For the Love of Film...

Welcome to my review website. I love movies, and here’s the place I talk about them. You’ll find my ratings, on a scale of zero to five stars, in all of my posts. For each film, I’ve written either a full critique, which is a longer piece; a compact review, which is usually just a paragraph; or a quick take, which is only a sentence or two. I also post articles about the world of cinema on my film blog.

In the Comments section on each page, feel free to share your own thoughts and feelings about the films discussed here.

Lights! Camera! Action!

Compact Movie Reviews

Based on a Stephen King novella and more or less a creditable exercise in storytelling, this film follows the unhappy lives of a farmer, his wife, and their teenaged son, set in the title year. The wife’s inheritance of a hundred nearby acres sets up a conflict within the family, played with understated and effective tension. Best viewed as a psychological piece rather than as horror.
