Sicko

Michael Moore takes a stab at the US health care system in a documentary that questions your patriotism. A fast paced line up of history, personal stories and comparisons to other nations this film tickles all the senses. Well worth watching this film uncovers a new side to our nation overlooked in recent years.

Smart People

Filled with family dynamics and excellent characters this film fits all walks of life. The wit will hold your attention while the awkward romance will keep you guessing. A movie that will touch your heart as well as your mind; a must see.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Stanley Kubrick shines in his creativity but fails to deliver a film with meaning. An efficient intro sways into a twisted plot with dynamic music and provocative scenes. A lengthy film to watch on a rainy day but its controversy is what keeps it alive and memorable.

Penelope

This romance fantasy failed to deliver a strong plot even though it supplied intriguing characters. The film lacked imagination and dragged at certain parts for being such a simple plot. It would make a better bed time story than movie.

Georgia Rule

Family drama that is blow out of proportion with lying and weak acting. The extensive twists in the plot make for a confusing story that does not end on a positive note. A film you can pass up and not regret.

Things We Lost in the Fire

An intense drama that raises moral issues which may just alter how you view others in your life. From issues of death, drugs, friendship and love this film covers all the bases and every human emotion. Beautifully filmed, edited and superior acting from the entire cast. A film that will touch your heart and make you want to: "Accept the good".

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Empire

The O'Connell family go at it again with another mystery/adventure now in China. Great filming and landscape provide an interesting story plot unlike the previous films. There is still the familiar silly humor and predictable conflicts, yet the fast paced fight scenes make it worth seeing. Nothing dull or repetitive to be seen here.
