Little Women (1994) 92% 3/4 “Winona Ryder is a small revelation. ” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Apr 11, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 2.5/4 “The acting is so strong, so seductive in The Shawshank Redemption that you almost don't notice this epic prison drama isn't all that good.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 83% “Both stars have their share of dynamic moments, and, gosh knows, there's plenty of explosive action. But it's a long sit, and by the time the excruciatingly drawn-out climax comes to its end, you're more than ready to head for the exits.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% “An authentically scary movie. Like all the great horror films, it's both a unique mood piece and a true shocker that hits you with a psychological impact that none of its three sequels or hundreds of copycats have managed to duplicate.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Selena (1997) 66% 2.5/4 “The PG-rated film is understandably ultra-respectful of Selena, her family and the Mexican-American heritage. But the result of all this respect is a rather bland 온라인카지노추천 movie that might have been sponsored by the Catholic Church.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sep 6, 2023 Full Review La Haine (1995) 96% “Frankly, if you go to the movies very often, you've seen all this before... But what gives the film a different spin is that racism really doesn't seem to be a factor.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% “The script may be barely functional, but the film definitely delivers the goods as a super-version of a '50s-style giant monster movie. ” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Ghetto (2002) 81% B+ “The film is delicately narrated by Martin Landau and directed with sensitivity and skill by Dana Janklowicz-Mann.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 29, 2019 Full Review The Blue Tooth Virgin (2008) 62% “The film is low budget and uneven in spots, but the dialogue is biting, Russell Brown's direction is often razor-sharp and the action climaxes with a virtuoso cameo appearance by the great Karen Black as a wily and wise script consultant.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Watchmen (2009) 65% B+ “Fans of the 1986 graphic novel Watchmen should be pleased with the eye-filling, slavishly faithful, long-time-coming film version that opens today and threatens to become the first true movie event of 2009.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 5, 2009 Full Review Defiance (2008) 58% A- “An absorbing family saga, a thrilling combat movie and a backwoods epic that conveys the feel of a frontier-community-under-duress with the vividness of a John Ford classic.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 16, 2009 Full Review The Wrestler (2008) 99% B+ “It's bleak, credulity straining and often stomach-turning, but it definitely works as a heart-tugging character study, and Rourke's performance as the has-been title character is golden.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 8, 2009 Full Review Revolutionary Road (2008) 67% A- “It is as fascinating as a train wreck, as well as the most sensitive, wryly compassionate, immaculately acted and uncannily real a movie portrait of a dysfunctional marriage as I can remember seeing since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 5, 2009 Full Review The Reader (2008) 63% A- “With its probing script by David Hare, painterly camerawork by Chris Menges and Roger Deakins, confident direction by Stephen Daldry and impeccable supporting performances, every frame of the movie screams filmmaking excellence.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 29, 2008 Full Review Gran Torino (2008) 81% B “An enjoyable movie hybrid that's part politically incorrect comedy, part vigilante action movie and part smiley-face parable of urban American multiculturalism.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 29, 2008 Full Review The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) 72% A- “It has been a while since mainstream Hollywood has come up with a big-budget, big-star vehicle as unique, audacious and rewarding as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 29, 2008 Full Review Valkyrie (2008) 62% A- “Valkyrie is a highly intelligent and deeply engrossing historical drama and, frame for frame, the year's most suspenseful nail-biter.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 29, 2008 Full Review Doubt (2008) 79% B+ “The film's added enigma makes the play's title even more appropriate, but it results in a more ambiguous and perhaps less satisfying dramatic experience.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 19, 2008 Full Review Seven Pounds (2008) 26% B+ “If you're in the market for a quality tearjerker, my advice is to stop reading this review now, avoid the film's revealing trailers and go see it with as blank a slate as possible.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 19, 2008 Full Review Frost/Nixon (2008) 93% B+ “When it comes to modern political docudramas, British writer Peter Morgan is the man with the golden touch.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 12, 2008 Full Review The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) 21% B- “It's a decent enough stab at being what the old movie was to its time, following the same basic plot, full of respectful references to its model, updated with a gallery of fairly imaginative special effects.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Great Speeches from a Dying World (2009) 100% B “This gritty, unflinching documentary by Linas Phillips traces the misfortunes of 10 of Seattle's hard-core homeless over a period of a year.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 4, 2008 Full Review Stranded: I've Come From a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains (2007) 92% B+ “The movie far outdistances the two earlier, partially fictionalized film accounts of the incident and goes against expectations at every turn to be an eerie, unsettling and strangely inspiring survival epic.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 4, 2008 Full Review Milk (2008) 93% A- “It feels authentic in every frame.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Nov 26, 2008 Full Review Australia (2008) 54% B- “Australia offers plenty of fun, and parades more spectacle, sweeping camera movement and gushy sentimental romance than can possibly be absorbed in 2 1/2 hours.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Nov 26, 2008 Full Review
