"You’re never quite sure if you’re supposed to laugh or shudder, which is saying a lot at a time when most movies drop their seventh veil before the trailer has even come to an end." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
Baghead (2008)87%
/
 
"Ticking away just beneath Step Brothers’ freely associative surface is a fairly astute commentary on how we define such abstract concepts as 'growing up' and 'making something of yourself.'" -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)54%
/
 
"[Bustin’ Down the Door] will leave surf junkies and novices alike longing to get their feet wet." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
Bustin' Down the Door (2008)64%
/
 
"Crude (in every sense) but surprisingly charming." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Kenny (2008)100%
/
 
"The Dark Knight [sounds] like heavy stuff -- and it is. But I should add that Nolan also delivers the kick-ass goods, from an opening bank heist a la Michael Mann to a climactic episode of vehicular mayhem a la William Friedkin." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%
/
 
"This won’t be remembered as one of the prodigiously talented Armstrong’s great films (My Brilliant Career, High Tide, Little Women), but it’s still 90 percent better than everything else out there." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Death Defying Acts (2008)47%
/
 
"[An] earnest, TV-style, talking-heads documentary." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Passing Poston (2008)n/a
/
 
"Despite its gimmicky-sounding premise, The Promotion is, like most of Conrad’s work, less concerned with matters of winning or losing than with man’s sometimes noble, sometimes deplorable, often futile attempts to distinguish himself from the herd." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jun 5, 2008
 
The Promotion (2008)47%
/
 
"We’re also (relievedly) a long way away here from the strenuous self-importance of the Bruckheimer-era blockbuster, and one should never look even such modest gift horses in the mouth." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 22, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%
/
 
"Pic has lots of charm, and parents in attendance won't feel too bored or alienated by its goings-on, while kids will lap it up." -- Variety
Posted May 20, 2008
 
Hey Arnold! The Movie (2002)31%
/
 
"By journey’s end, Chang has found, in the Yangtze, a brilliant natural metaphor for upward mobility in modern China: Whether they hail from the lowlands or the urban centers, everyone here is scrambling to reach higher ground." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Up The Yangtze (2008)95%
/
 
"Closer in spirit to the deadpan stylings of early Zucker brothers than the more obvious slap-shtick of the Austin Powers franchise," -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 8, 2008
 
OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)78%
/
 
"It’s an exemplary comic book fantasia. There’s plenty of CGI to go around here too, but Favreau uses it, for the most part, to enhance rather than supplant the movie’s physical dimension." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
 
"Inelegantly made and sometimes awkward in its transitions between the two eras, Dean’s film nonetheless packs a punch, thanks to vivid archival footage from this lesser-known (compared to Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham) hotbed of Southern racial unrest." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
Dare Not Walk Alone (2008)100%
/
 
"Body of War is neither the most cinematic nor the most elegantly crafted of recent Iraq war documentaries, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the most deeply affecting." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
Body of War (2008)71%
/
 
"The film’s appeal is at once sentimental and perverse: It’s not every day that you get to see a 92-year-old woman soloing on 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go.'" -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
Young@Heart (2008)88%
/
 
"Bra Boys is nevertheless intriguing for its insider’s perspective of an outsider culture steeped in tradition, male-bonding rituals, and intense localism." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
Bra Boys (2008)60%
/
 
"It's a gas." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 3, 2008
 
Shine a Light (2008)86%
/
 
"Klotz walks a perilous tightrope between profundity and pretension without ever tipping into the chasm." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 19, 2008
 
Heartbeat Detector (2008)76%
/
 
"It Always Rains on Sunday is a masterpiece of dead ends and might-have-beens, highly inventive... and brilliantly acted..." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 19, 2008
 
It Always Rains on Sunday (1947)n/a
/
 
"A valuable addition to the growing canon of slow-food films for our fast-food nation." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 13, 2008
 
All In This Tea (2008)82%
/
 
"Self-financed pic, which opens in Gaul on June 27, won't do much to win Lelouch any new fans at home or abroad. But it should amply please the old ones." -- Variety
Posted Mar 12, 2008
 
Roman de Gare (2008)88%
/
 
"Stunning." -- Variety
Posted Mar 11, 2008
 
Bloody Sunday (2002)92%
/
 
"Like a Tolstoyan epic." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
Summer Palace (2008)65%
/
 
"Although the matters on Romero's mind weigh heavy, the movie he's made is anything but heavy-handed. Clocking in at a svelte 95 minutes, Diary of the Dead zips along." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 14, 2008
 
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)60%
/
 
"[A] wryly comic, sometimes heartbreaking and altogether original film." -- Variety
Posted Jan 28, 2008
 
Momma's Man (2008)n/a
/
 
"The strong performances and Chaiken's vivid NYC locations, lend the film unexpected resonance." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jan 10, 2008
 
