Stuck (2007)

by Bill Gibron

Brooklyn Rules (2007)

by Cynthia Fuchs

[18.May.07] :. Ah, the nostalgic mob drama. No matter the brutality, the blood, or the sheer fear that shape the memory, movies and TV tend to make life in the mob a growth experience.

Edmond (2005)

by Brian Holcomb

[3.Oct.06] :. An excellent noir, or a tragicomedy, about the repressed beliefs in all of us.

The Musketeer (2001)

by Cynthia Fuchs

Instead of being innovative, 'The Musketeer' is appropriative and (save for the very clever fight scenes), straight-up insipid.

 

Loser (2000)

by Lucas Hilderbrand

Loser (2000)

by Cynthia Fuchs
