Mama, could you leave the hall light on tonight? One thing I love to see in a film is definition of character without the need for a windy, Oscar speech or the death of a loved one that prompts an "emotional release." The only genre that gives you that type of character is the Western. The Western is littered with good men with bad hearts and bad men who struggle for a clean conscience. The words of these men carry a heavy emotional burden and clearly define and expose the true nature of the person. Pitch Black is one of the best films I have seen in a very long time, and it carves its roots from the essence of a Western, providing amazing clarity with a direct narrative prose. read the full review | |

The rule of thumb with Star Trek movies continues to be: even-numbered good, odd-numbered bad. The first was a sub-Kubrickian snore. The third and fifth were marred by gratuitous action and sentimentality, respectively. On the other hand, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was an entertaining swashbuckler highlighted by good performances, Kirstie Alley's debut and James Horner's score. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was a cute riff on the 20th century environmental crisis. Paramount eventually noticed the pattern. read the full review | |

Sunshine | | | Starring: Chris Evans Rose Byrne Director: Danny Boyle | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/15/2009 |  | Sunshine - DVD Review By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/3/2008 11:01 PM | | Garland and director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) are nothing if not ambitious. They want us to consider the Big Questions about the importance or inconsequence of mankind as well as the argument of science versus fundamentalism. It is said that there are no atheists in a foxhole. But what about space' If you were to look into the center of the sun, would you see the face of God' read the full review | |
