Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	The Cobweb (1955)	Niki Patton	With its usual twist, it's surprising that The Cobweb hasn't become a cult classic. This '50's studio picture combines the ever popular Hollywood topic of mental illness with interior decorating. Posted Mar 11, 2008 Edit critic review
	Real Women Have Curves (2002)	Niki Patton	One of the best things about "Real Women" is exactly that -- the real sized women (and men) who fill out this endearing coming-of-age story with a physical and emotional robustness that puts the Hollywood size-three's to shame. Posted Dec 15, 2005 Edit critic review
5/5	Murmur of the Heart (1971)	Niki Patton	A classic. Malle's homage to teenage love. Posted Nov 09, 2004 Edit critic review
4/5	Pat and Mike (1952)	Niki Patton	Hepburn and Tracy at their romantic-antagonistic best! Posted Nov 09, 2004 Edit critic review
	What the Bleep Do We Know!? (2004)	Niki Patton	Overall the talking heads do a great job - as in "How Quantum Physics Can Change YOUR Life!" The same can't be said for the storyline, which leaves much to be desired. Posted Nov 09, 2004 Edit critic review
5/5	It's a Wonderful Life (1946)	Niki Patton	If you don't cry at this Capra classic, you probably don't have tear ducts.... Posted Nov 11, 2003 Edit critic review
5/5	Harold and Maude (1971)	Niki Patton	Understatedly hilarious. Cort and Gordon are a truly unique pairing. A must see. Posted Nov 11, 2003 Edit critic review
4/5	Equus (1977)	Niki Patton	Posted Nov 11, 2003 Edit critic review
	Capturing the Friedmans (2003)	Niki Patton	Some would say that it's 'Schadenfreude,' a fascination with disaster, that keeps us watching...But this film provides rare insight into the failure of a American family... Posted Nov 11, 2003 Edit critic review
	Southern Comfort (2001)	Niki Patton	Films like Southern Comfort do what even legislation cannot: they seep into our consciousness, and work their way into our collective growth until the establishment and mainstream society finally relent and expand their viewpoint of what constitutes human Posted Mar 28, 2003 Edit critic review
	Promises (2001)	Niki Patton	What emerges is an unsettling picture of childhood innocence combined with indoctrinated prejudice. Promises is a compelling piece that demonstrates just how well children can be trained to live out and carry on their parents' anguish. Posted Dec 01, 2002 Edit critic review
5/5	Sweet Smell of Success (1957)	Niki Patton	An ambitious and self serving group bent on their own self survival make for a crisp script. Lancaster at his larger than life best... A classic. Posted Dec 01, 2002 Edit critic review
	All My Loved Ones (2000)	Niki Patton	Jir Hubac's script is a gem. His characters are engaging, intimate and the dialogue is realistic and greatly moving. The scope of the Silberstein family is large and we grow attached to their lives, full of strength, warmth and vitality.. Posted Dec 01, 2002 Edit critic review
4/5	Don't Look Now (1973)	Niki Patton	unending suspense -- intelligent and crisp Posted Nov 30, 2002 Edit critic review
4/5	Crossing Delancey (1988)	Niki Patton	A well directed and sensitive portrayal of match-making in the 20th century Posted Nov 30, 2002 Edit critic review
	The Komediant (2002)	Niki Patton	... a light, yet engrossing piece. Lux, now in her eighties, does a great combination act as narrator, Jewish grandmother and subject - taking us through a film that is part biography, part entertainment and part history. Posted Nov 30, 2002 Edit critic review
5/5	In Like Flint (1967)	Niki Patton	smart and needle sharp as only a meta-hip '60's James Coburn could have made it Posted Nov 30, 2002 Edit critic review
	Aimée & Jaguar (1999)	Niki Patton	...a rich melange of tumultous and sensual events. The story, acting, direction, set design and costuming fluidly combine to give a passionate portrait of living and loving on the edge of despair in a place and time where there was no tomorrow. Posted Nov 30, 2002 Edit critic review
	The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999)	Niki Patton	It is the quintessential version of the story of the classic mythic hero, one who begins as underdog without a chance, and faces insurmountable challenges and hurdles to become a champion, doing it all with grace, grit and style.
