Review of Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

Review of Heavenly Creatures (1994)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

This is truly a creative film, with a dark undercurrent throughout. A mature effort from Peter Jackson…

Review of The Messenger (2009)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

More of a character study than a straightforward narrative, anchored by the ever impressive Ben Foster (who's got great work ahead of him)…

Review of The Last House on the Left (2009)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

This is a remake that had a lot of potential to improve on the original (which is pretty flawed, but memorable), but most of it was uninspired…

Review of The Anniversary Party (2001)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

A who's who of actors appear in this entertaining film, full of plenty of neurotic and self-obsessed people. Worth a viewing…

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

Gilliam and Depp make an excellent pairing, but this is a difficult film to watch…

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

Again, I can't remember what happens, but I know I really liked Jet Li in this, as well as the great action sequences…

Review of The New World (2005)

Malick always gets blasted for not pushing the plot forward or lingering too much…

Review of Pleasantville (1998)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

I like the concept of television and reality becoming warped, and the idea that the sanitized and repressed life of the 1950s portrayed in…

Review of Duplicity (2009)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

Again, we have great actors here, and fine talent behind the camera, but it doesn't come together by the end…

Review of Lucas (1986)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

Try it on, Lucas! This is a charming teen movie, that doesn't rely on obvious sex gags and cliches; well, there are a few cliches, but that's okay…

Review of The Fallen Idol (1948)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

Review of Deception (2008)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

This a cable thriller plot that uses sex as an enticement to watch. Once that wears off, there's nothing really here that's interesting…

Truth be told, the trailers undersell the film and made me avoid it at first…

Review of Dazed and Confused (1993)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

This movie is a lot of fun. No real plot; just slice of life for high school and junior high school students at the dawn of summer in the 70s…

Review of Night of the Creeps (1986)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

I like how all the characters had the last names of horror directors, but this struggles to be a memorable film. Not really scary or funny…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Stephen H (1,156) on 21 Mar 2012

What is Jodie Foster doing? I don't mind vigilante films, but this one didn't really deal with it in a meaningful way…
