    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    9.5 out of 10. A close, very close, to perfect film. The rawness, the drawn out drama, the focus on finality of death- all explored in this film. A vast contrast to other westerns of the time which were polished and 'bright.' The grit and sometimes painful scenery gives us an insight into some scenes of the Civil War era that may not have necessarily been meant for all to see. Leone's usage of the absence of dialogue is second…

    TRON: Legacy

    ★★★★

    What do The Godfather 2, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and TRON Legacy have in common? If you said sequels that are equally as captivating (if not more so) than the originals, then you are correct. The son of a famous video game creator goes on a journey in search of his lost father. What he finds is a entire new cyber-universe, in which he must rely his every day savvy, strength and determination to survive. Take a journey with Flynn into his fathers arcade and new world in this riveting motion picture.

  • Bad Lieutenant

    Bad Lieutenant

    ★★★★½

    Harvey Keitel in his prime. Corruption, drug usage, gambling, and general debauchery paint a picture of a broken man. As villainous as the lieutenant is, he seeks redemption after a divine encounter. As the movie ends, it leaves the viewer wondering- villain or victim. Keitel accomplishes what Nic Cage could never do in the sequel. Highly recommended.

  • The Big Chill

    The Big Chill

    ★★★★★

    A long weekend in the lives of former best friends who have just lost one of their crew to suicide. This feature explores the balance between college ideologies and and the "real-life" issues in the lives of 30 somethings. A star-studded cast and phenomenal sound track make this film a comfortable yet thought provoking motion picture for the ages.
