Choking Man (2007)45%

2/6
 
" Far too much of the film indulges in the sort of shrill alarmism that gives environmentalism a bad name." -- Time Out New York

" Opening with a scene from a bad sitcom that turns out to be indistinguishable from the rest of the movie, Finding Amanda limps before it’s even out of the gate." -- Time Out New York

" Wears a bit thin even at its brief length." -- Time Out New York

Full Grown Men (2008)40%

2/6
 
" The dynamics are overfamiliar and the whole movie feels vaguely punitive, an exercise in human misery that’s not improved by director Anand Tucker’s rote tear-jerking." -- Time Out New York
Posted Jun 5, 2008
 
When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)70%
/
3/6
 
" The movie never gains much narrative momentum and the religious elements remain a bit obscure to the uninitiated, but the fine Sufi music and skillfully crafted images make for pleasant-enough viewing." -- Time Out New York

Bab'Aziz - The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul (2008)57%
/
3/6
 
" Compelling as it often is, Anamorph feels positively cloddish next to David Fincher’s Seven or Zodiac, with which it shares a fondness for shadowy rooms and dimly lit obsessions." -- Time Out New York

" Building up to what’s supposed to be a serious moral dilemma, the noisy final act borders on incoherence." -- Time Out New York

" This absurdist black comedy from Norway is unlike any other movie you’ll see this year, but as allegory, it’s a bit too literal-minded." -- Time Out New York

" Pathfinder’s main appeal will be to connoisseurs of gore, who will find no shortage of graphically rendered stabbings, shootings, smashings, severings and slicings." -- Time Out New York

Pathfinder (2007)11%

1/6
 
" Much time is spent waiting for a methane-filled toilet to explode, an incident that only begins to approximate the visceral experience of watching this movie." -- Time Out New York

" The movie has its share of wobbly moments, and the resolution feels a bit like a cop-out." -- Time Out New York

Amu (2005)76%

2/6
 
" Even Money never quite achieves [Crash's] epic badness -- but Kim Basinger’s mortifying turn as the struggling writer is hysterical in every sense of the word." -- Time Out New York
Posted May 19, 2007
 
Even Money (2007)25%

3/6
 
" Like its hero, this unassuming comedy is nothing special to look at, but too sweet to despise." -- Time Out New York
Posted Apr 21, 2007
 
The Valet (2007)69%
/
3/6
 
" As befits the form, enjoyment of this film will depend almost entirely on one’s appreciation of the substantial anatomical charms of its lead actress." -- Time Out New York
Posted Apr 14, 2007
 
The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007)30%
/
2/6
 
" Laden with false climaxes, the overstuffed plot leaves you exhausted well before the movie ends, and the amiable actors sleepwalk through their uninspired roles." -- Time Out New York

" It's tough to be sure of anything in this murky experimental feature, which sadly fails to live up to its title." -- Village Voice

Frankensteins Bloody Nightmare (2006)43%

" This witless satire dares to take on the culture of -- get ready for this -- reality TV!" -- Village Voice

" ... Todd Verow's overstuffed Vacationland promises more than it delivers in just about every sense." -- Village Voice

" Kill Your Idols pulls a few punches, tempering its respect for No Wave values like extremity and contentiousness with a more 2006 concern for not actually offending anyone in particular." -- Village Voice

Kill Your Idols (2006)38%

" It's all pleasant enough, but the pretty pictures, languid pacing, and endless stretches of mood music eventually combine to soporific effect." -- Village Voice
Posted Apr 25, 2006
 
Suite Habana (2006)71%
/
 
" The script, overly laden with red herrings, forces its characters into some improbable dilemmas...and the ambiguous ending feels inconsistent with the too tidy setup." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 14, 2006
 
Beautiful City (2006)89%

" Cabras and Molinari squander a golden opportunity to produce a spiritually oriented variation on the lightweight making-of genre." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 14, 2006
 
