DVD Tuesday: ‘We Own the Night’, ‘Why Did I Get Married?’

W. Andrew Powell
Reviews
Arriving on DVD this week, clichés are apparently alive and well, whether they pop up on the streets of New York City in the 80s crime-drama We Own the Night, or take the form of characters in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? I take a look at how these two films deal with their obvious faults, and still manage to keep the story alive and well.

TIFF 2001: Review of ‘Buffalo Soldiers’

W. Andrew Powell
Reviews
War movies usually aren't my thing. Even movies like Born On The Fourth of July or Patton didn’t really do anything for me, but when I saw that Buffalo Soldiers had Ed Harris, Anna Paquin, and the very talented Joaquin Phoenix (who always looks strung out to me), I had to see what the movie was all about.
