Drive-Thru Reviews

Red Dragon - Well-acted, well-executed and pretty close to the book, but for some reason I still prefer 1986's Manhunter over this one. Maybe because I saw Manhunter first, and years ago, before I was tainted and desensitized by the serial-killer soaked media. Who knows. I definitely did not enjoy the extremely cheesy reference to Clarice Starling at the end.

Road to Perdition - A classic, operatic western disguised as a gangster movie. Every frame is a work of art.

8 Mile - I have managed to stay Eminem-free all these years - couldn't tell you a single song of his, names of CDs, nuthin. So I watched this film without any baggage or expectations. And what did I come out of it with? Eh. It was okay.
