“Don Quixote”, Cervantes’ legendary novel, takes an adventurous route in illustrating the delusional downward spiral of a lowly man’s quest for personal glorification. Though he’s a loony old Spaniard with wispy dreams of personal importance, there’s something captivating about his wildly fervent passion. The same can be said for Charlie, the wild-eyed protagonist in Mike Cahill’s King of California. It’s a tale about his whimsical mental deconstruction, and a story packed to the gully with quirkiness and bittersweet warmth.

Ya gotta love revenge flicks. Those movies where a highly trained soldier/CIA Agent/mercenary gets pushed over the edge and goes after the bad guys with a vengeance are always a lot of fun. There’s just something about cheering for an anti-hero that is a bit liberating. 2004’s Man on Fire is such a film. Filled with impeccable actors and a tense script this is a good solid film that in another directors hands could have been great.
