RECOMMENDATION: A good adult thriller. Amongst others, fans of thrillers will like this film, as will those who thought Dark City, Brazil, Total Recall and/or The Matrix had too much action and not enough sex.
CRITIQUE: This is a beautifully shot film about fear, loathing and revenge, with an ending that leaves you guessing. The characters' costumes change as the characters develop, a nice yet subtle visual touch.

Your Awesome
Do you have it?
Keep it safe
Keep it quiet
In a little box
In your pocket
Folded, lovingly, in your wallet

Imposing

Baffling
Cuddly
Astounding
Charismatic without being
Obnoxious
Beautiful yet
Deadly
In the right circumstances
Do you want it?

Boldened, Charlie pulled her close, pressing firmly against her, and their lips met, tentatively at first and then with more eagerness.
"Mmmm..." she murmured, and pulled the covers back over her head. But there was no escaping it; time rolled on whether she was awake or not, and dreams of her...

Ray, viewed on DVD
As always, the review is a review of the film, and so contains spoilers.
Recommendation: A well-acted slice of life.
Critique: Ray is both really well executed and very poorly conceived: it has some brilliant performances, but the script is all over the map, and there is no ending at all. The soundtrack and cinematography are both quite good, and you really come to care about the characters. But the rhythm of the film is jerky and uneven, particularly towards the end. The film plays like a dramatized biography for...

Lost Horizon (viewed on DVD)
IMDb link
Recommendation:
This is a "may-see": you may find the film less jarring than I, most of the ingredients are good, and the story of film's restoration is inspiring.
Critique:
Lost Horizon is an adaptation of a popular novel, starring well-loved stars of the 30s, directed by one of the greats, Frank Capra, and largely shot on location with high production value. It is enjoyable for all of these reasons,
