| The Man From Laramie - Unrated |
James Stewart was one of the best actors in the history of cinema. This film, while having a typical story (a man on a quest to avenge the murder of a family member,) is directed stupendously. Absolutely wonderful western. Full review at: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=478 |

| The Mist - R |
While this film is great fun, it's far too long and drifts out of any kind of logical or fulfilling ending. Full review at: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=481 |

| Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - Unrated |
I think this is an unavoidable movie, like the other Capra classic "It's a Wonderful Life", and I'm glad I finally caved in and took the time to watch it. It's a lot of fun and definitely at the top of my favorite Capra films. Full review at http://cinemaalley.com/?p=454 |

| As Good As It Gets - PG-13 |
Whenever I put this film in, I always think I'm going to like this film more than I do. There are some great performances, but overall it's a little too long and a tad unfocused. Full review at: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=444 |

| Manhattan - R |
Gordon Willis's photography has always been magnificent, but it creates a character of its own in this film. I liked this far more than Annie Hall, but I still have a hard time connecting to Allen's characters. Full Review at: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=447 |

| La Haine (Hate) - R |
This film has a kind of kinetic energy that is incredibly rare. It has been such a long time since I've seen a film that has stayed with me as long and as strong as this one has. Full review: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=437 |

| Eastern Promises - R |
Quality performances and Cronenberg's unique auteur-style directing make this a worthy 2007 release. Full review at http://cinemaalley.com/?p=434 |

| Shadow of a Doubt - PG |
Overall it's a tight well-made thriller, but ultimately feels a little flat (even when not compared to other Hitchcock thrillers.) Full review at http://cinemaalley.com/?p=418 |

| The Lady from Shanghai - Unrated |
Despite Welles's awful Irish accent, and Rita Hayworth keeping her sexy hair in a bun the entire time, this was a pretty decent film. It felt like it lacked some of the energy that The Stranger had, but the ending is unforgettable. Full review at: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=410 |

| Naked Lunch - R |
It wasn’t as taxing as I anticipated, though I still don’t think I’ll care to ever watch it again. I was happy I did once though. Full review at: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=407 |

| Kiss Me Deadly - Unrated |
The only thing keeping this from being one of my absolute favorites is Ralph Meeker's performance as Mike Hammer. He's too tough to allow any charm to shine through and let the audience like him. Otherwise, it's a hugely fun and surprising noir. Full review: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=397 |

| The Stranger - Unrated |
I think anyone that complains that Citizen Kane is an overrated masterpiece should see this film and see why Welles was so damn masterful. Full review: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=390 |

| Charlie Wilson's War - R |
Flat. Great performance by Hoffman, but ultimately flat. Full reviews: http://cinemaalley.com/?p=387 |

| Dan in Real Life - PG-13 |
Not a huge fan of the "Olive Garden" moments the family had, but overall it creates a unique atmosphere that resonated with me long afterward. http://cinemaalley.com/?p=371 |

| Casino - R |
I think this is Scorsese's most stylized film, and the three hours flies by in no time. http://cinemaalley.com/?p=361 |

| The 40 Year Old Virgin - R |
I don't care how many times I've seen this film, it always manages to make me laugh and care about the character(s). http://cinemaalley.com/?p=296 |

| Marty - Unrated |
Of all the sweet and simple movies out there, this has to be one of the sweetest and simplest. http://cinemaalley.com/?p=301 |

| Phantasm - R |
"If this one doesn't scare you, you're already dead!" the tagline reads... If that's true, I must've died, been reincarnated, and died once again. |

| Re-Animator - R | September 14, 2008 | N/A | ||||
| Flash Gordon - PG | With all of the budget spent on costumes and sets and a kickass theme song by QUEEN, the special effects and acting suffer greatly... but in a weird way the lack of acting gives it its finest appeal. | September 11, 2008 | N/A | |||
| C.H.U.D. (Chud) - R | So sue me, I had a great time with this one. | September 11, 2008 | N/A | |||
