Closer (2004)
Some dramas which revolve around relationships, especially with people who speak from raw emotion, make me feel like a voyeur, peeking in on private conversations and intimate moments I wouldn’t ever see otherwise. Then...
Vertigo (1958)
Vertigo is my favorite movie of all time. It’s a mesmerizing psychological thriller that beguiles on multiple levels and has come to be known as the film that most reveals the man behind the camera,...
Hudson Hawk (1991)

Batman Returns (1992)
I remember when I was much younger being completely entranced by this sequel to the mega-blockbuster, Batman, for its darkly complex, psychological world of gray-area shades of good vs. evil. Watching it today, I wince...
