Positive Movie Reviews ( jamesonlegit )
The Grey, Joe Carnahan
" A surprising film of struggle and what it means to be human. Driven with suspense and heartfelt with raw emotion. "
Take Shelter, Jeff Nichols
" Contender for best film of 2011. Director Nichols' careful pacing brings suspense and paranoia unlike most horror films. Michael Shannon delivers! "
The Machinist, Brad Anderson
" Christian Bale's haunting performance makes this psychological thriller. The biggest flaw is the generic score which lessens the film's tone. "
The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan
" This proves what comic book movies can and should be. Faithful to the character while innovative in the action blockbuster genre. "
Blade Runner, Ridley Scott
" Scott's masterpiece is a blend of sci-fi and film noir. Very philosophical and visually dazzling. Not for the Transformers fan. "
Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn
" A stylish modern film noir with great directing and cinematography. Recommended for those who appreciate film as art. "
Total Recall, Paul Verhoeven
" Over the top, gory, and plenty of Schwarzenegger. Amongst the satire and terrible puns, there is an intriguing sci-fi story. "
Inception, Christopher Nolan
" A perfect example of a summer blockbuster that is smart and well-made. Good directing and all-around solid acting from the cast. "
Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock
" Horror at its absolute finest, with one of the greatest scenes in film history. Suspense that keeps you on edge throughout. "
Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan
" Going more in-depth to the origin than Burton, Nolan explores the mythology of the character with top-notch directing and storytelling. "
The Artist, Michael Hazanavicius
" If you've ever seen a silent film before, you'll see how unoriginal this film is. Still, it's very enjoyable to watch. "
Bronson, Nicholas Winding Refn
" After seeing this, there is absolutely no doubt that Tom Hardy will be excellent as Bane. This performance is unbelievable. "
Brick, Rian Johnson
" This high school detective story is clever and original while also paying homage to the classic film noirs. "
Negative Movie Reviews ( jamesonlegit )
Insidious, James Wan
" Full of cliches, undeveloped characters and plot holes, Insidious is a fine example at how terrible modern horror movies are. "
Happy Thank You More Please, Josh Radnor
" Thin, not to mention unlikeable, characters and "Indie" cliches make this film anything but worthwhile. Tony Hale is the saving grace. "
The Hunger Games, Gary Ross
" It follows the same story as the novel, but removes all emotion and makes the characters as choppy as the camerawork. "
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, Sidney Lumet
" Lumet's directing is great, but the story is not as compelling as it should be. This stems from lack of development. "
Positive Album Reviews ( jamesonlegit )
Undun, The Roots
" One of the most consistent bands in Hip-Hop, The Roots' "undun" is a compelling narrative told backwards. Incredible lyrics. Forget Drake. "
Deep Politics, Grails
" One of the better bands in the post-rock genre, Grails always reinvent themselves and never disappoint. Displays skill and intelligent songwriting. "
The Gaslight Anthem, The '59 Sound
" Combining 1950's style rock n roll with modern punk. This nostalgic soundtrack provides great lyrics and music from a great band. "
American Slang, The Gaslight Anthem
" Deep, honest lyrics and catchy rock/punk/pop songs. NJ's next best thing continues to show lots of promise with each release. "
Drunken Lullabies, Flogging Molly
" Fast paced punk rock combined with Celtic music. 12 songs that are easy to sing to while also providing deep lyrics. "
On The Impossible Past, The Menzingers
" Catchy hooks and honest lyrics make this punk rock album an immediate highlight of 2012. Good introduction to the band too. "
Red Forest, If These Trees Could Talk
" Post-rock/post-metal at its finest with a blend of atmospheric interludes and killer guitar riffs. Anyone who likes instrumental rock should listen. "
The Shins, Port Of Morrow
" There's certainly more of a commercial sound here, but The Shins still know how to make catchy indie pop music. "

The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins

A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess
" Wild, gritty, and addictive are a few words to describe Burgess' classic. It will disturb you while making you think. "
Blackest Night, Geoff Johns
