Stardust (2007)

Very inventive and fun once the story got under way. It's quite humorous at times too. Claire Danes is delightful as the star. Great cast altogether. This is one the whole family would enjoy watching together.

In Search Of The Perfect Human Diet (2012)

While some good points are brought up in this documentary on man and the development of our eating habits, I felt they skipped or ignored a lot of concerns that exist in today’s food environment. Going against much of the current trends towards whole foods, they propose eating more meat and animal products. What they fail to address is the system that we use to bring those to market and the quality of those items available to the public. This is a huge failure in my opinion, and just one of many that I saw in the ideas and theories they presented.

Rating: D

Open Range (2003)

Costner put a lot of work into all aspects of the film, and it shows. Acting was excellent. Story was simple, in an "Unforgiven" kind of way, but still gripping. Fantastic shootout. Solid movie.

Rating: B

Paul Williams Still Alive (2011)



An almost too personal documentary about singer, actor, composer Paul Williams of 1970’s fame. There are a lot of awkward moments, but also some special ones.

Rating: C

The Informant! (2009)

Interesting and well made, but ultimately not very fulfilling. The subject matter just wasn't very exciting, no matter how many liberties the screenwriter took with the source material.
