MOVIE REVIEWS |
|
 |
|
Boy A
It's not considered sophisticated to criticize a film as "depressing" or "not entertaining." Most provincial is the assertion that its subject matter is simply dull.
|
Step Brothers
Is it worth tying yourself up in knots simply to keep from giggling? The film's oafish charm is reasonably infectious, and everyone involved seems to be having a blast.
|
|
| Baghead
In their lo-fi feature debut, the Duplass brothers used naturalistic dialogue and a meandering narrative to bring bracingly authentic emotions to the forefront -- no special effects, A-list stars, or megabucks budget required.
|
|
| The Dark Knight
Believe the hype: The Dark Knight is not only perhaps the best comic-book adaptation ever taken to film, it's also one of the best movies of the year.
|
|
| Garden Party
In Jason Freeland's Garden Party, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and a lot more sex, are important to the motley characters drifting around the Silverlake/Los Feliz area of Los Angeles.
|
|
| Take
It's not that you have to like the characters in a film (or play or novel, for that matter). But you have to at least find them interesting.
|
|
| August
Any fictional character (or, for that matter, real-life person) who is able to make huge sums of money on the basis of a brilliantly cocky self-presentation has an element of interest.
|
|
| Meet Dave
With the Shrek and Dr. Dolittle series and with Daddy Day Care, Eddie Murphy found a brand-new audience and re-ignited his career as this generation's version of Fred MacMurray.
|
|
| Hellboy II: The Golden Army
The world is now dividing into two distinct camps: those who worship at the altar of Guillermo del Toro and those who¿don't.
|
|
| Journey to the Center of the Earth
Recently seen as a brooding hit man in the dark indie film The Air I Breathe, Brendan Fraser plays Trevor in Journey to the Center of the Earth, an update on the science-fiction classic.
