"Where's Agatha Christie when you need her?" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Apr 22, 2008
 
Roman de Gare (2008)87%
/
 
"Quite unforgettable. Thorough in its investigation, complex in its analysis, and humane in its outcry, it is hard to imagine any documentary of more importance being released this year." -- CultureCatch
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Standard Operating Procedure (2008)77%
 N/A  
"The Oscar Cometh. Who Cares?" -- CultureCatch
Posted Apr 14, 2008
 
2008 Academy Awards ()n/a
/
 
"This zany, high-kickin', forever clucking, fecal-matter-spattered fun fest is Troma at its best. This is a Sweeney Todd for low-lifes. A must-see for vegans." -- CultureCatch
Posted Apr 12, 2008
 
Poultrygeist (2008)68%
/
 
"Edmond elicits very strong performances as he surveys the wreckage of a woman's life and her ability --if any-- to persist." -- CultureCatch
Posted Mar 22, 2008
 
Contre Toute Espérance (2007)n/a
/
 
"With truly fine performances, resulting in several riveting scenes, one can easily overlook the dingy cinematography and bothersome sound track to befriend this beguiling look at loneliness." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Mar 22, 2008
 
Vivere (2008)47%
/
 
"That the lead character is inert is no reason for the film to follow suit." -- CultureCatch
Posted Feb 17, 2008
 
Tout Est Pardonné (2007)n/a
/
 
"With wit, relentless questioning, and a little whining, Lotan has fashioned an engaging documentary that will have you unzipping this issue and rethinking your stance, no matter where you stand." -- CultureCatch
Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
The Quest for the Missing Piece (2008)n/a
 N/A  
"Heath Ledger: The Next James Dean?" -- CultureCatch
Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)n/a
/
 
"Your appreciation of this circular plotting will have a great deal to do with how tongue-in-cheek you believe the film is" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
The Air I Breathe (2007)14%
/
10/10
 
"The cast is superb, the direction flawless, and the film unmistakably consequential." -- CultureCatch
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Tehilim (2007)29%
 N/A  
"A Tree Grows in Israel: Joseph Cedar and his Beaufort" -- New York Theatre Wire

Beaufort (2008)88%
 N/A  
"A Tree Grows in Israel: Joseph Cedar and his Beaufort" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Beaufort (2008)88%
/
 
"In this dreary, cockamamie Valentine to New York City haters, concocted by the father/son team of Roderick and Bruce A. Taylor--a good argument for the government sterilization of a certain family's genes--radio personality Erica Bain (Foster) is confront" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Dec 18, 2007
 
The Brave One (2007)44%
/
 
" A tedious, empty-headed stoner film focusing on a female pothead, who's limited to one facial expression and lines such as "I'm totally vibing on you, dude," has arrived just in time to greet the New Year. Santa must have thought we were very, very bad." -- CultureCatch
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
Smiley Face (2007)67%
/
 
"Posey's admirers will experience a sensual intoxication that fans always experience when their film goddesses are at their very best." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Nov 22, 2007
 
Broken English (2007)64%
/
 
"A documentary with scintillating content about how societies around the world use their bodies as an art form. One African tribe even elongates their skulls, which looks chic, but I'm not sure what it does for their brains." -- Entertainment Asylum
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Body Art (2001)n/a
/
 
"One of the best films about the homeless ever made." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Dark Days (2000)96%
/
 
"This is the tenth final version of the Blade Runner. This version is the best. It goes snap . . .snap . . . snap." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Blade Runner (1982)91%
/
 
"Imagine the Three Stooges if they had gone to Yale." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)67%
/
 
"You enter expecting something really stupid, and you wind up with something really clever . . . hysterical . . . wise." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Freshman Orientation (2007)33%
/
 
"Accomplished melding of both an aesthetic and a moral sensibility, of politics and art, of love and disillusionment, of acting and being." -- CultureCatch
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)96%
/
 
"As for the creators' notions that all Jewish boys are Orthodox nerds with flopping peyos and that all homosexuals are drag queens, what the hell! It's only 2007." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Sep 22, 2007
 
Sydney White (2007)37%
/
 
"In the end, this is a fevered tale of an outsider, spurred on by his belief in God, who believes his role in life is to save a people, and for a while it seems he is making a difference. What film can top that nowadays?" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Sep 12, 2007
 
The Price of Sugar (2007)72%
/
 
"As for Olmos, he has achieved more than most could have with an often cliched screenplay ("Homies are getting killed every day. It's sad." "Those are our f***en homeboys back there. Why don't you show a little respect?")." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Aug 22, 2007
 
Splinter (2006)33%
/
 
"There's no doubt director/writer Apatow is supplying a national service by allowing the inept to feel adequate about themselves." -- Entertainment Asylum
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
Knocked Up (2007)91%
/
 
"While constantly spouting its be-kind-to-your-neighborhood-queer sermons, every dated, vicious stereotype of being a homosexual is dragged out again and again in this Adam Sandler vehicle." -- CultureCatch
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)13%
/
 
