Review of Identity (2006)

By Matt Kelemen (219) for Las Vegas CityLife (159) on 04 Apr 2004

The characters are mostly slices of a whodunit pie, and once the real revelation that spins the story around happens, there isn't much reason…

Review of Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2002)

Review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

By Matt Kelemen (219) for Las Vegas CityLife (159) on 29 Mar 2004

Review of Cold Mountain (2003)

Review of Casa de los Babys (2003)

By Matt Kelemen (219) for Las Vegas CityLife (159) on 29 Mar 2004

Review of Manic (2002)

By Matt Kelemen (219) for Las Vegas CityLife (159) on 03 Mar 2004

Melamed's slavish devotion to frenetically moving hand-held camera shots is perplexing at first, looking like an obvious attempt at obtaining…

Review of Shattered Glass (2002)
