Review of Dogville (2003)

By David N. Butterworth (570) for Movie Boeuf (266) on 13 Apr 2004

Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004)

By David N. Butterworth (570) for Movie Boeuf (266) on 18 Mar 2004

Mel's rockpile is akin to taking Oliver Twist (another well-thumbed literary tome) and focusing entirely on the scene in which Bill Sykes bludgeons…

Review of Cold Mountain (2003)

By David N. Butterworth (570) for Movie Boeuf (266) on 27 Jan 2004

Lovely to look at, engagingly acted, but empty and... well, cold pretty much sums it up…
