The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2010) |
"
Delicious, welcome, and entirely satisfying and, as an added bonus, far and away the best genre-fan date movie of the year."

Mafioso (1964) |
"
The sort of masterpiece that will obliterate memories of lesser, later efforts in the 'meeting the parents' comedy lineage. Brilliant."

Inside Man (2006) |

Lee has created a truly original film from various shopworn genre cliché, chief among them, the New York City bank heist/hostage standoff gone awry."

M (1931) |
"
Arguably Fritz Lang's greatest cinematic achievement, this unnerving tale of deranged child-killer Hans Beckert (Lorre) stalking the dingy alleys and shadowy playscapes of Berlin is as riveting a piece of filmmaking as you're ever likely to see."

Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
"
It's a short, sharp, shock to the cinematic system that's virtually impossible to dislike, and if you don't leave the theatre grinning your face off, then, buddy, movies just aren't for you."

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) |

Those of us who were old enough to catch the film as kids the first time around may even find an unexpected lump in their throats as the nostalgia gates bust wide open and Vader gets his, once again, on that giant, silver screen."

Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime) (1999) |
"
Calling this film a 'kid's film,' however, completely misses the point. It is instead a film for the young at heart and those who still appreciate honor, valor, love, and the earth."

The Sixth Sense works best when it works its mournful magic alone, without fanfare, using only the flickering fear in Cole's gaze as it meets the compassion in Crowe's."
