Papa: Hemingway in Cuba

This was a good story that could have been great. The acting was very solid - Ribisi is as marvelous as ever. The direction was also solid and compelling. The problem was that I felt the script lacked depth in both story and character. I wanted more roundness to the people I was invested in and more insight into their motivations. I feel like many things may have gotten lost on a cutting room floor that would have made this picture much stronger. Still, a good film that tells a true tale. 3/5

Maggie

This is a new twist on zombie films for me that raised a lot of interesting questions. Well acted by Arnie & Breslin. 4/5

Endless Love

This upbeat film destroys the dark & sinister tone of the original - the two have nothing in common. And why in hell did this film never use the song "Endless Love"? The original is still vivid in my mind - this is not that. Shame. 2.5/5
