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!

Martian Child (2007)

Compact Movie Reviews

Martian Child tells the tale of a widower in pretty much a by-the-numbers manner, but with several of the numbers missing. John Cusack is usually reliable, but he has neither a good script nor an able director with which to work here. The adopted son, portrayed convincingly by young Bobby Coleman, is likewise left without much decent material. Not recommended.
