Review of Mo' Better Blues (1990)

By Ripö M (410) on 18 Jan 2011

Like a long saxophone riff at a jazz club that never seems to end until the player's come off his high. Glorious score by Terence Blanchard, though…

Review of I Am Love (2010)

By Ripö M (410) on 15 Jan 2011

Review of Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

By Ripö M (410) on 13 Jan 2011

Review of Children of a Lesser God (1986)

By Ripö M (410) on 01 Jan 2011

Review of Auntie Mame (1958)

By Ripö M (410) on 29 Dec 2010

Splashy, flamboyant slice of life has plenty of charm and joie de vivre to go around. Still a great one to see with your favourite eccentric relative…

Review of Tess (1979)

By Ripö M (410) on 18 Dec 2010
