Review: Running with Scissors

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  October 27, 2006 @ 11:59am

There is one word that best describes this movie: whacked. If you had to describe it beyond that word, you would have to say that it has elements of Hotel New Hampshire, The World According to Garp, and practically anything directed by Wes Anderson.

Review: Flags of Our Fathers

Posted by: Tom Milroy  •  October 20, 2006 @ 11:59am

This is not the first war movie Clint Eastwood has been involved with, but it is the best. It is not, however, a movie John Wayne would have starred in.
