The Mill And The Cross

The Mill And The Cross

Directed by Lech Majewski

From a purely visual standpoint, The Mill And The Cross is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen, though sadly it does not boast enough content to match the visuals.

War Horse

War Horse

Directed by Steven Spielberg

Dripping with that signature Spielberg melodrama, War Horse is a beautifully shot, well-paced, but ultimately predictable war drama. Spielberg hasn't been this good for years.

Warrior

Warrior

Directed by Gavin O'Connor

With solid central performances (most notably an inspired performance by Tom Hardy) and an emotionally satisfying conclusion, Warrior makes for a solid (albeit forgettable) entry in the fighting/boxing sub-genre.

A Dangerous Method

A Dangerous Method

Directed by David Cronenberg

Considering David Cronenberg's past 3 directorial efforts (Spider, A History Of Violence, and Eastern Promises), expectations were high for this potentially great biopic. Sadly, it did not deliver.

Hugo

Hugo

Directed by Martin Scorsese

I often find myself going into movies fairly certain as to whether or not I will enjoy the movie I will be watching. In the months prior to watching Hugo, I had deceived myself into thinking that it would be a irredeemably childish and totally uninteresting. Being the warped, frustrated young man that I am, I refused to acknowledge the fact that it could very well be a wholesome, entertaining motion picture. I stand corrected.
