I’m passionate about storytelling, which means I tend to critique scripts sharply, especially given how much I’ve seen over the years.

Does the craft become less gratifying because we indulge in it so often? Maybe. My sensibilities have certainly dulled over time, and it's harder not to compare new releases to old entries we hold dear. Even more elusive is the thrill of seeing something done brilliantly for the first time. Still, I try to keep an open mind, but reviewing based on my enjoyment first and their intention second. No film gets a perfect 10, much less a 0. Perfection is unreachable, and by that same logic, no effort should be dismissed. There’s always a little something worth appreciating.. finding nuggets of gold in unexpected places! A intriguing camera trick, the chemistry between two actors, a magical moment that exceeds expectations or the rare film that completely blows you away. I never forget I haven’t seen it all yet.

Feel free to reach out :D

  • "How about it, Eve? Can he skate around your block?"

    In 1962, a married couple (that's expecting) gets trapped in a fallout shelter by mistake, thinking that an atomic bomb hit the US. Their naive, innocent and traditionally-educated son emerges 35 years to check the state of the world.

    Colorful backstories, creative script and entertaining developments, memorable lines, charming performances, and a very interesting and fresh premise as the core building block. This is probably at the top of my list of favorite movies.. there's just nothing like it! And I can't get tired of it, being a treat whenever I rewatch it.

    I understand this is a very personal opinion, but it is hard not to give it at least some credit.

  • "What.. do you want?"

    A movie that requires no summary or introduction.. as it is a very well written, adapted, regarded and known story about a romance from its conception to completion.

    With beautiful shots, great performances, good chemistry, pacing and structure, and developments.. it is quite a memorable film with a very satisfying revelation and conclusion.

  • "We can't seem to figure out what the puzzle is supposed to look like"

    This film is a very well done, educational and entertaining investigative work to undercover the truth about the "Watergate" political scandal of the early 1970s that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

    Personally, I'm just not very interested in the topic of North American politics. I'm just a Redford fan! And while I can see its merits and great execution, the script wasn't particularly memorable in any of its sequences. Though, I would still easily recommend it as a brilliant film where the story is more important than the performances or the execution.
