LeBrainBoy's 420-Character Film Review: Nosferatu →
A magnificent example of German expressionist cinema; so significant its stake in film history that, akin to Birth of a Nation or Battleship Potemkin, the origin of film semiotics is unearthed within Murnau’s iconic frames. This version restored magnificently from source prints painstakingly gathered from the furthest reaches of the globe, w/the original Erdman orchestral score & newly...

Grimm →
Oh, David Greenwalt, what hast thou wrought? Were I Joss Whedon, I would have you hunted down like a wild animal, the skin flensed from your flesh and the bones torn from your hollow corpse.

Grimm has none of the complex...

LeBrainBoy's 420-Character Film Review: Tower... →
Ratner inelegantly manufactures big, loud, stupid movies: his attempt to craft an Ocean’s 11-style Swiss watch fails; this film more Swatch than Tag Heuer. Characters re-appear at moments as convenient as their absurdly shifting allegiances. Nearly all performances are one-note caricatures, including Murphy’s; Stiller tries hard but Alda alone shows even the slightest nuance. Leoni...
