THE ODYSSEY

“The Odyssey is one of the classics of Western literature. Nolan might have asked what made it endure, rather than treating it as if this was the cinematic equivalent of a Classics Illustrated comic book.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“I also had issues with Damon’s performance. He’s seems to be caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of Nolan’s direction of  the character. Damon seems to have been recruited to be both a blank slate ‘Everyman,’ and Jason Bourne by way of Genghis Kahn–but he hasn’t found the through line. ” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

CORONER TO THE STARS

“Coroner To The Stars is a fascinating look at someone who didn’t seek the spotlight but whose professionalism and high standards would not let him avoid it.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
