See This Movie (2004)

Posted on July 7, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R If you want to see a semi good film about making an amateur film, this would be it. It stars SNL alum Seth Meyers. Seth plays a guy who just graduated from a three-day film course. He then … Continue reading →

The Zodiac (2006)

Posted on June 28, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film came out a year before “The Zodiac” starring Jake Gyllenhaal had. This one stars Justin Chambers. I will say this, I enjoyed this movie more than Jake Gyllenhaal’s. Chambers’ film wasn’t as gritty or as dark as Gyllenhaal’s. There was a scene or … Continue reading →

Waterborne (2005)

Posted on June 25, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R Terrorists have infected the LA water supplies, we watch three stories intertwine together. As the days go by without water these stories unravel. It’s a good storyline but choppily put together. You began to wonder where the director is taking you, as … Continue reading →

Tell Tale (2008)

Posted on June 24, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is based on the short story by Edgar Allen Poe and when I say based I mean loosely.  The short story is one of my favorites. Does this film hold up? It definitely has a different … Continue reading →

Shutter Island (2010)

Posted on June 16, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film unfolds exactly how I expected.  There are no surprises, no twists, and no turns. If you are looking for a good thriller, this isn’t it. There’s a surprise for you, that Martin Scorsese couldn’t make a … Continue reading →

Wendy and Lucy (2008)

Posted on June 11, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R I don’t usually cry at movies but I made the mistake of watching this film alone. The director, Kelly Reichardt, values the relationship between a human and a dog. We watch as Wendy drives cross-country to a new job … Continue reading →

The Road (2009)

Posted on June 1, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R The film starts by following a father and son on a journey to the coast in a post-apocalyptic world. This movie is very sluggish and doesn’t explain the events very effectively. I’m not one that needs to be knocked over the head … Continue reading →

Dancer in the Dark (2000)

Posted on May 29, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is visually stunning.  Nearly blind Selma lives in a mental world of fantastical song and dance. The colors of this mental world are brilliantly vibrant. The film seamlessly flows though the song and dance to tell a poignant story … Continue reading →

The Stoning of Soraya M (2008)

Posted on May 18, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R I watched this film a few months ago and it left me reeling for days afterward.  It’s based on the true story of Soraya, who in 1986 was falsely accused by her husband of adultery.  Her husband wanted a … Continue reading →

Tooth and Nail (2007)

Posted on May 16, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This is an interesting film. It’s a typical horror film, now I’m not a fan of horror films but this one is different. Is it a good film? Um, I wouldn’t say so. Would I watch it again? … Continue reading →
