Black Widow

Black Widow
There is a Bible verse that speaks of being "dead while she liveth." While it is not for pleasure that Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) lives, it might be the best way to describe the eponymous central figure in Black Widow. Because while we watch her back story, set between Captain America [...]

The Bourne Legacy

The Bourne Legacy
The cinematography in this film is amazing. Scenes like the one of a cabin in the woods miles from nowhere with falling snow are well captured, as are the scenes of an airborne plane in a snow storm.

What do you call a movie that goes everywhere and nowhere at the same time? You call it "The Fountain." I must say, I am a science fiction fan but this movie lost me from the very beginning. Interestingly enough, you would think you would get it since every scene is shown 3-5 times due to [...]

The Constant Gardener

The Constant Gardener
This was a disturbing film that portrayed how the helpless in the world can be taken advantage of by those with financial motives. Shot with flash backs, and visual memories, the plot was slightly hard to follow. Much of the film's offensive content could have been removed without changing the [...]
