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!

Django Unchained (2012)

Django Unchained (2012)

David R. George III
Quick Takes

Audacious film that blends a revenge flick and a spaghetti western with a Civil War slavery epic. Quentin Tarantino’s fine direction is outshined only by his skillful writing. Wonderful performances populate this unique piece of cinema.
