Jack Hudson

I thoroughly enjoyed the vast majority of this film, only to be completely insulted by the inane ending. What on Earth were they thinking? Another excellent, well-executed premise utterly destroyed by an incessant need to subvert expectations.

It turns out that Spielberg is washed. I must confess that I disliked almost everything about this film. The writing was awful and got worse as the film went on, with many lines and plot points making little sense to me. Each character seemed to be defined entirely by their place on a scale from…

I’m happy to be living in the current resurgence of horror films largely because of projects like this one. I’m incredibly impressed with the new director, and I look forward to seeing what he does in the future. I think there’s a fairly large inherent risk when giving a new artist free reign to adapt…

One of the best films I’ve been introduced to in quite some time. The visuals, story, and acting are all superb, and I cannot believe it took me this long to watch the film. Though perhaps slow for some modern audiences, I would recommend this film highly to anyone interested in epic, historical tales.

A great movie all-around, this is my favorite Jack Black performance. When I was in high school, I attended a summer program at Yale University, and one night we projected this film onto the side of a building.

An iconic film, I found the characters much more memorable than the plot. That said, Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving both give excellent performances.

Though the acting performances and visuals were well-executed, this is an unnecessary film which detracts from the Harry Potter franchise in the hopes of milking more money from it a few years after the main series well dried up with the release of Deathly Hallow — Part 2. That being said, if one were forced…

Though I maintain that the Daniel Craig Bond films have been a step in the wrong direction for the franchise, Skyfall was the last Bond film I really enjoyed. The title song is excellent and some scenes stand out, but I would choose to watch more classic Bond over this film.

This film was very enjoyable in the theater with my mother as a child, but I don’t think that it has withstood the tests of time. I think this movie has a great message, a memorable (in fact, viral) soundtrack, good acting, and a simple, relatable story, but it doesn’t seem to exist much in…

Though I’m not always a fan of Studio Ghibli films, Kiki’s Delivery Service is certainly my favorite. In typical fashion for Miyazaki, it provides a delightful world that I would certainly be happy to exist in for as long as the film allowed. In contrast to other films from this studio, I found the plot…
