The Lovely Bones
PG-13
a very appropriate title, because it's beautiful but with no substance. some great actors working with a script that's devoid of plot or any character to speak of. shockingly empty, coming from Peter Jackson.

I enjoyed it, frankly, I think all of this Oscar talk is driven by the award winning pedigree of its creators more than its actual execution. solid and enjoyable, and Vera Farmiga just lights up the screen, but, at the end of the day, it just felt topically and emotionally inconsequential.

Apocalypse Now
R
This movie changed my life. And that is not an exaggeration. I never looked at the world the same way again after I saw this film. Beforehand, I was very rigid in my understanding of right, wrong, ethics, and morality. This film was the moment when I suddenly understood that there was something.... MORE. And let's not even get into what a technical masterpiece it is at every single level, amid the chaos of its production.
Vertigo
PG
Hitchcock's masterpiece. Hypnotic, and haunting, and beautiful. I saw this when I was 14, and I've had a crush on Kim Novak ever since.
