Movie Review

The makers of the Hangover movies have titled their new movie 21 & Over, supposedly because it is about the loss of innocence and gain in adulthood bestowed by one's 21st birthday.

What with all the recent gabble about Academy Awards and all, it may seem a little trivial to talk about a little movie like Snitch.

Amour is a masterpiece of super-realistic movie making that I can all but promise you will not soon forget, or ever want to see again.

Among more important things, Side Effects is a first-rate mystery of the classic school in which all the clues are out in sight and the solution links everything together into a single coherent story. The story is usually not particularly credible, because crime is more banal than the mystery story form likes to suggest; but it does fit together into a logical pattern with no loose ends. This is a very rare situation these days, on film, and congratulations for it.
