Review of Breach (2007)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 03 Mar 2007

Review of Apocalypto (2006)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 05 Dec 2006

Review of The Science of Sleep (2006)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 13 Oct 2006

Review of The Life of Emile Zola (1937)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 19 Aug 2006

The patchy, overly earnest screenplay as well as the typically shapeless direction of William Dieterle keep calcifying the movie into an arid diorama…

Review of Miami Vice (2006)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 14 Aug 2006