The Big Question (2006)44%
/
 
" It's tough to connect with the almost context-free displays of emotion, and a century into the era of psychoanalysis, there's little about the men's assorted troubles with mothers and fathers, wives and girlfriends, that comes as a revelation." -- Village Voice
Posted Feb 14, 2006
 
Desert Wind (2006)25%
/
 
" The movie's most political aspect may be its quaint respect for the basic principles of evolution." -- Village Voice
Posted Sep 6, 2005
 
A Sound of Thunder (2005)8%
/
 
" The filmmakers largely take Goebbels's injunction against 'aestheticizing experimentation' to heart, eschewing dialectical montage and allowing the clips to merely illustrate the diary entries." -- Village Voice

" Another depressing reminder of how far the genre has fallen." -- Village Voice

" Honkasalo's self-consciously high-art approach seems likely, at least for American audiences, to render an already remote conflict even stranger and more exotic." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 26, 2005
 
The 3 Rooms of Melancholia (2005)70%
/
 
" [Goldblum's] wildly improbable character is all too typical of the contrived plotting and reductive psychology that propel the script to its inevitable conclusion." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 22, 2005
 
Dallas 362 (2005)56%
/
 
" Surprisingly cogent in its political analysis for much of the way, The Deal falters with a halfhearted endorsement of incremental reform, proving not quite to have the courage of its own cynicism." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 14, 2005
 
The Deal (2005)21%

" Raging Dove can't avoid the biodoc pitfall of fixating on its subject's personal saga to the virtual exclusion of all else; by the end it's essentially blaming the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for Abu Lashin's professional demise." -- Village Voice
Posted Apr 12, 2005
 
Raging Dove (2001)80%

" [A] poorly organized mishmash of archival war films, scholarly chatter, and literary quotations." -- Village Voice

Voices in Wartime (2005)81%

" Never finds a way of extending its critique to the viewer." -- Village Voice

The Other Side of the Street (2005)75%

" It's difficult to remember a recent movie with less regard for spatial or temporal coherence." -- Village Voice
Posted Feb 8, 2005
 
Boogeyman (2005)13%
/
 
" The film never explores the material consequences of the decisions these men make (only one woman figures prominently); Hoessli seems more interested in how world events affect the markets than on how the markets impact the world." -- Village Voice
Posted Jan 5, 2005
 
Wall Street (2005)n/a
/
 
" Any film that credits itself as 'filmed and directed by the people of Iraq' deserves to be regarded with skepticism." -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 26, 2004
 
Voices Of Iraq (2006)60%

" Do you ever long to recapture that childhood feeling of being trapped in a car with your family three hours after the air conditioner's conked out on a sweltering summer day?" -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 12, 2004
 
Eulogy (2004)33%
/
 
" Dubiously aspiring to be a Mormon variation on Saving Private Ryan, this dull, static war movie follows five Allied soldiers trapped behind enemy lines in the waning days of World War II." -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 12, 2004
 
Saints And Soldiers ()66%

" Veers deep into male-weepie territory even before the dramatic appearance of one character's baby picture provokes a climactic father-son confrontation." -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 6, 2004
 
Around the Bend (2004)29%
/
 
" The constant cell phone chatter and pervasive split screen do little to prop up a limp, poorly structured screenplay." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 20, 2004
 
Flavors (2004)47%
/
 
" This nearly plotless movie follows the maiden voyage of NWA (a moniker that seems to be the extent of the film’s wit) through a torrent of stale ghetto jokes in the vein exhausted years ago by the Wayans brothers." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 1, 2004
 
Soul Plane (2004)19%

" Eventually gets bogged down in simplistic 'be yourself' moralizing destined to fail with its target audience." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 23, 2004
 
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004)21%
/
 
" A ham-fisted satire on the American obsession with appearance, Made-Up is ultimately self-defeating and even offensive." -- Village Voice
Posted Jan 20, 2004
 
Made-Up (2004)41%

" A flimsily scripted quest for hidden loot." -- Village Voice
