FILM REVIEWS

AWAY WE GO

"This is the sweetest movie I have seen all year. It stars Maya Rudolph as Verona, and John Krasinski as Burt, a not so perfect, thirty something couple..."

THE HURT LOCKER

"A tight, often claustrophobic film that follows the harrowing exploits of a bomb diffusion squad, Kathryn Bigelow (Point Break, Strange Days) skillfully shows the lethal tedium..."

DEAD SNOW

"Like all great zombie films, Tommy Wirkola’s stylish Dead Snow breaks all the zombie movie rules, yet definitely will satisfy fans of the those lovable folk who shamble about in search of human flesh..."

SLEEP DEALER

"Sleep Dealer is the best cyberpunk film since Blade Runner, and provides a brilliant counterpoint to its dreamlike predecessor."

IS ANYBODY THERE?

"...the film is filled with sweet, touching and funny moments. Milner does a fine job of making Edward seems like a real ten year old. Once again, Caine is wonderful as the life weary teacher."

THE MYSTERIES OF PITTSBURGH

"I know Thurber adapted Michael Chabon's novel for the screen but it does not make me want to rush to read the book. The film does feature beautiful camera work from Michael Barrett. "

THE ESCAPIST

"...This may be the best prison break movie since THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. "

ALIEN TRESPASS

"...the classic 1950's science fiction adventure. It is lovingly crafted with the right, feel look, and storyline."

BART GOT A ROOM

"My favorite movie of the festival, I definitely recommend checking this film out!"

DISNEYNATURE'S EARTH

"I am generally a sucker for animal stories, especially wild animals. This film didn't disappoint because it follows three animal families and their yearly migration..."

THE GREAT BUCK HOWARD

"The Great Buck Howard does dip repeatedly into nostalgia and sentimentality, but never wallows in it. The directing here is un-flashy, but seamless, and the writing is funny, human, and convincing."
