The Island was a bit of a surprise, because I wasn’t really expecting it when it arrived. I’m not complaining, mind you. The Island is a futuristic science fiction film directed by Michael Bay. Yes, that Michael Bay. The guy that directed Bad Boys, Transformers, The Rock, etc. I missed it in theaters upon release. […]
I am very pleased that in a summer film season full of a (surprisingly strong) list of blockbusters being released week after week, I have had time to also see a number of very good films in limited release as well. Films like Midnight in Paris and The Tree of Life have been just as […]
