As You Like It (review)
Anyone who thinks that Shakespeare is a chore to be suffered needs to see how fresh and refreshing and sweet and enlightening and simply pleasant his wicked-sharp words can be.
Resurrecting the Champ (review)

Death at a Funeral movie review: die laughing
This is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, and that’s not something I say lightly. It’s practically Shakespearean in its exquisite foolishness and comedic intrigue.

This is why Hollywood mostly sucks: Corporate movies are getting made from scripts written by 13-year-olds who went on to drop out of high school.

A smart, savvy film about the choices and compromises we make in our quests for fulfillment…
