It’s impossible to describe There Will Be Blood in one word but if forced to, I would say powerful. If I had to further describe in using just single words they would be; politics, greed, religion and morality. It’s a true instant American classic film whose technical aspects far exceed that of most other films out there.

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans is an indie intelligent “cop movie” that is really much more. A little worried it was going to be a typical cop movie, I was a little hesitant to watch it, but I was glad I did. Digging deep into both addiction and morality, this thriller will keep you wanting more and it delivers.

Downloading Nancy is an indie thriller that is; completely disturbing, controversial, well shot and captivating film. It was nominated for Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and is definitely one of the better indie thrillers of 2009. It’s a thriller that will have you asking “why” instead of “who”.

If Stanley Kubrick was still alive, this is what he would have made. Shutter Island reminded me of Kubrick’s The Shinning with the creepy feel to this brilliantly written story. It’s also similar with eerie flashbacks and classical music woven throughout. Martin Scorsese plays with the viewers mind the entire film and keeps you on the edge of your seat without a single dull scene. In my mind, that is a rare thing to find in most films.

I nearly didn’t watch this movie because of all the negative reviews people gave this film. It was recommended to me by Netflix, which is not always creditable. Needless to say my expectations were very low, which is probably the best way to go into a movie.
