Under review: ‘Remember Me’ (March 13, 2010)
One of my lengthier pieces of film criticism, my review of “Remember Me” escalated from a standard review of the movie to a discussion about the use of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks onscreen. I wrote the review for ItsJustMovies.com, and it was picked up by a couple of other sites.
Review: ‘Date Night’ (April 18, 2010)
This is my review of the movie “Date Night” that I wrote for my personal blog, Lights, Camera, Action, and for an arts and entertainment writing class. The review uses the movie as a jumping off point for a discussion about the importance of good casting and actors who have the ability to give great performances in mediocre films.
Under review: ‘Children of Invention’ (March 12, 2010)
“Children of Invention” is a quiet, thoughtful drama about immigration, pyramid schemes and the lengths to which parents will go to provide for their children. I wrote the review for ItsJustMovies.com.
Under review: ‘Level Up’ (June 26, 2010)
“Level Up” is an inventive short film from director Greg Koorhan that offers a fresh take on a predictable romantic comedy formula. I wrote the review for ItsJustMovies.com.
