The Great Buck Howard is a wonderful film about a young man searching for himself and another desperate to hold on to what he once had.

Film Review: ‘I Love You Man’
I Love You Man is a great experience for men and women alike. It is full of laughs and gags that do not go to the overly extreme or come across as contrived.
Film Review: ‘Duplicity’
The charming smile of Clive Owen (Ray) could not save Duplicity or the star persona of Julia Roberts (Claire). It is quite frankly, a horrible mess.
Film Review: ‘Gigantic’
Great movies transform the bored spectator into an active participant by completely transporting him or her to another world. It could be a fantastical world full of adventure or a bleak reality full of loneliness and despair. Either or, the viewer expects some kind of fulfillment from a film after dedicating two hours of life to sitting in front of a flickering screen. If it’s a comedy, we want to laugh, if it’s a drama, we long for tension and emotion, and even from a documentary based on actuality, we crave insight and the sense that we learned something new. In a way, Gigantic tries to be all of these things, but it fails miserably because it tries too hard to be original, quirky, and to be “real.”
Film Review: ’12 Rounds’
With an exceptionally heavy back story and to large of an attempt at psychological games that do not succeed, 12 Rounds is a lackluster action movie. The ’12 Rounds’ are far from original but do manage to pass the time easily. As a viewer, you may not be bored but being overly engaged is highly unlikely also as the surprises and twists you so desire are never realized.
