The Corpse Bride – Review

June 23, 2006

The Corpse Bride is not The Nightmare Before Christmas. The visuals are less distinguished, the songs don’t stand out, and the story just kind of chugs along.

April 1, 2000

Johnny Depp is director/co-screenwriter Roman Polanski’s leading man, occupying nearly every scene (if not all of them) in this fable/thriller.

Donnie Brasco – Review

October 1, 1997

It plays like the American Playhouse version of Scorsese – insightful, dramatic, but stripped of oomph.

June 1, 1997

Dead Man – Review

Jim Jarmusch master’s brush strokes: Dry humor, dead landscapes, and twisted storylines that call for deadpan sentiments and stark realizations.
