Review of Citizen Kane (1941)

By Hal M (105) on 05 Jun 2012

Review of The 39 Steps (1935)

By Hal M (105) on 23 May 2012

Hitchcock's best-known film prior to his move to Hollywood. This flick is somewhat of a template for Saboteur and North by Northwest…

Review of Friends with Benefits (2011)

Review of Catch-22 (1970)

By Hal M (105) on 02 May 2012

Joseph Heller's great novel makes for poor source material as a motion picture. Mike Nichols, still in his prime, took a decent shot at it…

Review of Play Misty for Me (1971)

By Hal M (105) on 23 Feb 2012

Review of Play It Again, Sam (1972)

By Hal M (105) on 04 Feb 2012

Woody Allen's best pure film comedy. He did not direct it, F.Y.I., but wrote the play it's based on, and stars in it…
