Rigor Mortis Online

Wowza. Enough said.
Ok but seriously, this film by French auteur Jacques Audiard is a gem and is topping everyone’s lists of greatest crime films ever.  After its debut at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, critics have been jizzing in their trousers over this film and for good reason. Audiard, armed with 12 million euros and …

What a movie! May I repeat, what a movie!!! I have to admit that I was a little skeptical when it came to the idea of former fashion designer Tom Ford directing what many thought was a vanity piece, but I amongst many have been proved wrong to ever doubt.  The film, based on the …

What a “meh” movie…One would think that a movie about Nelson Mandela’s rise to presidency in South Africa would be probably a pretty powerful biopic, but Invictus (also a short poem by the English poet William Ernest Henley 1849–1903) just falls flat on its face.  Based on the book by John Carlin entitled Playing the Enemy: Nelson …

That is a lot of &’s for one title I know. I was taken from Ian Drury’s classic 1977 single released on 7″.  Yes this is another biopic about a dead rock star…Well star in the UK at least for I had never even heard of Ian Drury before watching this film, nor did I …

Lee Daniels sucks. Harsh I know but this movie is most likely a failure because of him.  Daniels is responsible for producing some strong films such as Monster’s Ball, but here on his second run as a director he totally blows it.  Precious is based off of the novel Push by New York poet Sapphire, …

Jason Reitman’s new film Up in the Air has garnered him more rave reviews than even Juno and that was a pretty beloved movie from the Montreal born director.  I have to say that I am not against the main stream critics here, this film is pretty god damn fabulous. Based on the 2001 novel …

Brothers is a remake of a 2004 Danish film (Brodre) by Susanne Bier and I cannot help but think the original is better than the 2009 version by Jim Sheridan (The Boxer, Ger Rich or Die Tryin’) because I just feel as though this film falls short of expectations.  With a cast boasting Jake Gyllenhaal, …

The Road is a film that may polarize audiences the world over.  To some it may appear that this is another bleak Cormac McCarthy adaptation, where evil triumphs good and everything ends as it begins in utter misery and to top it off not much happens throughout the course of the movie besides walking along …

Despite all the scandal surrounding him, Roman Polanski has managed to shoot a new film starring ewan McGregor called Ghost Writer (there is actually another film called Ghost Writer with B actors and a brutal looking trailer on youtube so don’t get them confused). Polanski over the past year had been sent back to the …
