Pre-2020 Film Reviews
Beautiful City (2004)
- Excerpt: Beautiful City is not a perfect film—some of the plot complications are contrived, and some of the characters’ action derived seem to stem from narrative necessity alone—but it’s a very interesting film that provides a glimpse at the early years of a filmmaker today acknowledged as a master of his craft.
By the Grace of God (2018)

Dagon (2001)
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: DAGON is a Spanish film based on H. P. Lovecraft’s “The Shadow over Innsmouth” (although it is directed by American Stuart Gordon). It is definitely more true to the source material that a lot of other “Lovecraftian” films.
Strangers in the House (1942)
Ten Little Indians (1989)
Travelling Salesman (2012)
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: TRAVELLING SALESMAN(*) has four mathematicians and a government representative sitting in a room and discussing what should be done with their proof that P=nP (and the underlying algorithm). The ending is a let-down, though, because it does not appear that the filmmakers have thought through the implications.
