Sure its long and full of melodrama, but its also full of breathtaking cinematography, love and soul, and all the things movies used to be made of.
Frost/Nixon
A film that once again shows that history will always repeat itself, this character-driven true story brings authenticity and suspense to a page of American history.
Max Payne
Simply giving a guy a sad back-story doesn’t make him an interesting character, especially in a slow action movie where the action is dull and the story stops mattering five minutes in.
Bolt
Sweet and well animated, Bolt isnt treading any new ground, but the path it does take is funny, action-filled, and entertaining.
Tropic Thunder
Despite some issues, Tropic Thunder has moments of hilarity and some truly classic lines and performances.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
It’s a good film – not a great one – and while it deserves its many nominations, there’s an audience disconnect that will keep it from winning anything but technical trophies.
