Somewhere (69/43)
SOMEWHERE (Carlton) – A fascinating study in boredom, without becoming a boring movie. Johnny Marco seems to have everything, but he’s unable to take pleasure in anything. He doesn’t seem to have any...

THE WAY BACK (Carlton) – This is a movie about a long walk. Take LORD OF THE RINGS, minus the Eye of Sauron, minus the homeroticism and the dwarves, and this is pretty close. Actually, I prefer this...

BLUE VALENTINE (Carlton) – Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day, and this movie hase “Valentine” right in the name! Perfect! I’d heard all the stories about how depressing and horrible this film is, but I’m going...

THE COLLAPSED (Carlton) – This is a low budget post-apocalyptic thriller. Not TROMA FILMS low-budget, but a pretty good looking film for the price. With $35000, you can now produce a pretty believable...
