Movie Review: Revolutionary Road

By Josh_Radde 

There was a lot of talk this year about whether or not The Dark Knight could overtake Titanic atop the list of highest grossing film of all-time.

By Josh_Radde 

Burn After Reading is not the best Coen film, or even the best Coen comedy ever made, but I’d put it up next to any other comedy released this year.

There Will Be Blood

By Josh_Radde 

The title sets up some expectations of what is to come. That being said, there is blood, but there’s also much, much more.

The Savages

By Josh_Radde 

Some may remember that Tamara Jenkins first got acclaim with her last film The Slums of Beverly Hills in 1998. The Savages could not be a more different movie-but they are both fantastic.
