Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Todd Tamura This a great documentary featuring Japanese-Americans who served the American military in WWII from different walks of life (Hawaiians who were already serving, mainlanders whose families were in relocation camps while they served, and MIS) who recount both military experiences in general and experiences (both positive and negative) specific to being Japanese-Americans serving after Pearl Harbor. I think what is particularly interesting and touching about this documentary is how they get these guys to open up and talk about something that they haven't talked about before; they have footage of more than one guy recounting things and their closest family members (wives, daughters) saying how they never heard them talk about these things before, and when I showed it to one of my friends she was surprised to see her grandfather featured (and said she had never heard him talk about the things he talked about either). I have lent my DVD to so many friends that now I've lost track of it and need to buy a new one.
