Review of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (2010)

Review of Jacob (2011)

Review of State and Main (2000)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013

Between a 7/10 and 8/10, this is probably the funniest Mamet piece to date (but not the weightiest), and it might be destined to take a seat…

Review of Ronin (1998)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013

A film in which the mechanics of the plot are far less interesting, and vital, than the interior landscape of men who exist outside the law…

Review of House of Games (1987)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013

A conceptual film about con artists, Mamet's feature debut is a deadpan, deviously comic melodrama that proceeds with twists and reversals…

Review of The Verdict (1982)

Review of Edmond (2006)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013

Review of Wag the Dog (1997)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013

Wag The Dog is an oft-hilarious, witty, scathing satire that represents four gifted if uneven artists (De Niro, Hoffman, Levinson, and Mamet)…

Review of Hoffa (1992)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013

Between a 5/10 and 6/10, Nicholson's intense, volcanic performance saves this part-fact, part-fiction biopic that's a little too in awe of…

Review of Redbelt (2008)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013

Review of Vanya on 42nd Street (1994)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Jun 2013
