"The Fall is meant to celebrate the restorative power of imagination, but it leaves viewers burdened with a sense of despair and impending doom."
Posted May 7, 2008
 
The Fall (2008)53%
/
 
"Here [Wong's] found-art sets appear cluttered, his still-life tableaus clichéd and his beauty-shot close-ups unglamorous."
Posted Apr 2, 2008
 
My Blueberry Nights (2008)47%
/
 
"[Jieho] doesn't know what to do with actors, however, and the film's impressive ensemble is wasted."
Posted Jan 23, 2008
 
The Air I Breathe (2007)14%
/
 
"The film promises gnarly B-movie goosebumps but delivers an unctuous salve on noisome human nature. "
Posted Nov 20, 2007
 
Stephen King's The Mist (2007)71%
/
 
"Shepard insists that we feel Simon's pain and empathize with his righteous indignation, as though The Hunting Party were a morality tale or revenge play. It's not, and there's the rub."
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
The Hunting Party (2007)51%
/
 
"Amusing, yet not what we expect, or want, in a Bean comedy."
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)50%
/
 
"Overly long and literally unfocused documentary about the wine industry."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Mondovino (2005)70%
/
 
"Despite a superb cast, artful set design and seductive cinematography, Asylum remains a lovingly lensed missed opportunity."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Asylum (2005)37%
/
 
"An ambitious movie made on a modest budget, its intention is better than its execution."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
The Beautiful Country (2005)75%
/
 
"Hasn't the brightness of a romantic comedy nor the tristesse of melodrama."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Shopgirl (2005)62%
/
 
"One of those smart pictures that transcends genres, a costume romance inspired by Restoration comedy, French farce and vaudevillian slapstick."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Casanova (2005)42%
/
 
"Sermonizes in the manner Wilde satirized; the movie bends over backwards to assure the audience that marriage and monogamy, the butt of jokes throughout, are just and right."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
A Good Woman (2005)39%
/
 
"The actual images from the barren surface of our solar neighbor don't fill the giant screen."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Roving Mars (2006)67%
/
 
"All but devoted cineastes will be disappointed."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Changing Times (2006)65%
/
 
"The characters are one-dimensional, the plot makeshift, and the jokes unrelentingly cruel."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
School for Scoundrels (2006)25%
/
 
"The lavender fields of Provence, captured in full bloom, leave more of an impression than any actor in the movie except Whishaw."
Posted Dec 19, 2006
 
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)56%
/
 
"Earnest to a fault and depressing beyond reason, the film is unrelenting in its attempts to wrap the world in a shroud of fatalism."
Posted Dec 1, 2006
 
Babel (2006)68%
/
 
"More than an hour-and- a-half in length, the movie fizzles out before anything can explode, its characters incapable of sustaining narrative interest."
Posted Jan 26, 2006
 
Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2006)41%
/
 
"It can't decide if it's a bloated TV program or a truncated feature."
Posted Oct 6, 2005
 
Separate Lies (2005)70%
/
 
"Condon would like the audience to identify with his protagonist, despite his flaws, but he might have elicited greater empathy by focusing more on his subject than his subject's message."
Posted Nov 13, 2004
 
Kinsey (2004)90%
/
 
"Talky and mawkish."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
The Clearing (2004)45%
/
 
"Noujaim's viewers will learn little new about the inner workings of Al Jazeera, its philosophy, or its influence on its 40 million viewers."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Control Room (2004)96%
/
 
"Bukowski would be better served by a critical examination of his life, one which gets past the sentimental façade of an artist who played the roué to keep from tasting the bitterness (as Stephen Crane once put it) of his own heart."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Bukowski: Born Into This (2004)83%
/
 
"Achbar and Abbott would have had a first-rate film had they stuck with their conceit -- corporations as inmates running the asylum -- but they dilute their case in an attempt to make it irrefutable."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
The Corporation (2004)90%
/
 
"Gibson's obsession with the pain and suffering of Jesus, sublime and terrible, does not transubstantiate into spirituality; rather, the brutality of his film at first repels, then numbs, and finally titillates."
Posted Mar 2, 2004
 
The Passion of the Christ (2004)50%
/
 
"The movie is limp-loined and lame-brained."
Posted Jan 17, 2004
 
Secret Things (2003)48%
/
 
"The movie loses dramatic tension, its thrills and terrors enervated by the burden of didacticism."
Posted Nov 25, 2003
 
The Statement (2003)22%
/
 
"It's unfair, if inevitable, to compare this off-off-Hollywood indie with the BBC opus, but even on its own terms, The Singing Detective hits sour notes."
Posted Oct 28, 2003
 
The Singing Detective (2003)39%
/
 
"Luther would have been better served had the filmmakers, like Protestants, kept things simple and straightforward."
Posted Sep 16, 2003
 
Luther (2003)44%
/
 
"OT is inspiring, but abstractly so, like a six-part series on arts and education in the L.A. Times."
Posted Aug 23, 2003
 
OT: Our Town (2003)88%
/
 
"The film is as cliché-ridden as a rickshaw ride through Central Park, which is to say it tries hard to teach a tired formula new tricks."
Posted Jun 7, 2003
 
Love the Hard Way (2003)28%
/
 
"Lounguine has taken, if not an original story, an amazingly real one, and turned it into a spaghetti eastern, reducing a Dostoyevskian saga to a Leonean melodrama."
Posted May 31, 2003
 
Tycoon: A New Russian (2003)44%
/
 
"Watching an actor perform with his cell phone is about as interesting as staring at your dinner companion jabbering on his. It's rude, and aesthetically unsatisfying."
Posted Apr 26, 2003
 
Jet Lag (2003)55%
