The Burning Plain Movie Review
Sex and fire unite in The Burning Plain , a 2009 drama by writer/director Guillermo Arriaga. Though it received little promotion during its release period, the Charlize Theron-starring film is a surprisingly engaging little film. The Burning Plain isn’t amazing, but it is worth seeing.

City Island Movie Review
City Island is a surprisingly funny and charming dramedy from filmmaker Raymond De Felitta. Not having seen any of De Felitta’s earlier films, based on the trailer, I expected City Island to be average at best, chocked full of quirky characters and good ideas, but suffering from mediocre execution. However, I was happily proven wrong as the strength of the performances, particularly from Andy Garcia …

The Funniest Movies of 2009
Comedy, typically, is my least favorite genre, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good, funny movie. The problem in 2009 was that there just weren’t very many funny movies. The Hangover was great, but the funniest movie of the year? Yes, in 2009. In other years… maybe not. And dramedies like Away We Go , while extremely funny, isn’t…
