Panic Room

Panic Room; Epitome of a contained thriller, expertly crafted to squeeze every ounce of tension from a cats and mice culmination of conundrums. Each actor is excellent in their part, and Fincher sets the stage exquisitely so that each piece fits perfectly towards the final outcome. A masterpiece; A+

Love Lies Bleeding

Love Lies Bleeding; Time capsule of an 80s noir that feels like it was truly shot in that era and not just recreated. Leads play to the slummy lows the script provides with brave confidence. Raw, sexy, violent and sad with a bit of the bizarre to boot; B

Into the Wild

Into the Wild; A little too in love with itself, but a beautiful film regardless. Excellent cast explores living off the grid with romanticized results. Relationships shine along with the scenery and soothing soundtrack. Intriguing but answers less questions than it brings up; B+

Charlie's Angels

Charlie’s Angels; Trio of talented actors make a fun, fight fueled action flick that shines on account of their personalities. Without the franchise baggage, this combination of script, style, actors and action could create its own franchise. Loved every minute of it; B+

Snow White & the Huntsman

Snow White & the Huntsman; Epic tale overreaches its 2 hours yet delivers high production value. Keeps a tone that pays off in long run; A-
