Paolo Sardinas's Reviews

"J.Edgar" is a film that falls victim to its aged director who seems to care more for sentimentality, which panders the audience, rather than upholding the high standards that he has set for himself."

"Finding negative things to say about 50/50 is a challenge in itself; the film is so wonderfully edited, written, and the material performed flawlessly that it makes you wonder why other films of the same genre do not do the same."

"The visual effects are something to be admired, as are the performances, but the lack-luster narrative and underwhelming emotional punches do little to support them."

"Between the beauty and the ugly Malick has created a masterpiece, something that requires and demands multiple viewings. It also dares us to question which, in this day and age, is more than welcomed."

"The way that Vaughn was able to capture the sense of an epic action film without giving way to the typical effects driven spectacles that we've grown accustomed to in recent times is praiseworthy as is his ability to create a spectacular superhero film."

"Snyder fills the screen with various other images that, while being visually spectacular, really serve no purpose in telling the film's chaotic and incoherent storyline."

"Despite the film's routine characters and the terribly predictable plot, "The Fighter" is enjoyable enough thanks to its leading quartet of Oscar worthy performances and director David O' Russell's inventive style."

"Swan's ambiguity is what makes it undoubtedly Aronofsky's most fun picture yet and it's technical ambition is awe inspiring as it represents an artists' mind as it slowly descends into madness. It is a clever film, and definitely one of the year's best."

"The King's Speech is a rousing spectacle, an underdog story, and a finely tuned drama about life and the obstacles and challenges we overcome. Its a terrific film that is made even better by Colin Firth's Oscar worthy performance."

"Hot off his Oscar win for Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle delivers this harrowing piece of survival and determination. The film hits all the marks and it offers some startling imagery and one of the year's best performances from Franco."
