Roger Ebert's Film Festival 2010
Posted On 04/28/2010 15:17:46 by patrickthecritic

     The 12th annual Roger Ebert's Film Festival was held April 21 - 25.  Here are reviews of the films there.

     "Pink Floyd the Wall" is infused with songs of great potency and resonance.  This feature length music video of sorts stands as a distinguished work of art that conjures feelings of dread, regret, exhilaration, and frustration.  Stretches of the Film are dank and disturbing.  Images of youth, the classroom, and a...

Princess Mononoke

     You cannot alter your fate.  You may rise to meet it if you choose.

     --  village elder to Prince Ashitaka

     Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke" is a meditation on nature, life and death, the beauty of the world, and the consequences of pollution and encroaching civilization.  This enveloping Japanese anime from the master Miyazaki is essentially a meditation on "the tangible and the intangibl...
