After flicking around on a late night recently I came across a movie from 1989 I couldn’t believe I’d never heard of before. Val Kilmer and Michael Madsen??

Le Samouraï, directed by Jean-Pierre Mellville, is possibly one of the finest crime drama/film noir/thriller films ever made.

In a year in which animated 3D films dominated the box office and Nazi killin’ never looked like more fun, I’d have to say that 2009 was a kind of double edged sword type of year for films. On one hand, there were a ton of entertaining, smart and interesting films but on the other,...
