 "Let me start out by saying that the cinematography and acting in this movie are very well done. It also has moments of humor, which were a nice touch in such a dark, dystopian movie. As a depiction of what an apocalyptic earth would look like, it's about as good as it gets. That's why it gets 2 stars instead of 1. That's it. Those are about the only good things that I can say about Children of Men. As for the bad, read on, but if you haven't seen it yet, be warned that there are spoilers ahead. Children of Men unmistakably sets the tone for its liberal propagandizing from the get-go. In one of the opening scenes the camera pans across old newspaper clippings pinned to the wall in the home of a hippie/activist named Jasper, played by Michael Caine. Featured prominently amongst these clippings is a newspaper article with the big, bold headline "STOP THE WAR IN IRAQ." Keep in mind that this movie takes place 20 years in the future. Now, I don't know about ... " [More]
Pan's Labyrinth
Pan's Labyrinth
Incredible

 "This movie was incredible. I like stories about the power of storytelling and the ability of imagination to take you to a different world (see, e.g. The Life of Pi), and Pan's Labyrinth brilliantly does this. The best part is that it only works, as it does here, when the storytelling is incredibly good. Not only that, but the cinematography and music in Pan's Labyrinth are equally memorable. My only regret is that more time wasn't spent on the fairytale aspect of the story, but it's a minor quibble. Go see this movie. " [More]

Borat
Funniest Movie of All Time

 "Since I was fortunate enough to catch a (free) sneak peak of Borat via the University of Michigan, and it changed my life so dramatically, I had to write something for anybody wondering if it will live up to the hype.Quite simply, it is the funniest movie of all time. Straight up. I have no doubts, questions, or reservations about saying that. I've never laughed so hard for so long in a movie. And not just chuckling laughter, I'm talking all-out slapping my knee, can hardly catch my breath, clapping uncontrollably, and shouting at the screen funny. I am already counting the hours until its wide release and another opportunity to see it again. As HBO's Rome did for TV drama, this movie has quite literally redefined what it means to be a comedy. None of that romantic-comedy in sheep's clothing of Wedding Crashers or Anchorman (which are both, in my opinion, hilarious movies) garbage. THIS is what comedy is meant to be. It blows anything the supposed leaders of comedy (i.e. W ... " [More]
