9.0 Battlestar Galactica

Just finished watching the Battlestar Galactica miniseries (read: pilot) and season 1. Good fun! I fell in love with episode 5 and did not like 10, other than that it was solid military-centered space sci-fi. I even broke out Descent yesterday in inspiration! Descent 3 still rocks to this day. ...
9.5 Pulse

I just realized, several toe-tapping hours after the end of this movie-trip-around-the-world, that there wasn’t a single spoken word of English in it! It was that good that I didn’t even notice. I want to see this one a hundred times more! Fortunately, I found the web site for the...
9.0 The Darjeeling Limited vs. Drillbit Taylor

[8.5] Devdas

What an epic! Intricately detailed sets and costumes frame this three hour epic tragedy. And of course every Aishwarya movie makes my list. ...
9.5 Jimi Hendrix – Valleys of Neptune

Smokin’ hot blues, so sweet to hear. Wipes all the McMusic you have to slog through these days right off the map (along with practically everything else). True jams. ...
9.0 No Country For Old Men

Bring your expectations of standard Hollywood conventions to this movie and you’ll be left hanging in a big way. I always preach that it’s great to break the rules and veer away from the formulas in movies once in a while (check out this excellent article on “plot...
