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!

The Happening (2008)

Quick Takes

This film represents another failure from M. Night Shyamalan, whose writing and directing have never returned to the quality he reached with his 1999 feature, The Sixth Sense. This dopey tale has a good hook, but no decent middle or ending.
