  • Then She Found Me - Review

    Was this review helpful? [Be the first to tell us!]
    Under discussion:

    A simply crafted film, Then She Found Me is teeming with adept actors doing their damnedest to emote the fractured, yet heartfelt story. Helen Hunt captivates as April Epner, a woman stunted by her own insecurities and the tragic happenings that befall her, but drowns in the less than coherent jumble of the films execution. Struggling to connect with her newly discovered birth mother (Bette Midler), an estranged husband (Matthew Broderick), and a new beau (Colin Firth), April runs the gamut of emotions on a journey of self-discovery that each person must take. Ultimately, Then She Found Me has a blithe disregard for the audience it attempts to entrance and leads them on a befuddled, and possibly tear soaked viewing experience.


  • The Midnight Meat Train - Review

    1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. [What do you think?]
    Under discussion:

    Despite the above average direction and cinematography, The Midnight Meat Train unfortunately breaks down before reaching the platform. When Leon (Bradley Cooper) begins obsessively looking for dangerous situations to photograph for an upcoming art exhibit, he stumbles upon a peculiar man (Vinnie Jones) that may or may not be tied to a series of gruesome murders occurring in the wee hours of the morning on the subway. Brutally rebuffing his girlfriend (Leslie Bibb) and friend (Roger Bart), Leon's twisted fascination with uncovering the truth behind the mysterious man leads to a horrific, yet haphazardly constructed and anticlimactic end.


  • Graduation Week (The Sterling Chase) - Review

    PCU  (1993)

    Lacking the emotional heft of a mediocre after-school special, Graduation Week (The Sterling Chase) is pathetically predictable in its dissection of graduating seniors from a prestigious East Coast university in the late '90's. The dimwitted offspring of PCU and Kicking and Screaming without the slightest hint of comedy or insightful witticisms.


  • Beautiful Ohio - Review

    Beautiful Ohio  (2006)

    Interesting adaptation of the novel Batorsag & Szerelem - Chad Lowe and Hilary Swank's attempt at capturing the shifting mores in Middle America in the 1970's. Infused with a solid ensemble cast, Beautiful Ohio is a simple drama following a family of intellectuals marveling in the genius of their eldest son and neglecting their youngest offspring that is painfully average. Speaking with his friends in a mysterious language and rebuffing his parents, Clive is an enigma that William is desperate to decipher in order to gain a favorable position in the eyes of his parents that are equally perplexed by him. Sadly, the film falters at its abrupt climax and unexpectedly ends without an appropriate conclusion to the affecting drama that was steadily built over the course of the film.
