Across the Universe (2007,  PG-13)
Across the Universe 5.0 Stars
Beautifully inspired! this movie encompasses all the feelings of listening to The Beatles' musical stylings while adding equally striking visuals. it is intelligent, complex, poetic, and psychedelic. also, like a Beatles' song, there were some parts that left me a bit baffled (but mostly in a good way). the cast was wonderful and talented. I don't think the movie has a weak storyline as some suggest, but rather one that depends upon lyrical interpretation, which in some spots requires a little abstract thinking. I would definetly recommend watching this one (preferably trashed ;).

Original and divine! the director draws on many sources (history, fairy tales, mythology, psychology) to create this darkly imaginative and inspired film. it is really a work of pure art.

Epic...my favorite of the three. the best series of movies ever made with quite a lot to say about the essence of humanity. one of the few times the sequels didn't suck.

Moulin Rouge! (2001,  PG-13)
Moulin Rouge! 5.0 Stars
I adore this movie. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor have perfect chemistry in this creative tale with a little of everything; love, humor, tragedy and insanity wrapped up with perfectly utilized remastered hits from the 80's and early 90's. masterfully done and surprisingly moving!

Equilibrium (2002,  R)
Equilibrium 5.0 Stars
A better action film I have never seen! Christian Bale rules in this role (and in pretty much any other I have seen him in). This movie is so bad-ass that I would seriously question the taste of anyone who doesn't think so.

The Illusionist (2006,  PG-13)
The Illusionist 5.0 Stars
Incredible. Edward Norton delivers a flawless performance rivaled only by his past roles in Primal Fear and The Score. Paul Giamatti's portrayal of a conflicted officer torn between the choice of power and his own moral code sets off just the right amount of intrigue. Jessica Biel's character, believable and subdued, delivers an outstanding execution of a dutchess forced to choose between her societal rank and true love. the plot is alluring and well tied and the effects are subtle adding an element of realism. two thumbs way up...definetly a must-see!

AWESOME! Rob Zombie's cutting edge production encompasses everything you wish for when you go to a haunted house (in movie form). top notch horror flick and as for the ending...the best! can't wait for his version of "Halloween".

From the moment I finished watching this movie, I knew I would be forever interested in anything starring Edward Norton. Richard Gere also shines in what is, in my opinion, the best role of his career. simply astonishing...still a favorite!

Rock on! the original Halloween still retains it's original charm, but Rob's twisted version is sick as hell!!!
Rob Zombie is now officially my favorite horror director. he always manages to tie in suspense and terror with the perfect amount of gore and fun (not to mention great casting taste). I have no doubt that his future films will hold up to the standard that I have placed upon him.

I was probably a little too young the first time I saw this, but even then I thought it was awesome! Anthony Hopkins is one brilliant (yet demented) psycho and Jodie Foster is his perfect compliment!

Awesome movie! some of the story-telling and visuals were largely exaggerated and symbolic, but it really helps this film stand out against the typical war movie backdrop. it is an incredible historical tale told in a very artistic way. the graphics were cool, but the depiction of the story itself left me feeling inspired!

Labyrinth 4.5 Stars
I don't even know how many times I've seen this one in my life. this movie has some unusually mature themes for a kid's movie, giving it several dimensions which are appreciated on different levels depending on the age of the viewer. for me, this one is just classic :)
