    Steamboat Bill, Jr.

    ★★★½

    It has its moments, but I can understand why this is the film that ended Keaton's career as an independent filmmaker.

    The punches come too slow and often linger for too long.

    Collision

    ★★★

    Collision suffers from all of the same issues as Crash (this film's most direct comparison; the two movies are very similar). Basically, it's a generally passable but deeply flawed script that uses excellent acting and high production values to disguise itself as deep, thought-provoking social commentary while actually being quite simplistic, heavy-handed, and unoriginal in its message.

    It seems more concerned with making emotional appeals and convincing the audience they've received their weekly dose of societal awareness than it is…

    Backflip simulator 1999.

    Napoleon

    ★★★½

    Technically well-crafted, visually stunning, and featuring magnificent battle sequences, though sadly lacking in emotion, theme, or any unique or meaningful insights into its subject matter. It is an ornate frame with no painting contained within it.
