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!

Quick Takes

This tale of a man traveling through time, and in and out of the life of the woman he loves, promises a new take on an old plot device. Unfortunately, while the novel that spawned the film may have succeeded, its progeny does not. An inexpert script provides few surprises and even fewer satisfactions, and the lead actors, Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams, are merely adequate, as is the direction. Skip it.
