A Single Man (2009)
Despite the overt moral and period setting, this is a film that feels entirely personal.
Chloe (2009)
There should be something refreshing about a movie like Chloe, that makes the effort to shunt the male lead aside and focus on the women characters instead, especially when it takes the extra step and incorporates lesbian themes. This isn’t something we often see in films with stars as big as Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore. The trouble with Chloe, though, is that the nature of its plot completely subverts any feminist efforts it might have been seeking to achieve.
The Big Lebowski (1998)
I was certainly entertained, but overall I felt like this one wasn’t quite as cohesive as some of the Coen Brothers other favorites.
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)
A good film that fails at being truly great.
