• The Best Movies of 2022 (and the Five Worst)

  By Christian DiMartino One thing I like about doing a year in review thingy is that it serves as a document of where my taste was at this point in time. I won’t lie though: often times I place a movie in my top spot, and some time down the road, my opinion changes. Not…

• Review: The Son

  By Christian DiMartino Sheesh. Florian Zeller’s The Father was not only the best movie of 2020, but it’s among my favorites of the decade so far. The film, an upsetting and dizzying, yet moving depiction of dementia, earned Anthony Hopkins an Oscar, as well as Zeller and his co-writer Christopher Hampton for Adapted Screenplay. Zeller…

• The Best Christian Bale Performances

  

  By Christian DiMartino Sometimes, I honestly, truly believe that Academy Award winner Christian Bale might be our best actor. Daniel Day Lewis, for similar reasons, is on that list, and of course Leonardo DiCaprio is right there with them. Those two might be the best, and their cinematic track records might be more impressive, but…

• Review: Reminiscence

  

  Hugh Jackman stars in the new science fiction mystery Reminiscence. Well, “new” might not be the right word. Anyways, the film goes a little like this: Before performing Inception, Jackman files a Minority Report in Chinatown. He begins experiencing some Strange Days though after a Blade Runner enters The Matrix, and he soon finds himself…

• Review: X-Men: Apocalypse

  By Christian DiMartino Alright I’m gonna be up front: it takes a lot for me to not enjoy an X-Men movie. I won’t deny that throughout its 16 year run, it’s been a tad uneven, what with trying to keep up with each other and what not. But yet I always feel like they put…

• Film Confessions: Les Miserables (2012)

  By Christian DiMartino Since the Oscars are drawing near, I’m just gonna give it to you straight: They don’t always get it right. Let me just say that just because a movie seems like it should win Oscars, doesn’t mean it actually should. Case in point: Les Miserables. Just last night, I reviewed Sweeney Todd: The Demon…

• Review: Pan

  By Christian DiMartino Believe what you’ve heard: Joe Wright’s Pan is a big-budgeted, joyless, stupid, unnecessary, mess. But hey, at least while it is stinking up the place, it looks good doing it. Kind of like Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls. This is a film that spins its wheels for nearly two hours, and doesn’t build a case…
