I was disappointed with this film after all of the hype that I heard about it and having listened to friends gushing over the flick. There’s no doubt that Waltz deserves the nomination for best supporting actor but I don’t agree with the best picture consideration. It was fun but too often, boring, exaggerated and [...]

Man On A Wire (available to stream)
Grade: B+
I kept hearing how good this film was and really thought “what the fuck could be so interesting about a crazy fuck who sneaked into the World Trade Center to tightrope across the two towers?” The answer is nothing. What is interesting is how this man was able [...]

Death Wish
Grade: C
I enjoyed this movie for about an hour and that it just got crazy. I appreciate the “gun ownership” message and I certainly have no problem with vigilante justice but I would have been a lot more satisfied if Bronson would have popped one into the fuck faces who merked his wife and [...]

Who’s That Knocking On My Door?
Grade: C-
If this film was made by anyone other than Martin Scorcese I would’ve given it a D. There are a few memorable scenes with Keitel, the best being he meets the girl and they have a discussion about John Wayne. Other than that I found Scorcese’s first film to [...]

The Orphan
Grade C
This was an average film. There are some shocking moments and a nice twist at the end but it seems like movies such as this one and The Good Son are trying to become a modern version of The Bad Seed. I feel as if some of the shocking moments are there just [...]

(These reviews will now include films from my personal DVD library that I’ve either recently purchased or watched, as it’s not aways possible to only comment on movies that I’ve received via Netflix. I don’t always have the time but plan on highlighting rented films more often than not)
Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer

La Bamba
Grade: B
This film is a really good film filled with memorable moments and dialogue (Eat it, Eat it!) Unfortunately I feel that Lou Diamond Phillips, playing Ritchie Valens, has the show stolen by his brother Bob, played brilliantly by Easi Morales and the ending is tragic. Watch for Joe Pantoliano (of The Goonies and [...]

So I’ve decided to hopefully add the last regular feature to this blog which will be “Nextflix/Flick Of The Bi-week” I expect to appear every other Sunday but just so everyone knows it will probably appear more sporadically than other features simply because I have a pretty important day job in the NYC corporate world that [...]
