J. Edgar
Movie Review | Ali | 17th January 2012
One of the cardinal sins of film journalism is that you must never call a film 'boring' – professionalism dictates that there must be a more accurate way of singling out the movie's flaws; a more apt way of summing up why it disappoints.

Movie Review | Ali | 16th October 2010
