I admired a lot of what Krauss was attempting, and I certainly think his skills as a filmmaker are beyond reproach. But none of that means I also feel his debut The Kill List is essential, and even if this heinous historical event is worthy of exploration the director already did that back in 2013 with his stunning documentary. I can’t help but feel people should just watch that instead.

By the time the attack commenced my pulse was racing to such a degree I was worried I might be having a heart attack. Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty is a triumph. See it at once.

Chasing Mavericks comes amazingly close to being a very good film.

Argo is an immediate Best Picture frontrunner and one of 2012’s best films.

All the President’s Men is the greatest journalism thriller ever made.

I can’t stop shaking.
