Schindler's List
Schindler's List - RememberWith the Jewish High Holy Days under way, I felt it only appropriate to include a movie that I not only find amazing, but in a way, a birth rite of sorts for the Jewish religion. Move over "Hebrew Hammer," step aside "Fiddler on...

The Raid: Redemption (Matt's Take)
The Raid: Redemption - Overkill The days are pretty much over where you get old-school action movies that say "Screw the story, we don't need a plot, let's just kick people in the face, shoot them in the head, and break necks!" Sure, we have "The Expendables"...

The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 (DJ's Take)
UNFLINCHINGLets face it. Despite Nolan's Batman run, when it comes to bringing their creations to the silver screen, WB/DC Comics sucks. This is a company that owns the rights to ALL of their creations, unlike Marvel....can cross over WHOEVER they...

J. Edgar
J. Edgar: SolidThis movie is fine, and thats it.I would say it's a weak Clint Eastwood film.Leonardo DiCaprio is good, like usual.His make up was good. Clyde Tolson's wasn't. Really got on my nervers every time I saw it.I would like to see...
Simplistic TV: The Wire, Season Four
The Wire, Season Four - Chilling*Spoilers Ahead*Through three seasons of "The Wire" we have gone from the streets, to the docks, and back to the streets so it was only natural that we visited somewhere that we would think would be safe and would give us a break...
