Jun 14, 2002Urban Psychosis
Possibly the best film made by Martin Scorsese. A disturbing vision of urban psychosis set in a morally festering New York City where the psycho, Robert De Niro’s title character who spills over with pent-up violence, actually becomes the hero of the show

Jul 9, 2012Psychic Debunkers
Strong, well-written film from Buried director Rodrigo Cortes about investigators of psychic frauds encountering a possibly real example. This takes a welcomely sceptical, rationalist perspective, has a great cast and fine build-up but alas falls apart in a lame twist ending

Rating: ★★★★
Dec 28, 2019Comic-Book Super-Villain
This origin story of Batman's The Joker is less epic superheroics than it is a mundanely grounded work about one individual's rage against modern life. Less capes and costumes than something rooted in disturbed psychology and alienation that comes closest to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver
