Editor-in-chief of the inaccurately named blog Edward Copeland on Film. Though the primary focus is on movies, my contributors and I also discuss books, music, television and theater.

Hell and Back Again
Using modified equipment, this documentary gets closeup footage of fighting in Afghanistan but what sets this documentary apart is its innovative style since it also follows one Marine home, carrying the physical and psychological wounds of service with him. http://eddieonfilm.blogspot.com/2012/02/hell-and-back-again.htmlFavorite Films

Sam Levinson's directing debut, ANother Happy Day, for which he also wrote the script, succeeds far better than other recent dysfunctional families at wedding gathering films thanks to the right blend of dark humor, pathos and truth and a great cast. Ellen Barkin gets her best role in more than a decade and Ezra Miller continues to show that he's a young actor to watch. http://eddieonfilm.blogspot.com/2011/02/if-anyone-believes-these-two-families.html
