Circumstance, Psychology Build Tension in The American
(Wednesday, September 01, 2010)
Director Anton Corbijn creates a moody but minimalist atmosphere in The American. The camera is mostly static, music scarcely heard, and shots linger. While thrillers usually depend on opposite tactics to set the tone, Corbijn strips those away—instead allowing circumstance and psychology alone to create confusion and build tension.

Get Low Gets High Marks as Thoughtful Summer Alternative
(Monday, August 16, 2010)
An uplifting story of guilt, repentance and reconciliation, Get Low stands head and shoulders above most 2010 films. It's a low-key work that is profound in its simplicity—an oasis amid meaningless fare that always dominates the multiplex, but never more so than during the summer months.

Journey Leads to Selfish Awakening in Eat Pray Love
(Friday, August 13, 2010)
That we are to be moved by the big-screen version of Elizabeth Gilbert's yearlong journey of self-discovery in Eat Pray Love is absurd. That the memoir on which it's based (and is reverent to) has become a phenomenon is downright disturbing.
