Review: HANNA

            Hanna is one of those movies that remind me why I love the craft of filmmaking. Technically it is flawless, but it also an eerie thriller grounded in reality and filled interesting characters, which you as a viewer care about. It proves that action can be an artful genre and it really makes you wonder why anyone ever considered making G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra. At its heart Hanna is a Hollywood action movie, but it is done with such grit and passion for the craft that you might confuse it for some European Art Film.

Early Review: THE LOVELY BONES

Watching Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones is like dreaming. Sometimes you feel like what is happening is of the most dire importance of your life, and other times you are barely paying attention. Sometimes you begin to space out as the scenes drag on, and other times your leg jerks uncontrollably as your brain experiences psychological panic. And every now and then, you go from idea to idea, scene to scene, and though everything seems disconnected and random, you never really think about it until you have woken up.
