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!
Solid film about the brief but successful music career of Ritchie Valens. Lou Diamond Phillips, in his star turn, gives a full portrait of the young rocker. Emotionally moving at times.
