Review(s): 2012, The Informant, Harry Brown

Authority: 494
Brevity is the new black. 2012 I enjoyed this film. It’s far too long, but it has no pretentions about its true nature. There’s no environmental message to chide the audience, so you can just sit back and enjoy the millions of dollars of CGI that makes up a majority of the film. Also John Cusack is cool and ...2 days ago -

I love Clint Eastwood movies. I may not have watched all of them yet, but I’m sure that I will some time soon get the chance to. His selection of screenplays seems very careful and very insightful. His movies usually start off lukewarm without any foretelling of what’s about to ensue. And although some of my ...2 weeks ago -
Review: Harry Brown, the British Gran Torino?

Some critics have already labelled this modern-day fable of Michael Caines elderly avenging angel as the British Gran Torino.
