Marty (1955)

Reviewed on Jul 17, 2009

What bothers me is that the story isn’t really about Marty changing and becoming a better person. It’s about a guy who finally gets lucky and finds a nice girl. Who cares? The only emotional moment is at the end when he turns his back on his friends and family…

Ted Williams (2009)

Reviewed on Jul 7, 2009

Surprisingly good, with just the right amount of dialogue, acting, suspense, violence, and emotion. I can see what Heath Ledger saw in Michelle Williams. She is stunning in this one.
