" Right from the beginning, there's a discomforting sense of banality blanketing the film: the journey, the pie motif, the faith in "new beginnings.""
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
My Blueberry Nights (2008)47%
/
 
" More technically marvelous than Citizen Kane; more epic than Treasure of the Sierra Madre; more thrilling than any Malick film (yes, even Badlands)."
Posted Jan 3, 2008
 
There Will Be Blood (2007)91%
/
 
" Champions of the novel who oppose the imbalanced adaptation will find no wrongdoing with the look of the film."
Posted Dec 6, 2007
 
Atonement (2007)83%
/
 
" Forget the six impersonations of Bob Dylan. Ultimately, I’m Not There is all about Todd Haynes trying to be Jean-Luc Godard."
Posted Nov 21, 2007
 
I'm Not There (2007)78%
/
 
" Each scene feels like its own little Hotel Chevalier, contrived for the mere purpose of seduction and nothing more."
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)66%
/
 
" Vanessa Redgrave pursuing a poorly CGI-ed butterfly, with this incredibly idiotic look on her face, reminded me of a time I saw a retarded dog chasing a tree."
Posted Jun 28, 2007
 
Evening (2007)27%
/
 
" The only part where Pan errs is in its marketing, via a top-of-the-poster blurb that proclaims it a “fairy tale for grown-ups.”"
Posted Dec 28, 2006
 
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)96%
/
 
" She’s a wife in the suburbs. She’s a whore. She’s a damsel in distress. She’s everything but an actress."
Posted Dec 15, 2006
 
Inland Empire (2006)70%
/
 
" The ending is cowardly, mawkishly idealistic and, worst of all, panders to the upbeat-ending demands of Hollywood (Babel is the largest financed Iñárritu film)."
Posted Oct 27, 2006
 
Babel (2006)68%
/
 
" As a husband obsessed with porn, Gregg Edelman enacts one of the more interesting instances of masturbation in the history of the cinema."
Posted Oct 12, 2006
 
Little Children (2006)81%
/
 
" The most definitive, most expressive, most imaginative, most thorough, most beautiful cinematic cogitation of romance, ever. And a big middle finger to everyone who disagrees."
Posted Sep 22, 2006
 
The Science of Sleep (2006)69%
/
 
" If you’ve heard anything about this movie, from the floating film festival persiflage to the test and press screening whispers, you know one thing: it climaxes strangely."
Posted Sep 14, 2006
 
The Black Dahlia (2006)34%
/
 
" Director Allen Coulter’s vision does the real Hollywood of that time justice, bequeathing a gauche garishness to the landscape and a guttural voice to the interiors."
Posted Sep 8, 2006
 
Hollywoodland (2006)69%
/
 
" Even when you feel the story slipping - which does occur halfway through - Burger rips your eyes away from any possible digressions and averts them back to the movie."
Posted Aug 24, 2006
 
The Illusionist (2006)74%
/
 
" One thing is for sure: Scarlett Johansson has never been worse. And yes, that means worse than The Island."
Posted Jul 27, 2006
 
Scoop (2006)38%
/
 
" I’m not a scientist; I’m not an activist; I’m not a super liberal or a super conservative or political really in any absurd way. I’m a film critic."
Posted Jun 28, 2006
 
Who Killed The Electric Car? (2006)89%
/
 
" Instead of giving us something forceful or poignant, Altman seems to prefer a sort of objective curtain, shrouding the story and the characters."
Posted Jun 9, 2006
 
A Prairie Home Companion (2006)81%
/
 
" While speaking with Millman recently about Peaceful Warrior, the author confirmed that my Chicken Soup Theory had severely plagued the many versions of script."
Posted Jun 1, 2006
 
Peaceful Warrior (2006)24%
/
 
" Let's get one thing straight: I do not like Gael Garcia Bernal."
Posted May 19, 2006
 
