  • The Princess Bride 1987

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 29 Apr, 2012

    Special 25th Anniversary screening with Rob Reiner in attendance @USAFilmFest

  • The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye 2012

    ★★½ Watched 27 Apr, 2012

    This is a fascinating story about how Genesis P-Orridge (lead singer of Throbbing Gristle & Psychic TV) and his wife Lady Jaye undergo an experiment in pandrogeny. They attempt to merge their identities through plastic surgery to look alike among other things. This film was tedious to sit through and I didn't feel like I got to know enough about Jaye. This could have been so much better given such unique subject matter.

    This film is a masterpiece; beautiful, inspiring and tragic all rolled into some of the most breathtaking art ever to grace the screen.

  • Dorian Gray 2009

    ★★½ Watched 07 Jan, 2010 1

    The Picture of Dorian Gray is my favorite book. This screen adaptation wasn't up to par. Ben certainly looked the part. As much as I adore Colin Firth, I didn't feel his performance truly captured the abhorred Lord Henry. They left out all of the original class and gender subtext that made Wilde's story so intriguing and they changed the ending! I felt robbed.
