The Golden Compass (2007)42%
/
85/100

Posted Dec 31, 2007
 
Romance & Cigarettes (2007)53%
/
67/100
 
"Nichols and Sorkin take the easy way out, promoting the personal tale of the roguish Wilson, rather than establishing a real socio-political context within which something insightful might have emerged" -- Apollo Guide
Posted Dec 30, 2007
 
Charlie Wilson's War (2007)83%
/

The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing (1955)n/a
/
58/100
 
"Little more than a competently acted and shot costume drama, it is neither a film of the ages or for the ages; it is a film that has, however, aged, and poorly." -- Apollo Guide
