"Piñeyro's solution for every predictable plot advancement and character relationship is a lot of frantic arm-waving, as though to insist, 'But these gangsters are gay!'"
Posted Mar 2, 2002
 
Burnt Money (2001)76%
/
 
"With hardly any artistry in sight, the film's appeal cannot hold up, not even with a solid performance from Uma Thurman and a fine one from Ethan Hawke."
Posted Dec 9, 2001
 
Tape (2001)76%
/
 
"The conflicts, vistas, rhythm and mood are of a piece, but not every personality or circumstance is fully thought through."
Posted Apr 10, 2001
 
South of Heaven, West of Hell (2001)14%
/
 
"A little like enjoying the work of the best student of a great painter. All in all, you would probably like to go back to seeing the previous work."
Posted Feb 7, 2001
 
The Claim (2001)62%
/
 
"In a movie that bets the farm on delicate balancing, An Affair of Love comes close but doesn't quite strike the needed equilibriums."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
An Affair of Love (2000)84%
/
 
"Freeman seems to have spent much time lining up the plotlines, but somewhere along the way forgot to impart grit and substance to his characters."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Desert Blue (1998)44%
/
 
"The biggest flaw is the film's patent lack of a life pulse"
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
eXistenZ (1999)72%
/
 
"Although Winterbottom intended this tale of serious illness to escape the grip of melodrama, that's exactly where it ends up."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Go Now (1996)56%
/
 
"After the conceptually madcap and sophisticated The Impostors, one expects better."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Joe Gould's Secret (2000)65%
/
 
"The director must have wanted to impart an unfettered spontaneity to the audience. It doesn't quite happen, because of Korine's constraints as a filmmaker."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Julien Donkey-Boy (1999)19%
/
 
"Looking through a color art book on Bacon actually would make an appropriate substitute to watching the film."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Love Is The Devil (1998)68%
/
 
"Prettiness, yoked to stirring melodramatic material, is simply overburdened with more than it can deliver."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Oscar and Lucinda (1997)62%
/
 
"There isn't one conservationist idea in the tamely correct Mononoke that the adult audience didn't know already."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Princess Mononoke (1997)94%
/
 
"Frivolous portrait of director F.W. Murnau and the making of his vampire classic, Nosferatu."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Shadow of the Vampire (2000)82%
/
 
"A movie a little at odds with itself--finely executed, but too cutely clever for its own tough, gutsy material."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Shattered Image (1998)33%
/
 
"Shepard's material has worked its way into categorically better films, and the talents of the creative, ex-Police musician Stewart Copeland go largely untapped."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Simpatico (1999)23%
/
 
"The fiction element of the film, instead of driving Levin to deeper truths, delivers him toward triteness and manipulation."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Slam (1998)60%
/
 
"A story that places no constraints on happy coincidences, as this one, always teeters on the brink of corniness."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Still Breathing (1998)62%
/
 
"Contains only dabs and traces of the director's vision."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
The Gingerbread Man (1998)60%
/
 
"Waters' ambitions are amusingly perverse, but he hasn't justified why he doesn't portray any truly desirable alternatives for us."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
The House of Yes (1997)57%
/
 
"Dramatically unconvincing most of the way through, and even runs into logical inconsistencies where its main character's quest for God is concerned."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Wide Awake (1998)41%
/
 
"What is appallingly lacking in the film is recognizing the possibility that this person's life might be one big bundle of irresponsibility."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Wirey Spindell (1999)25%
/
 
"Too often comes across as so much fiddling with graphics and visual formats."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Year of the Horse: Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live (1997)52%
