My Netflix list swelled by about fifty movies after watching it; I really liked it, but sometimes he doesn’t do the best job of explaining why a given film clip illustrates the point he’s trying …
Wow. It’s not a movie, exactly; it’s more of a video installation of a passion play. Gibson really likes him some slo-mo, and the gore does cross the line into absurdity at times (more than …

I’d expected more; it’s not really 100 minutes’ worth of movie. Grant and Bergman both look lovely (and had a few of the hottest kisses I’ve seen on film), but I think it’s a little …