The King (2006)54%
/
 
" Forget the media-saturated affectations that surrounded Brokeback Mountain and Crash. The real vicious truth is the state of the American teenager."
Posted Mar 31, 2006
 
Brick (2006)78%
/
 
" Not even half a year since Baumbach’s gem The Squid and the Whale, another film has emerged conveying similar themes of domestic discomfort and disenchantment."
Posted Mar 15, 2006
 
Duck Season (2006)90%
/
 
" McKittrick neglects to realize that his target audience (males, ages 18-25) presumably aren’t interested in seeing or hearing about the male genitalia at any time..."
Posted Feb 7, 2006
 
Waiting... (2005)31%
/
 
" Certainly a nobler attempt in the animated feature genre than the likes of Robots, Shark Tale and Chicken Little. "
Posted Jan 16, 2006
 
Hoodwinked (2006)48%
/
 
" For a much better attempt at this kind of storytelling, make a mental note to some day check out Israeli writer-director Eytan Fox’s Walk on Water."
Posted Dec 30, 2005
 
The Matador (2005)76%
/
 
" While it’s understandable some might appreciate Christmas in the Clouds merely for what it attempts to be, it’s inexplicable to extol the film on that basis alone."
Posted Dec 23, 2005
 
Christmas in the Clouds (2005)69%
/
 
" The standout of this already brilliant bunch of actors is Alexander Siddig, who before this starred in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
Posted Nov 30, 2005
 
Syriana (2005)74%
/
 
" A hodgepodge of uninspired acting, unfocused thematic intentions and flawed storytelling."
Posted Nov 22, 2005
 
The Ice Harvest (2005)46%
/
 
" You know you’re in trouble when a movie arrives in theatres in the fall of 2005 right after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in the fall of 2003."
Posted Nov 3, 2005
 
I Love Your Work (2005)23%
/
 
" It’s a very poor man’s version of Closer, with four characters chopped down to three, and Peter Sarsgaard and Campbell Scott standing in for Clive Owen and Jude Law."
Posted Nov 3, 2005
 
The Dying Gaul (2005)48%
/
 
" Stylistically, Good Night, and Good Luck is a tough film to watch. Thematically, it’s a must-see fall offering."
Posted Oct 6, 2005
 
Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)94%
/
 
" While much of the action is subtle, the impact is as searing and visceral as any film currently in theaters."
Posted Oct 3, 2005
 
Capote (2005)91%
/
 
" The problem with An Unfinished Life is it tries too hard to be the equivalent of Million Dollar Baby, notwithstanding the fact that it was actually made before Clint's opus."
Posted Sep 13, 2005
 
An Unfinished Life (2005)53%
/
 
" The stunts are shamefully executed and lack any depth or significance. The camera angles amount to some of the most uninspiring cinematography in recent years."
Posted Sep 9, 2005
 
The Man (2005)11%
/
 
" The camera achieves striking beauty... Each smile, each tear, each lit cigarette achieves a sort of luminescent stature unmatched by even Wong’s previous films."
Posted Aug 5, 2005
 
2046 (2005)84%
/
 
" Although it aims for Spy Kids and The Incredibles territory, this family entertainment is strictly for those too young to attend the titular institution."
Posted Jul 28, 2005
 
Sky High (2005)72%
/
 
" All told, it’s fair to say The Devil’s Rejects is one of the most disappointing films of the year thus far."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
The Devil's Rejects (2005)54%
/
 
" Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland, possibly sacrificing any hope for financial success, ensures that the film proceeds proportional to the speed of a real-life journey."
Posted Jul 20, 2005
 
The Beautiful Country (2005)75%
/
 
" The level of humanity and truth in Murderball are more breathtaking than any summer-blockbuster special effects."
Posted Jul 10, 2005
 
Murderball (2005)98%
/
 
" As a sheer comedy, The Talent Given Us is head and shoulders above most if not all comedies of 2005 thus far."
