Walk All Over Me - Dir. Robert Cuffley (2007)
A naive and unsure girl is introduced to the world of BDSM.
Leelee Sobieski's boobs are a thing of beauty.
Oh...the movie? Yeah, it sucked.

High Plains Drifter
High Plains Drifter - Dir. Clint Eastwood (1973)
Clint Eastwood is 31 flavors of badass in this one.
He rides in, kills three people, then rapes a woman. So, of course, the town puts him in charge.
How awesomely awesome is that?

Speed Racer
Speed Racer - Dirs. The Wachowski Brothers (2008)
A cinematic sugar rush that's more eye sore than eye candy.
Like playing Mario Kart after snorting a line of pixie sticks and mainlining Jolt Cola.

In the Valley of Elah
In the Valley of Elah - Dir. Paul Haggis (2007)
Suffers from a heavy case of didacticism. Further proof that Paul Haggis knows not the definition of subtlety.
Tommy Lee Jones gives a commanding performance to an otherwise tepid picture, even if it's the same world-weary, grizzled old man deal he always does.

Macbeth
Macbeth - Dir. Geoffrey Wright (2006)
Shakespearean classic remade into a plodding and pretentious, modern-day gangster pic.
A tedious, self-important bore.

Dans Paris
Dans Paris - Dir. Christophe Honorè (2006)
A film that is maddeningly French in every way.
Pastiche of traditional French themes such as turbulent romances and familial malaise.
Honorè homages everyone from Godard to Truffaut, Demy, Rivette, Rohmer and Agnès Varda in his futile attempt to imitate those New Wave masters.

Away From Her
Away From Her - Dir. Sarah Polley (2007)
Touching melodrama.
Polley obviously sat under the learning tree of Atom Egoyan, but thankfully jettisons his usual pretentious trappings.
Julie Christie is etheric and sublime.

Iron Man
Iron Man - Dir. Jon Favreau (2008)
More than just a great popcorn film thanks to impeccable performances from an A-list cast.
Just might be THE best comic book superhero movie ever. At least, until The Dark Knight...

Videodrome - Dir. David Cronenberg (1983)
Behold the programmable sex kink assassin and his mighty vaginal death orifice.
Come to Nicki...

The Savages
The Savages - Dir. Tamra Jenkins (2007)
Original Thoughts: Interesting, yet ultimately hollow character study of whiny, upper middle-class literati.
Upon 2nd Viewing: Funny, touching, and sometimes heart-wrenching slice of life. Such a smart, realistically written script carried by the performances of Linney and Hoffman, but Bosco is the true star.