"There are films about monstrous overbearing moms, often played by Shelley Winters, and there are those "heartwarming" losing-one's-virginity flicks ("Summer of '42"). Australia's entry into this field consolidates the best elements of both genres." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jul 8, 2007
 
Introducing The Dwights (2007)52%
/
 
"this production gives The Sopranos a run for the money when it comes to blood-laden butchery. Not once but twice does this Macbeth saunter about splattered with hemoglobin from head to foot, looking very Carrie-like, post-bucket spilling." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jul 4, 2007
 
Macbeth (2007)48%
/
 
"SiCKO is, without argument, one of the most important films you'll ever see in your lifetime, which might be rather short depending upon your HMO." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 27, 2007
 
Sicko (2007)93%
/
 
"Recall those early British comedies that all seemed to star Rita Tushingham. Well, attach the 1st half of one of those to the 2nd half of a Hitchcock chiller, and you have an enjoyable film that'll have you digging your fingernails deeply into your nachos" -- Entertainment Asylum
Posted Jun 27, 2007
 
Shallow Grave (1987)n/a
 N/A  
"Brady Bunch Goes Gay Friendly" -- Bay Area Reporter
Posted Jun 27, 2007
 
Brady Bunch Movie (1995)59%
/
 
"But in a sense, Pasolini's was the perfect death for someone who lived on the edge, whose art was raw as it could be." -- Entertainment Asylum
Posted Jun 27, 2007
 
Mamma Roma (1962)100%
/
 
"Although the head-shaved, sprightly Eytan Fox might just be a prince of the Kosher New Wave emanating out of Israel for the past decade, he's definitely the king of the faygala division of the same movement." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 21, 2007
 
The Bubble (2007)55%
/
 
"Essential viewing for any student of Middle-Eastern affairs and scholar of human nature." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 20, 2007
 
Hot House (2006)n/a
/
 
"To make a disgruntled film such as this one or any other in Algeria must be a brave act indeed. Sadly, some acts of valor don't achieve their desired ends." -- GreenCine
Posted Jun 11, 2007
 
Rome Rather Than You (2006)n/a
/
 
"Not unlike Amos Gitai's Kadosh (1999), this is a saga of how an unconscious misinterpretation of religion can disintegrate a family instead of enhancing its life experience." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 11, 2007
 
My Father, My Lord (2006)88%
/
 
"What makes Venus unforgettable is not the fine direction and script, or Vanessa Redgrave's startling cameo as Maurice's suffering ex-wife, or Whittaker's award-worthy debut; it's that the viewer can't draw a line between O'Toole's career and Maurice's." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Venus (2006)89%
/
 
"Puccini is the joyously refreshing romancer that it tries so hard to be. Its success has a lot to do with its casting directors who have peopled both the major and minor roles with aplomb. Even off-off-Broadway legend Helen Hanft has a cameo." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Puccini for Beginners (2007)49%
/
 
"One can see Moliére being jealous of the plot line, and Karl Marx applauding. You see capitalists who exploit the masses do not fare too well in this venture." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
The Valet (2007)68%
/
 
"Pegg in a stellar comic performance lifts the film from being a mere applaudable satire to a first-class entertainment. Imagine Jimmy Stewart in "Animal House" or Steve McQueen in "Road Trip."" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Hot Fuzz (2007)90%
/
 
"If you recall the long-running TV series "Alice," you'll pretty much be revisiting familiar territory. Sadly, though, no one belts out, 'Kiss my grits.'" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Waitress (2007)89%
/
 
"Any fans of Oscar Wilde, run for the hills!" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
And Then Came Love (2007)9%
/
 
"Rock seems to be unintentionally arguing that a black male of any economic class will still go through life with the thought and speech patterns of an uneducated juvenile delinquent who's ready for lockup on "Law and Order."" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Mar 16, 2007
 
I Think I Love My Wife (2007)19%
/
 
"delightfully acted, entertaining, Franco take on the "Sex in the City" lifestyle among the kosher set." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Jan 16, 2007
 
Comme t'y es belle! (2006)n/a
/
 
"most fun is the high priestess of British stage, Fiona Shaw, who goes over the top as Madeleine's unbalanced mom. Her dinner scene alone with all of her epileptic-like tics and scowls is the grandest of Grand Guignol" -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Sep 15, 2006
 
The Black Dahlia (2006)35%
/
 
"You can easily tell that the budget was threadbare. In fact, the catering for the crew probably consisted of tap water and peanut-and-jelly sandwiches. " -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Sep 4, 2006
 
Sidekick (2008)100%
/
 
"If in 20 or 30 years, Daniel Craig has retired from playing Ian Fleming's stalwart secret agent, the series' producers need look no further than Alex Pettyfer for their new man." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Sep 2, 2006
 
Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)33%
/
 
"if you are not afraid of tranquility, if your favorite part of Antonioni's "Blowup" is the tennis game with the imaginary ball, or if you carry a joint in your Velamints tin, "Old Joy" will be your joy." -- New York Theatre Wire
Posted Sep 1, 2006
 
Old Joy (2006)85%
