Zodiac - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal
Paramount, 2008
Zodiac Revealed
+ GOOD STORY, SLOW MOVIE
+ Very Entertaining
Zodiac (Two-Disc Director's Cut) [HD DVD]
This review refers to HD-DVD 2-disc edition set. Movie is sort of documentary type trying to accurately portray Zodiac killings from late '60s. It is pretty long at 2:42 minutes and somewhat boring. Killings occur within first hour while speculation and ...

Sunshine

20th Century Fox, 2008
Only enjoyable if you're willing to change your expecations
+ Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me begin......
This movie will only appeal to a small audience. It's not what you're looking for if you want to see a good space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights. Granted, it IS a space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights, but it's only run-of-the-mill as far as the ...

No Country for Old Men
Javier Bardem, Rodger Boyce
Miramax, 2008
Another Great From the Coens!!!
+ Well-made but blood-soaked and depressing mood piece from the Coens
+ Violence, violence, evil and violence
I always find the Coen Brothers films remarkably appealing. With "No Country for Old Men" they have again created another enjoyable and well made film which works on many levels. Both scary and funny, it is well acted and explores questions of human morality and mortality without becoming morose. ...
