|
After The Wedding (2007) |
|
"It speaks the universal language of high romance in the distinctly unromantic Danish tongue. But don't be put off by that. It is a kind of treat we are only rarely offered these days." | |

 |
 |
| |
|
|
All The King's Men (2006) |
|
"Zaillian's movie is much more a reimagining than a remake, and it's much more faithful to the tone of the novel, which is by no means easy to duplicate." | |
Richard Schickel | |

|
Apocalypto (2006) |
|
"Gibson is a primitive all right, but so were Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith, and somehow we survived their idiocies. Doubtless there will come a day when he joins them in the Valhalla of the vacuous." | |
Richard Schickel | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
