Blu-ray Review: Julia Roberts Stars in Inconsistent ‘Mirror Mirror’
Submitted by BrianTT on July 10, 2012 - 9:13pmCHICAGO – “Mirror Mirror” reimagines the tale of Snow White as one of dictatorial corruption and the little David taking down the big Goliath. It’s an interesting way to interpret the material and made more so by Tarsem Singh’s incredibly strong visual eye. Small problem — while he’s a visual master, he’s not a strong storyteller and “Mirror Mirror” needed a more capable narrative thread.

Blu-ray Review: Leonardo DiCaprio Shines in Clint Eastwood’s ‘J. Edgar’
Submitted by mattmovieman on February 29, 2012 - 9:47amCHICAGO – With all due respect to Damián Bichir, George Clooney, Jean Dujardin, Gary Oldman and Brad Pitt, I believe that the three best lead performances by an actor in 2011 were entirely overlooked by the Academy. None of the five Oscar nominees quite managed to top Michael Shannon in “Take Shelter,” Michael Fassbender in “Shame” or Leonardo DiCaprio in “J. Edgar.”
Film Review: Leonardo DiCaprio Embodies the G-Man in ‘J. Edgar’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on November 9, 2011 - 11:07amCHICAGO – Much of history is determined by the petty quirks and strange psychosis of “great leaders.” J.
