Fracture (2007)

 

A feature film length episode of CSI or The Practice. A good episode.

Rating: C+

In The Valley Of Elah (2007)

A compelling story told very well. Tommy Lee just gets better with age. Prepare to have your opinions challenged. 

 Rating: C+

The Big Sick (2017)

Actor comedian Kumail Nanjiani turns his real life story into a heartwarming film. It was honest and funny. Definite comparisons to Aziz Ansari’s show Master Of None. That’s not a bad thing.

Rating: B

Ruby Sparks (2012)

Somewhere between Weird Science and Stranger Than Fiction lies Ruby Sparks. The movie is playful, but with a dark edge. I liked the outside-the-box thinking that went into the script. Zoe Kazan was incredible in her role. Possibly Oscar worthy. If you enjoy literature, the writing process, and quirky romantic comedies, you’ll love Ruby Sparks.

Rating: B

Meek’s Cutoff (2010)

Incredibly slow moving. Like watching prairie grass grow. Wagons roll through the same Utah landscape for days. People rarely talk. An Indian shows up. Credits roll. How did this thing get funded? If you can make it through the entire film without fast forwarding, having an energy drink, or falling asleep, you deserve a medal.
