Ryan Gosling
The Believer (2002)
The United States of Leland (2004)
The Notebook (2004)
Half Nelson (2006)
Fracture (2007)
Doesn't hold up to a lick of scrutiny, which is a shame, since it provides such juicy material for a pair of contrasting actors...
Blue Valentine (2010)
A postmodern tragedy of two people at odds who are both right and both wrong in their argument, sharing responsibility for the birth and death of love.
Lars and the Real Girl (2007)
Sweet, sad and funny...an entertaining fable about the phenomenon of socially crippled singles.
Drive (2011)
A stylish genre exercise...one might just as well say the L.A. story unfolds at the corner of Michael Mann and David Lynch.
Gangster Squad (2013)
The sheer bulk of talent involved (top-tier technicians and designers included) turns out to be a case of water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
The Place Beyond the Pines (2013)
The most satisfying cinematic experience we've had at the multiplex thus far this year, and largely through its disinterest in playing along with movie trends.
The Notebook (2014)
Are you a nihilist? Trouble finding a way to bring satisfaction to a Friday night in the void of meaningless suffering that is your universe? Well, do I have the movie for you.
The Big Short (2015)
Elucidate[s] the fiscal rigamarole leading up to the bursting of the housing and credit bubble circa 2008, while also whipping up a palatable froth of cynicism and absurdity.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
A strange and beautiful beast indeed,
Blade Runner 2049
is a science-fiction epic for adults, somehow released in 2017...
Blade Runner 2049
dreams big.
First Man (2018)
By focusing on Armstrong’s human perspective,
First Man
gives us a new window into the costs and benefits of taking 'one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.'
