"MacIntyre's heavy, heavy hand fudges it."
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
A Very British Gangster (2008)63%
/
 
""Inane" would be the kindest description of The Doorman."
Posted Jul 21, 2008
 
The Doorman (2008)25%
/
 
"There is not a single laugh or really emotionally involving moment one can cling to here. "
Posted Jul 14, 2008
 
Before I Forget (2008)86%
/
 
"Has a wan sweetness to it which helps it through its more forced and obvious patches, of which there are many."
Posted Jul 14, 2008
 
Harold (2008)25%
/
 
"The indulgent might term it "introspective," but a baleful, empty narcissism is the major affect one feels."
Posted Jul 14, 2008
 
Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)76%
/
 
"The year is half over, so it's not too soon to pick 2008's worst film and Stuck is a definite contender."
Posted Jun 2, 2008
 
Stuck (2008)71%
/
 
"It's a pity that King didn't take more of a chance with his fanatically devoted audience and give them something they may not have quite expected or even really wanted."
Posted May 30, 2008
 
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)51%
/
 
"The film feels far too schematic and, even allowing for its unrelentingly mercenary premise, far too cold to inspire much viewer identification."
Posted May 20, 2008
 
Yella (2008)76%
/
 
"Rookie writer-director Georgina Garcia Riedel's helming hand is both unsure and all over the place and she enervatingly spins this slight, could-have-been-charming conceit over two hours."
Posted May 16, 2008
 
How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2008)83%
/
 
"Spoofy fun at first, but eventually wears quite thin, and I don't think all that much could have been lost in the subtitles."
Posted May 8, 2008
 
OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)78%
/
 
"There's little real wit here and, as far as teen-chick antics go, it's definitely no Heathers or Clueless, not even Cruel Intentions. "
Posted May 8, 2008
 
The Babysitters (2008)28%
/
 
"Completely devoid of cinematic wit, sensuality or even simple technique."
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Viva (2008)68%
/
 
"Yet another small, "sensitive" character study of unassuming "little" folk trying their best under trying circumstances, all amounting to the purest banality."
Posted May 2, 2008
 
The Favor (2008)39%
/
 
"Under Puenzo's attentive yet strangely enervated direction, there's not much dramatic urgency here."
Posted May 2, 2008
 
XXY (2008)72%
/
 
"There are the odd few tender moments, but they are only brief interludes between more sturm und drang."
Posted Apr 21, 2008
 
Four Minutes (2007)76%
/
 
"At once too short to truly delve into the themes it brings up, as well as too long."
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Stalags (2008)50%
/
 
"The comedy grows more and more gratingly cynical and unpleasant."
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Sex and Death 101 (2008)27%
/
 
"All the muted, oh-so-painful male bonding grows tiresome and predictable."
Posted Mar 31, 2008
 
Shelter (2008)50%
/
 
"Johnstone, a friend of the family, maintains too discreet a distance from her subject."
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Hats Off (2008)38%
/
 
"However much objectivity the filmmakers try to bring to it, there is an inescapable element of glorification of thoroughly reprehensible characters."
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Chapter 27 (2008)20%
/
 
"The characters behave manically--in some imbecilic notion of Anglo farcical style, spitting out their lines with blinding haste--as if speed will conceal their utter lack of wit. "
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)78%
/
 
"Rivette's handling of this talky tale is static in the extreme."
Posted Feb 12, 2008
 
The Duchess of Langeais (2008)68%
/
 
"We've seen such coming-of-age tales many times before, and your liking of this movie will largely depend on how passionate you are about soccer. "
Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)85%
/
 
"Hollywood's latest, annoyingly ungrammatically titled offering in the seemingly endless line of hip-hop musicals, all possessing basically the same storyline and motivation."
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
How She Move (2008)66%
/
 
"The film becomes less and less involving as it spins out its excessive 140-minute running time."
Posted Jan 22, 2008
 
Summer Palace (2008)65%
/
 
"Things soon degenerate into forced whimsy and uninspired romantic formula. "
Posted Dec 20, 2007
 
P.S. I Love You (2007)20%
/
 
"What's shown is undeniably elegant, which unfortunately only points up Robinson's technical ineptitude."
Posted Dec 18, 2007
 
