It loses far too much steam in the last act, taking what was entertaining and boiling into something preposterous…

Review of To the Wonder (2013)

By Dane M (235) on 27 Apr 2013

Malick's filmmaking is admirable as always, but the narrative's sincerity is wistfully elusive. Sure it's full of wonder, but not too much else…

Review of Rust and Bone (2012)

By Dane M (235) on 30 Mar 2013

What could have be melodrama comes off so unconventionally organic, thanks in large part to it's two dynamic leads…

Review of Robot & Frank (2012)

By Dane M (235) on 09 Mar 2013

Review of Hitchcock (2012)

By Dane M (235) on 08 Mar 2013

It works well as superficial Hollywood fluff, but there's a distinct lack of perception regarding Hitchcock and his methods…

Review of Compliance (2012)

By Dane M (235) on 12 Feb 2013

A grimy and disturbing study almost completely free of genre, which works in symmetry with Dowd's nuanced everywoman performance…

Review of Celeste & Jesse Forever (2012)

By Dane M (235) on 12 Feb 2013

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Dane M (235) on 10 Dec 2012

Pretty dull; to my eyes it relies on star power to compensate for a lack of story…
