films a whole lot. Somehow the [...]
Wreck-It Ralph
When I saw the first trailers for "Wreck-It Ralph" last year, I was instantly enamored with the concept. Here was a heartfelt love letter to classic arcade games, the kind of which I have spent countless hours and dimes on during my youth. How [...]

The Insider
Among the films of Michael Mann, "The Insider" is, perhaps, one of those that is most easily overlooked, despite the fact that it is actually one of his best in many ways. It is a powerful drama exploring the struggle of two men as they fight a [...]
Seven Psychopaths
"Seven Psychopaths" is probably unlike any film you've ever seen. In a world flooded with movies, this film managed to carve out a niche that is all its own. As it featured a promising cast, I was delighted to give the Blu-Ray Disc a closer [...]
