Movie Reviews

Cyrus - We underestimated the crowd at the only theater showing this quirky little grin, and ended up front row center. The directors use a lot of handheld, unsteady, very tight close-up shots which exacerbated the discomfort of our seating position. But the movie itself has an underlying edge to go along with fairly broad humor, which kept us guessing right up to and past the final scene.

Solitary Man - Crap. As always, Michael Douglas's character is shallow, vapid, self aggrandizing, wooden, obvious and all around disgusting. How this guy even gets parts is beyond me. Even the lovely - and newly available - Ms Susan Sarandon can't bring life to this joyless dreck of a film.
