In one review I wrote recently I said that some films come along with a big reputation that leave you feeling "yeh, so what". On the flip-side of that coin there are other films which very nearly slipped under the distribution... Read more
John Sayles, never one to avoid a political focus in movies, now brings us "Honeydripper". The movie is set in 1950 Alabama. The Jim Crow laws are still in effect, and black-white relations are limited to African-Americans performing only the most... Read more

It is one of those movies, where the word predictable will be a common part of many reviews, but at the same time the movie was quite delightful. It was reminiscent of a nice fiction book, with some real themes in... Read more
