It is hard for me to find fault with this film, with everything coming together quite perfectly. The pacing never feels stale, even when the jokes require the film to move slower, and every joke hits the mark brilliantly

Honey (Miele) - Italian Film Festival
Honey tells an imaginatively provocative and compelling story that cleverly subverts traditional plot conventions - at least, for the majority of its run time. In the hands of a lesser director, the film could run the risk of descending into tear-jerking melodrama due to its sensitive subject matter, but Golino’s meticulous, detached direction prevents the film from going there.
Film Review: Mud
I’m a sucker for movies set in small towns. Bonus point if said small town is on the fringes of rural Southern US. Double points for southern twang. Triple points if Matthew McConaughey delivers said southern twang. Twenty points for the writer/director being Jeff Nichols. How many points does that add up to? I don’t know, you do the math. This is a film review for god’s sake, not some mid-term calculus paper.
Film Review: The Conjuring
The Conjuring is the latest horror film from Melbourne-born and educated film-maker James Wan. Wan began his career in cinema with his budget horror film Saw (2004) which lead to the creation of one of the most financially successful horror franchises of all time.

Film Review: The Great Gatsby (No Prior Reading)
From someone who has not read F. Scott Fitzgerald's Novel. The film is almost always on the verge of orgasmic explosions such as the ones we find in the introduction to the Moulin Rouge in his earlier film, however, Gatsby seems to have more control over itself.
Film Review: The Place Beyond The Pines
Unflinchingly dark and unapologetically ambitious, The Place Beyond The Pines is a compelling and masterfully-directed ensemble film disguised as a ‘Ryan Gosling-being-badass’ vehicle.
Film Review: Trance
...this is really just the outer layer that exists to satisfy the thriller elements of the film; the macguffin, if you will...
Film Review: Django Unchained
Balancing the delivery of a truly enthralling and entertaining film, whilst not ignoring the important subject matter and the questions it evokes, Django Unchained is a film that succeeds in both providing film-goers a fun ride, but also portrays the subject of slavery in a way that we have never really seen. The overall result is both respectful and thought-provoking.
