Say what you will, but Christian Bale is a huge draw. Even with his Batman days behind him, his Oscar-winning performance in “The Fighter” is enough proof to say he can get people in a theater … Read More Quick Review: Out Of The Furnace (2013)

For Your Consideration 2013: Out Of The Furnace

Even though Christian Bale is marketing “Out Of The Furnace” more than the other strong Oscar contender he’s apart of “American Hustle”, there could be a few reasons for that including that “Out Of The Furnace” comes out sooner and could probably actually use Bale’s help in pushing it into absolutely any category, which is saying a lot. Jeff Bridges has an Oscar from … Read More For Your Consideration 2013: Out Of The Furnace

Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJULY 22, 2012 Expectations and presumptions can kill a film. I went into “The Dark Knight Rises” with neither. Too many people I know walked into the final Christopher Nolan Batman film expecting it to be better than “The Dark Knight.” In my mind, that just wasn’t possible. “The Dark Knight” is a near-perfect film, and Heath Ledger … Read More Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

THE DARK KNIGHT BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJULY 22, 2012 “This city deserves a better class of criminal.

I mean, even to say that a particular director has enough … Read More Movie Review: The Dark Knight (2008)

Movie Review: Batman Begins (2005)

Movie Review: Rescue Dawn (2007)

Rescue Dawn strikingly comes off like Francis Ford Coppola’s paragon, Apocalypse Now, delving the audience into a world they do not completely understand, nor that the characters understand, as they trod along relentless. Even the dark feel of the film sheers through its big budget bravado. Christian Bale proves why he is the big name that he has become today. Rescue Dawn is completely unlike any of Herzog’s recent films.
