Review of Stagecoach (1939)

By Adam Z (211) on 27 Feb 2009

By Adam Z (211) on 14 Feb 2009

Review of Marnie (1964)

By Adam Z (211) on 07 Jan 2009

Review of Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

By Adam Z (211) on 04 Jan 2009

I'm not sure what to say about this since I'm really not sure what to make of it. Was it brilliant or terrible? A little of both…

Review of Carlito's Way (1993)

By Adam Z (211) on 29 Dec 2008

De Palma's answer to Goodfellas. Pacino is a force of nature in this film. You can't take your eyes off of him because he's so good in it…

Review of Amistad (1997)

By Adam Z (211) on 12 Dec 2008

The story of Cinque deserves more attention in today's schools, and Djimon Hounsou is spellbinding in a breakthrough performance…

Review of Amarcord (1973)

By Adam Z (211) on 06 Dec 2008

It doesn't exactly belong in the league of Fellini's other classics, but as a love letter to Italy, it's very well made…