A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)75%
/
 
"Schroeder's heart is in the right place, but his cinematic taste is unfortunately elsewhere."
Posted Dec 10, 2007
 
Man in the Chair (2007)48%
/
 
"Writer-director Don Cato's handling of what might have been an intriguingly subversive black comedy can politely be described as Grade D student filmmaking."
Posted Dec 4, 2007
 
Be My Oswald (2007)n/a
/
 
"Nothing more than a white minstrel show and one is forced to wonder why this particular community is not out protesting it in force."
Posted Dec 4, 2007
 
Tony N' Tina's Wedding (2007)33%
/
 
"[Barron] has made Jorge so deeply withdrawn that you are unable to really feel anything for him other than a blind pity, which is decidedly not the stuff of compelling dramaturgy."
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Choking Man (2007)38%
/
 
"An abysmal little conceit wholly lacking in originality, wit or technical style."
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
Fat Girls (2007)29%
/
 
"Could almost be labeled a Gaelic minstrel show, so riddled is it with every conceivable cliché and stereotype ever associated with the sons of Eire."
Posted Oct 30, 2007
 
Black Irish (2007)25%
/
 
"This ham-handed interpolation of irrelevant footage is the chief demerit of his movie."
Posted Oct 22, 2007
 
Black White + Gray: A Portrait Of Sam Wagstaff And Robert Mapplethorpe (2007)77%
/
 
"LeMay's approach is a clumsily obvious one which demeans everything by turning the men's experiences into a kind of reality-TV soap opera."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Desert Bayou (2007)82%
/
 
"The ick-making factor of so much pat sentimentality becomes overwhelming well before the final scene, which has everyone blissfully paired up."
Posted Sep 20, 2007
 
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)65%
/
 
"For every odd laugh it earns, also induces twice as many groans for obviousness and coincidence-fraught comic straining."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Ira & Abby (2007)66%
/
 
"An unavoidable chorus of "ho-hum" starts up in your brain as the film begins. It's nothing you haven't seen a dozen or more times before."
Posted Sep 13, 2007
 
December Boys (2007)42%
/
 
"[Jordan] transforms here into a Hollywood hack, out to satisfy the lowest-common-denominator movie-exploitation prerequisites."
Posted Sep 13, 2007
 
The Brave One (2007)44%
/
 
"It all might have been more effective had there been more variation, but nuance is a foreigner to Turturro, who pitches things at ever-more screeching levels of vulgarity."
Posted Sep 6, 2007
 
Romance & Cigarettes (2007)53%
/
 
"The overall, overstressed tone is one of cynical whimsy meant to be incisively hard-hitting, but more often coming off as merely tiresome and abrasive."
Posted Aug 15, 2007
 
Delirious (2007)85%
/
 
"The film unfortunately ends as just another misguided indie, artily straining for substance."
Posted Jul 30, 2007
 
Laura Smiles (2007)47%
/
 
"Even more off-putting than the incessant faggot jokes is the movie's pandering for tolerance, which is queasily sentimental and patently unconvincing."
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)13%
/
 
"The perils the actors face would be far more shuddersome were their characters more sharply delineated from the outset."
Posted Jul 16, 2007
 
Event Horizon (1997)22%
/
 
"This is powerful stuff but, like so many political abduction dramas, suffers from a certain static quality."
Posted Jul 16, 2007
 
Four Days in September (1997)53%
/
 
"The film also feels curiously underpopulated, unenlivened by any sparky character bits."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Live Flesh (1997)78%
/
 
"A bit on the diffuse side, and would have benefitted from more conciseness and variation."
Posted Jul 11, 2007
 
Paul Monette: The Brink of Summer's End (1997)n/a
/
 
"This is all fairly excruciating."
Posted Jul 11, 2007
 
Slaves to the Underground (1996)n/a
/
 
"The overall presumptive smugness gets laid on a little too thickly."
Posted Jul 11, 2007
 
The Silver Screen: Color Me Lavender (1998)n/a
/
 
"It's directed as if by some mad Goth disco queen, utterly tweaked on crystal meth."
Posted Jul 5, 2007
 
Macbeth (2007)46%
