Push (2009)
This is a picture I wasn’t jazzed up to see but that turned out alright. Lots of interesting characters, concepts, possibilities etc. There are many cases for the television series turned feature film why not turn this feature film into a television series? I could see this bad boy on a nine o’clock maybe... »
Unleased (2005) & Kiss of The Dragon (2001)
UNLEASHED is nothing short of a kick-ass-movie. Not only is it an extraordinary idea (horrific as it may be) but it is a beautiful narrative that despite it’s violent content is quite beautiful to watch. The cast is sublime: Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, and Bob Hoskins. Another wonderfully written piece by Luc Besson... »

The Wrestler (2008)
Sometimes a movie comes along and is all the hype and turns out to be better than it’s hype. I grew up watching Mickey Rourke in movies and then suddenly he disappeared. A lot of people call this a come back or a resurrection of sorts. I really don’t think it can be... »
