• Not Lost in it's Identity
  What is it that makes a movie great? Do we judge by how much our eyes can be entertained or how much our brain can think? Should a movie be scaled on how much blood, boobs and Ka-Booms can fit in 100 min, or how much we can think, ponder, or symbolism.

But, if you are basically on your own, for a stretch of time, it can... more info

• LONELY DAYS, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
  Bill Murray gives perhaps his most understated, and sensitive performance to date in this near-perfect gem of a movie, and Scarlett Johansson showed a poise way beyond her age at the time this pic was made. The chemistry between the two leads is wonderful, and Sofia Coppola's deft direction of her screenplay is equally dynamic. She ( Coppola ) gives a fresh twist to what might have been just another forgettable, May-December romance, and weaves it into a searingly funny, extremely moving, and pretty damn... more info
