by

MAN OF STEEL BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJUNE 14, 2013 Coming from someone who could have given a shit less about Superman as a character, “Man Of Steel” is the best re-envisioning of the iconic superhero, for which you could ask. For starters, having Christopher Nolan’s name on the film as writer and producer sells this hard. With “The Dark Knight” trilogy in his pocket, there’s … Read More Quick Review: Man Of Steel (2013)

SHOTGUN STORIES BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLDECEMBER 24, 2012 Even if Michael Shannon is the only seasoned actor in Jeff Nichols’ “Shotgun Stories,” this subtle drama is stilled pulled off effectively, delivering the actual tone of smalltown, rural life. Based on a feud between two sets of sons fathered by the same alcoholic-turned-Christian man, the violence is made more realistic by its downplayed nature.

JONAH HEX BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJULY 28, 2010 Jonah Hex is not a handsome man. With scars covering his body, a grimace in his jaw, and the strong hint of weathering in his face, the man is anything but ravishing. The same can be said for the film. “Jonah Hex” was not enticing or refined. The film lacked the arc of a plot, the grace … Read More Movie Review: Jonah Hex (2010)
