One Hour Photo Blu-ray Review
Posted May 9th, 2013 by Brandon A. DuHamel
Robin Williams is strong in this dramatic role, but this 2003 yuppie thriller is far from chilling.

Trance (2013) Theatrical Review
Posted April 5th, 2013 by Brandon A. DuHamel
Trance more than lives up to its name, and will have you spellbound by its imagery and acting for the majority of the film. It’s a wild ride indeed.

Hitchcock, a biographical coverage of the filming of the director’s horror masterpiece Psycho, provides less than spine tingling moments in spite of a strong cast and excellent cinematography.

Another Earth is a powerful human drama in the guise of science fiction and it arrives in a solid Blu-ray combo pack release from Fox.
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Blu-ray Review
Posted November 3rd, 2011 by Brandon A. DuHamel
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan may disappoint those familiar with the book and even those looking for a good bit of Asian historical fiction, for me, it was just too dour from beginning to end and obviously intended to pluck at the heartstrings.
The Tree of Life Blu-ray Review
Posted October 19th, 2011 by Brandon A. DuHamel
The Tree of Life is an existential and impressionistic look at the human experience, marvelous in ts visual aesthetic and emotional achievement. It arrives in a barebones Combo Pack that nonetheless offers reference quality audio and video.
