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!

Luke Korem’s documentary presents Richard Turner, a sixty-two-year-old man considered one of the foremost card mechanics in the world—who also happens to be completely blind. While an enjoyable profile, the film doesn’t explore quite enough of the subject’s past, or even his present, to fully satisfy. Still, Mr. Turner’s exceptional talent is evident, and the doc worth watching.
