Mary Poppins
(1964)

The entire set was constructed indoors and it shows: the "outdoor" scenes are bathed in a dull gray light

Promised Land
(2012)

Dan Jardine
|
Worth taking seriously, but hamstrung by avoiding larger political issues and coming down to a matter of individual conscience.

Lust, Caution
(2007)
|
Dan Jardine

Lee is hot, engaged, emotional, sincere and fundamentally looking at any slice of life through a sexual lens.

The Little Soldier
(1963)

Godard's followup to Breathless is both lesser and greater than its forefather.

Who is the Godard guy and how could he make something as humdrum yet full-of-itself as Contempt?

Once it gets going (and it almost takes too long to do so), GMK is fast paced and muscular.

Avalon

Levity

Levity is an overproduced Hallmark Channel movie with an A-list cast. The only thing missing is a Christmas tree decorating scene and a speech about the importance of family.

Baadasssss Cinema
