Flashback Five – The Best Kevin Costner Movies You’ve Never Seen
Kevin Costner is an interesting movie star. For a time, he was the biggest name in Hollywood, with mega hits like Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, and Dances With Wolves. And while he might not be as ubiquitous as he was way back then, he’s still churning out some interesting films that deserve a second — or first — look. Need a recommendation? You’re in luck!
‘Eyes Wide Open’ Review For FilmCritic.com
Haim Tabakman’s new film Eyes Wide Open depicts, with seriousness and a slow intensity, the taboo homosexual relationship between an orthodox butcher and a young rabbinical student in a close-knit Jewish community in Jerusalem. But first, a few amazing and timely Brokeback Mountain jokes:
‘Falling Awake’ Review For FilmCritic.com
It was a bold choice of writer/director Agustin to create an entire movie just by using a Final Draft template, but it really pays off in the new drama Falling Awake.
In this template, a young [musician] named [Jay] living on the hard streets of the [Bronx] tries to balance his love for [music] and the cold hard realities of life in the ‘hood. When he falls in love with a beautiful woman named [Alessandra], will he choose his relationship, or be drawn further into a life of [crime]?
‘The Shock Doctrine’ Review For FilmCritic.com
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from every single writing class I took in college, it’s the importance of a good thesis statement. Putting the thrust, the motive, the idea of your piece right up at the top not only serves as a focal point for you, the writer, it also helps the reader understand what point you’re trying to get across in your work, and adequately judge whether you were successful in doing so. Along the way, you’ll also need points to either back up or refute your statement, citing specific examples. All that may seem obvious, but some filmmakers could learn a lot from a couple of remedial non-fiction writing classes.

Flashback Five – Sundance’s Most Memorable Hits
It may be the festival Robert Redford built, but it’s hundreds of other filmmakers who have reaped the rewards of Redford’s annual Sundance Film Festival. The current festival ends this Sunday, and only time will tell which movies break out into mainstream box office hits. Which Sundance success stories have left the biggest mark on American film? Let’s have a look.
‘7 Days’ Review For FilmCritic.com
Fun fact about film: if you take Saw and remake it in québécois, it’s still Saw… Even if it’s released in an art house instead of the local cineplex.
Liberally lifting tropes from the aforementioned torture porn series (and its green/grey color palate), as well as Antichrist, The Lovely Bones, and even Silence of the Lambs, Daniel Grou’s revenge drama doesn’t have an original bone in its body. However, with steady direction, strong central performances, and a script that keeps its dialogue light, it may feel like a million movies stuck in a blender, but at least its palatable.
Flashback Five – The Movies of James Cameron
He’s been the King of the World, collaborated with the Governor of California multiple times, and after a twelve-year hiatus from fictional filmmaking, is about to break his own box office records with the international mega-smash Avatar. But how much do you really know about James Cameron’s filmography? Well, honestly, if his box office receipts are anything to go by: Quite a lot. But we’re guessing there are a few corners of his library you’re not familiar with; and even his well known movies are worth a second glance. Let’s take a look back at the films of James Cameron:
