Americano (2005)

Reviewed on Apr 27, 2008

With wonderful music and a fun, casual shooting style, it’s got a great feel. Like “Go”, an unflinching yet genuine look at young people being themselves, trying to get some fun out of life. Just wish the story had a bit more drama. Jackson has presence. I don’t think he’s…

The Number 23 (2007)

Reviewed on Apr 25, 2008

A bit of a disappointment. The number paranoia is kind of interesting, but not enough to carry a plot. Carrey is better as a psychotic in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Singin’ in the Rain (1952)

Reviewed on Apr 23, 2008

Lucky You (2007)

Reviewed on Apr 21, 2008

If you like poker, it’s kind of interesting. But the story is blah, and the acting is even more blah. Bana’s losing steam fast, and this must be the most uninspired performance of Barrymore’s career.

88 Minutes (2007)

Reviewed on Apr 20, 2008

Better than I thought it was gonna be. Enough twists to keep it interesting, although there is so much going on that it borders on the confusing. Pacino’s getting old, but he’s still got it. What’s with his hair, though?
