First thing I must say is that Matthew McConaughey has become one hell of an actor… From ‘Killer Joe’ to ‘Paper Boy’ followed by ‘Mud’ and now ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ he gives nothing less than stellar performances. ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ is based on true events and is the story of one man’s determination to survive […]

Some films are works of art…that you’ll remember for years…Films you’ll want to watch over and over again…’Escape Plan’, directed by Mikael Hafstrom, is not one of them… However, it is very entertaining, in a predictable sort of way.

From the moment ‘Prisoners’, directed by Denis Villeneuve (‘Incendies’) began, I knew I was about to see a film that was really, really good. And I was not disappointed. In fact, by the time the end-credits rolled, I was actually feeling ‘creeped-out (in a good way, if that’s possible) and that feeling stayed with me […]

‘Rush’ directed by two time Academy Award winner Ron Howard (‘A Beautiful Mind’, ‘Frost/Nixon’) is supposedly, based on a true story. I say, supposedly because, like many ‘true stories’, there’s a great deal of ‘not so true’ stuff thrown into the mix. ‘Rush’ written by Peter Morgan (‘Frost/Nixon) depicts the intense rivalry between two Formula […]
