By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

Review of The Tall Man (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

This is 40 works better as light drama than comedy, with humor defusing the bombs being lobbed in the marriage…

Review of The Deep Blue Sea (1994)

Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

Review of Sinister (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

It owes more than a debt of gratitude to The Shining and The Ring, among others, but Derrickson processes the chilling influences into an eerie…

Review of Compliance (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

Review of Cloud Atlas (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 04 Feb 2013

Review of Hit & Run (2012)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 01 Feb 2013
