2.5/5
 
"A well made concert film that will, nevertheless, fail to satisfy Reed's many dedicated fans."

2.5/5
 
"Takes scattershot aim at all manner of appropriate targets—the vapid nature of local television news, the perceived stigma of standing out from the pack in America, the dilemma of dreams deferred and abandoned—but rarely hits the comic bull’s-eye."

"If your idea of humor is spending time with creepy-looking lowlifes who don’t have a brain among them, by all means check out Trailer Park Boys. The rest of you can save your money for better, smarter movies."

"For the first time, the great Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien (Three Times, Café Lumiere) has made a movie set outside of Asia. The project, alas, is of little interest."

"Jacques Rivette, one of France’s most original filmmakers, stumbles with his latest film from a novella by Honore de Balzac, a period drama set in mid-19th-century France and Italy that is stopped dead by the one-note performance of Guillaume Depardieu."

"This likable, laidback movie goes down well, a pleasant dash of Southern Comfort with some great tunes mixed into the batch."

"Eran Kolirin’s uncommonly assured directorial debut hinges on its characters, and in Ronit Elkabetz as Dina, and Sasson Gabai as Tewfiq, he strikes cinematic gold."

"This Romanian drama suffers from a flaw common to many European films: too much intellect, not enough heart."

"A timely reminder that love stories don’t have to be crass or contrived to succeed, even if one of the star-crossed lovers is entirely artificial."

Lars And The Real Girl (2007)81%

"Much of the film, burdened by unnecessary, obvious narration, is an overly languid, dully paced prelude to the main event..."

"That human touch is what distinguishes In the Shadow of the Moon from run-of-the-mill documentaries and is a timely reminder, in these dark days, that mankind is capable of much that is good."

"Though much of what’s in the film isn’t new information, seeing it all compiled in one place and building to its damning argument against Moore is effective and disturbing."

Manufacturing Dissent (2007)52%

3.5/5
 
"Anchored by Parastui’s luminous, heartfelt performance, [director] Majidi also revels in the joy of sight, especially as manifested in the beauty and lovely colors of nature. The Willow Tree is a powerful and ultimately optimistic movie."

"Shot like a music video, the movie is quick-cutting, glossy and superficial, causing one to wonder about its serious intent."

"The film retreats to political allegory -- evocations of the Bush administration’s so-called fear-mongering on terrorism -- and obvious pot shots at family values. More than anything, Fido is a missed opportunity."

"Guided by To’s elegant camera moves, less visceral than most Hong Kong filmmakers, the Election movies put a fresh, intriguing spin on the usual cinematic gangster motifs."

"It’s well acted by Resnais’s usual troop of performers, but this is decidedly one of the master’s lesser works."

"Script takes one melodramatic turn too many, ultimately pushing the film’s characters around like so many pieces on a chessboard. What begins so promisingly ends on a decidedly soapy note."

"As unwieldy a film as one can imagine, Ghost Rider mixes Christian theology, classic Western motifs, pure horror, glitzy special effects and modern superhero angst to deathly ill effect."

Manufactured Landscapes (2007)84%

2.5/5
 
"The film, alas, never scales their acting heights, plodding along in a staid fashion and tamping down the strong emotions that reside below its surface. This should have been a much more powerful movie."

"The film also conveniently omits the fact that many other Arabs supported the Germans. That smoothing out of complex issues makes Indigenes more of a simple crowd pleaser than a genuinely challenging film."

"The Holiday is a drippily sentimental and contrived movie that ladles on the treacle with a particularly heavy hand and strands some good actors -- and not so good ones -- along the way."

"The film may ostensibly deal with serious issues such as collaboration, the fight to survive and the need for forgiveness or revenge, but they’re really just window dressing for Verhoeven’s elaborately assembled but empty set pieces."

"One of those 'small' movies that, because it’s uncompromisingly honest, risks being inflated into something more than it is."

"A family film with a difference, Wondrous Oblivion displays real bite as it incisively tackles such adult subjects as racism, anti-Semitism, adultery and the plight of immigrants in an intolerant land."

"While The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes is a handsomely mounted production and not an unintelligent one, it’s also emotionally cold and too familiar by half."

"...Too many dull subplots, notably one concerning Anna’s disapproving boyfriend, and director Agnieszka Holland’s typically heavy hand, dampen any musical fireworks that the film might have generated."

"Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige revisits some of the same themes -- questioning appearances, reality and perceptions -- as the director’s previous Memento but with less satisfying results."

"Set in Paris circa 2054, the animated Renaissance deliberately meshes science fiction and film noir. Unfortunately, all it does with that provocative combination is remind the viewer that there have been better films made in both genres."
