Across the Pond | France’s: Le samouraï

Such is the case with director Jean-Pierre Melville and his 1967 hitman masterpiece Le samouraï. Read the rest of this entry »
Oscar Review | How “Precious” life can be
I won’t lie. I wasn’t looking forward to watching “Precious.” The trailer for this film looked like an urban nightmare, and i’m not usually one to shy away from dramatic flicks.

Who is more consistent? Who not only grows with the times, but remains ahead of them? Not Coppola, not De Plama, and surely not Lucas.
