"Let's put a smile on that face"
Some movies with a lot of hype end up not living up to it. This isn't the case with The Dark Knight. It completely delivers and is a great movie. The film takes hold of you from the opening bank heist sequence, and it doesn't let up. If you haven't seen it yet, I ...

"I admire you as a policeman - particularly your adherence to violence as a necessary adjunct to the job. "
Film noir continues to be one of the most difficult genres to make well particularly today (I'd note for purists that film noirs are largely in black & white a fixture of the genre). Film directors can't hide the flaws of a noir behind big explosions, car chases or ...

Near perfect collective look at Planet Earth

Young Frankenstein [Blu-ray]

20th Century Fox, 2008

A worthy occasion to plug a brilliant film.
