Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
"Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" has moments of fun, whimsy and emotion, but they're too often lost as the Potterverse mythology keeps expanding.

Movie Review: Genius
The film Genius was not genius for me. It contained a wonderful cast and had enormous potential, but fell flat completely. I’m getting drowsy just thinking back on it. However, keep in mind that reviewing film is subjective. I did not enjoy Genius, which by no means infers that someone else might not enjoy it. So, in fairness, let me expound on what you can expect and you can make your own decisio...[Read More]
Movie Review: Dom Hemingway
The tale of Dom Hemingway (Jude Law) is a vibrant, loud, transparent mix of character study and black comedy. Dom Hemingway tells the story of Dom, a convict who has spent twelve years in prison for keeping his mouth closed regarding a job he did for crime boss Mr. Fontaine (Demian Bichir). After he is released from prison (in an opening that resembles a Quentin Tarantino film; full of quick dialo...[Read More]
Movie Review: Side Effects
A suspenseful thriller with political undertones would best describe Steven Soderbergh’s film, Side Effects. The film centers on psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) and his moral and legal dilemma after his patient Emily (Rooney Mara) has a severe and life changing reaction to a new anti-depressant that he prescribed for her. Dr. Banks finds himself in quite a predicament that costs h...[Read More]
Movie Review: Anna Karenina
Even if it were not for Keira Knightley’s odd facial tics and total lack of intensity, Joe Wright’s lavishly-staged adaptation of Tolstoy’s Russian literature cornerstone Anna Karenina would still play like the tragic romance Oprah Winfrey thought she selected for her book club and made an unlikely 21st century bestseller. Gone are the long passages concerning the young, ascetic farmer Levi – Tols...[Read More]
A Ten-Year-Old Film Critic Reviews Rise of the Guardians
Rise of the Guardians is a fantastic movie. It is really good. I love how there are so many magical surprises. Rise of the Guardians is a mixed emotions movie. It made me feel nervous, scared, sad, and happy. The movie starts off with Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Pine) falling through ice into water and then coming out and landing on snowy ground which was a very exciting part. When he fell to the ...[Read More]
Cinema Revisited: The Brave New World of Gattaca
We have always been stargazers. We look into the night sky and wonder what is out there and if future generations will travel to far away worlds. And we wonder what kind of world we will see in our lifetime and what kind of world our children and their children will inhabit. We have romanticized about and expressed our hopes for the future in literature, art, and film. From Fritz Lang’s Metropolis...[Read More]

Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Like most people, I was dubious at first about Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes back in 2009. The idea of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s master sleuth being turned into an action hero seemed like some kind of cultural sacrilege. But when the film came out and received surprisingly positive reviews, I went to see it, and I am glad that I did. Although the filmmakers had pumped up Doyle’s brief mentions of H...[Read More]