Liberty Kid (2007)86%
/
 
"It breathes new life into the genre by dousing it in buckets of blood." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 20, 2007
 
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%
/
 
"If, as a movie, I Am Legend is less stylistically mind blowing and intellectually ambitious than last year’s Yuletide dystopia, Children of Men, it’s not far off." -- Village Voice
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
I Am Legend (2007)69%
/
 
"A secular hymn to the small triumphs and cavernous tragedies of the everyday, and to our awesome ability to cope." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 6, 2007
 
Secret Sunshine ()92%
/
 
"It has an elating lightness that belies its heavy subject -- peace, or at least conversation, in the Middle East -- and it leaves you filled with a sense of possibility." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 6, 2007
 
The Band's Visit (2007)98%
/
 
"Imagine Marty if Marty had turned out to be the Unabomber and you’ll have the gist of writer-director Frank Cappello’s oddly compelling, pitch-black comedy." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 5, 2007
 
He Was a Quiet Man (2007)78%
/
 
"[A] startling sophomore feature by 26-year-old writer-director (and Larry Fessenden protégé) Ti West." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 18, 2007
 
Trigger Man (2007)88%
/
 
"Crossing the Line, like its subject, remains a fascinating and frustrating enigma -- a declassified government report still marred by redacted passages." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 11, 2007
 
Crossing the Line (2007)89%
/
 
"This superb debut feature by Korean-American director So Yong Kim seems to be constructed entirely of the ineffable and intangible, those fleeting moments that most movies treat as throwaways." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 4, 2007
 
In Between Days (2006)84%
/
 
"Mainly, the re-release is a good excuse to indulge once more in Scott’s iconic and highly influential vision of a future Los Angeles choked by rain, neon and cheap pleasure palaces." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 4, 2007
 
Blade Runner - The Final Cut (1982)97%
/
 
"...one of Herzog's best and most purely enjoyable." -- Variety
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
Encounters at the End of the World (2008)95%
/
 
"Gerwig is a modest (like everything in Mumblecore) revelation in the role, with a lithe, teasing sexuality and a vibrant personality that seems to be darting off in as many directions as her tousled blonde hair." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 27, 2007
 
Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)66%
/
 
"Generally solid performances." -- Variety
Posted Sep 25, 2007
 
Emotional Arithmetic (2007)14%
/
 
"Call it the first green horror picture, punctuated by ample doses of red. Oh, and it’s also scary as f--k." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 20, 2007
 
The Last Winter (2007)78%
/
 
"Penn’s film burns with native intelligence, never tipping into hagiography, and always doing what very few purveyors of McCandless’ story have been able or willing to do. It engages with him on his own terms." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 20, 2007
 
Into the Wild (2007)83%
/
 
"Jordan’s ballsy and sometimes bonkers movie is more ambitious and alive -- more worth writing, talking and thinking about -- than anything that has tumbled off the Hollywood assembly line in a good long while." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 13, 2007
 
The Brave One (2007)44%
/
 
"Under Mangold’s sure if uninspired hand, the new Yuma is reasonably exciting and terse, and, like its predecessor, built around a memorable villain of ambiguous villainy." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 6, 2007
 
3:10 to Yuma (2007)89%
/
 
"It is the point -- and the power -- of Deep Water that the vast, unknowable fathoms of the sea are rivaled only by those of the human psyche." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 23, 2007
 
Deep Water (2007)96%
/
 
"Superbad is a movie about partying and getting wasted and getting the girl, but as the night wears on, much wisdom is gained too, about self, friendship and the end of teenage innocence in all its wondrous, terrifying splendor." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 16, 2007
 
Superbad (2007)87%
/
 
"There is scarcely a false note in writer-director Shane Meadows’ semi-autobiographical drama about a withdrawn, fatherless boy coming of age in Thatcherite England." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 2, 2007
 
This Is England (2007)93%
/
 
"It casts an increasingly hypnotic spell, thanks in no small measure to Wright - a fearless actress (and the real-life wife of writer-director Ruscio) who brings this sometimes despicable, often heartbreaking character to life with every atom of her being." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 2, 2007
 
Laura Smiles (2007)47%
/
 
"An uncommonly sensual and disquieting take on a familiar youth-movie theme: how the cocoon of adolescent sexual awakening can be torn apart by violent desire." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 26, 2007
 
One to Another (2007)47%
/
 
"...what The Simpsons Movie does -- and does well -- is to revisit the series’ most enduring situations and themes while upping the ante just enough to lend everything a new level of suspense." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 26, 2007
 
The Simpsons Movie (2007)89%
/
 
"Ten Canoes is a celebration of the art of storytelling, and of the power of stories to transcend all barriers of space, time and language. This is a movie with sheer magic in it." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 19, 2007
 
Ten Canoes (2007)98%
