Paul Thomas Anderson has definitively proven that he is our generation’s “master” of filmmaking, and Phoenix and Hoffman give perhaps the greatest dual-performance ever.

Easily one of the greatest non-fiction character-studies ever rendered to the silver screen, Capote succeeds at every level. Hoffman absolutely slayed this role.

Coppola proved that subtly subversive art film could be commercially successful and Gordon Willis forever altered the cinematography landscape. Incredible accomplishments for an excellent film.

Lumet was a master of the medium; and this film, although not his best, proves that he was a master right up until the end.

A fitting end to Nolan’s masterful Batman trilogy. Replete with political undertones, and more emotionally devastating than I expected, “Rises” proves that good film still exists.

This could have been an excellent film if it weren’t for a mediocre script, mediocre supporting actors, and TERRIBLE MAKEUP. I mean, seriously? Come on…

This is an excellent film that thoughtfully undermines the overtly bigoted attitudes present in 1930’s southern America. I wish Gregory Peck were my father. Chyeah.

A wonderful and unique visual sensibility combined with subdued but moving performances from Murray and Johansson make this Sofia Coppola’s most enjoyable and accomplished film.

8 out of 10

This movie was well made, well acted, and it essentially worked for the most part. However, in the end it just ended up falling flat.

This was a damn fun movie. The ending felt like twenty seconds of forced denouement, but otherwise a good twist on a classic sports story.
