"It's great to see the return of Hellman, even if this film's pathetic theatrical release and dismal reception make it unlikely we'll see much more of him anytime soon." -- Combustible Celluloid

Trapped Ashes (2006)40%

"Filmmaker Susan Dynner finally turns in the punk music documentary we all deserve, and one that punks can finally relate to." -- Combustible Celluloid

Punk's Not Dead (2007)89%

"Something akin to a "nudie cutie" from the old days, a softcore male fantasy movie, but a cheerful and spirited one." -- Combustible Celluloid

Man, Woman and the Wall (2008)n/a

"Askin's dramatic camera angles are somewhat awkward, but the superb performances and the words eventually win out." -- Combustible Celluloid

Trumbo (2008)76%

3.5/4
 
"The superb jazz documentary Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer is blessed with lengthy sit-down interviews with the singer herself." -- Combustible Celluloid

"These flies drift lethargically from place to place, and the movie bogs down in their lackadaisical pace." -- Combustible Celluloid

Fly Me To The Moon (2008)17%

"It's too uninspired to be inspirational." -- Combustible Celluloid

Henry Poole Is Here (2008)37%

2.5/4
 
"The crisp pacing offers a surprising low-key charm, and the characters even look a bit like hand-crafted, hand-painted wood!" -- Combustible Celluloid

The Clone Wars (2008)18%

4/4
 
"With Vicky Cristina Barcelona the 72 year-old Allen comes ever closer to Ozu's territory, finding a kind of serenity in the acceptance of life's inevitable disappointments." -- Combustible Celluloid

"Kingsley and Cruz both turn in grand-slam performances, especially Cruz with her ability to appear as if she's actually thinking and responding organically to each situation." -- Combustible Celluloid

Elegy (2008)71%

"Despite my misgivings I was gleefully, guiltily glad to see them all again." -- Combustible Celluloid

"The result may well be the funniest movie of the year." -- Combustible Celluloid

Pineapple Express (2008)68%

"Wilder justifies this film's length (144 minutes) with its loving, carefree and even relaxing Italian vacation atmosphere." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Avanti! (1972)80%
/
 
"Director Stephen Sommers has a kind of soulless, leaden touch, with none of the sleek, sprightly fun this kind of movie requires." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
The Mummy (1999)53%
/
 
"These obvious elements of melodrama never reach any kind of hysterical pitch, however. Hou keeps everything wrapped up in a tone of warmth and childlike optimism." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 31, 2008
 
A Summer at Grandpa's (1984)n/a
/
 
"It plays more like an industrial video shown to businessmen in boardrooms, without a shred of personality." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 31, 2008
 
Senator Obama Goes to Africa (2007)n/a
/
 
"This impressive filmed record of the 1960 presidential primary documents the showdown between Hubert Humphrey and John F. Kennedy as if it were still a contest." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 31, 2008
 
Primary (1960)n/a
/
 
"Director Fred Olen Ray will never be confused with his namesakes Nicholas and Satyajit, but once upon a time he made a pretty entertaining B-movie, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 31, 2008
 
Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1987)n/a
/
 
"The basic concept is ludicrous, but the execution is terrific." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 31, 2008
 
The Sorcerers (1967)n/a
/
3.5/4
 
"The movie has an undeniable emotional punch and its historical place in cinema is undisputable (there's still nothing else quite like it)." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 31, 2008
 
The Exiles (1961)89%
/
3/4
 
"Mark and Jay Duplass (The Puffy Chair) once again show how you can make a good, cheap movie with a good idea, some strong characters and one, simple visual motif." -- Combustible Celluloid

Baghead (2008)82%

"This 2-disc DVD set is advertised as a kind of primer for the upcoming movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
X-Files Revelations (1995)n/a
/
 
"It is a good movie. It's a great movie, in fact, one of the greatest of all movies." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Satantango (1994)100%
/
 
"Tavernier's striking widescreen frame established the rainy, neon-and-smoke filled world of the jazz film." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Round Midnight (1986)100%
/
2.5/4
 
"I found myself occasionally enthralled, mainly due to Polanski's haunted presence coming through, even in the form of an absent ghost." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)86%
/
3.5/4
 
"Maddin's weird, beautiful, funny and entertaining look at his hometown is probably about as personal and revealing as he's ever likely to get." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
My Winnipeg (2008)97%
/
3.5/4
 
"The film avoids discussing politics directly, and instead discusses the right to discuss politics." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
CSNY Déjà Vu (2008)63%
/
3/4
 
"Yet another inspired attempt to mine his particular brand of repressed juvenile humor, but this time [Ferrell] goes a little further with a sly commentary on the elusive definition of "growing up."" -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)50%
/
2.5/4
 
"[The] thrill is gone, but we shouldn't discount the place for epilogues and endings in pop culture." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)33%
/
 
"Admittedly, it doesn't have many belly laughs, but if you're tuned into Waters' peculiar, highly intelligent comedy style it's a fascinating watch." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Sex and Death 101 (2008)27%
/
 
"The amazing Deschanel once again proves her astonishing ability to exist comfortably within a scene, as well as slightly above it." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Flakes (2007)25%
/
2.5/4
 
"Crosses big gross-out shock scenes with more in-the-know jokes about terrorists and nutrition, without ever realizing or acknowledging this chasm. I wish it had been a little smarter -- or dumber." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Poultrygeist (2008)68%
/
2.5/4
 
"Elsa is obsessed with the "Fontana di Trevi" sequence from La Dolce Vita, but that's only a reminder that the aging Fellini once accomplished far more effective films about old age and second chances." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Elsa & Fred (2008)52%
/
3/4
 
"It's a simple-looking film with a complicated center. But there's a kind of sadness in the film that remains untapped, perhaps because Pierre himself isn't ready for it." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Before I Forget (2008)88%
/
3/4
 
"Even if you've seen lots of movies of this type and can figure out exactly what's going to happen, Anderson takes great pleasure in the pure form and execution of it." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Transsiberian (2008)90%
/
2/4
 
"The animation looks unfinished, with a kind of lifeless mechanical sheen replacing actual textures." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Space Chimps (2008)33%
/
 
"Lloyd's film has no shape or tone; it swings wildly from sunny, haphazard scenes that play like outtakes, to higher-pitched, shrieking, hysterical scenes." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Mamma Mia! (2008)54%
/
3.5/4
 
"I loved The Dark Knight... It's unbelievably dark and uncompromised; it's the film noir we deserve for our terrifying 21st century." -- Combustible Celluloid

The Kid Brother (1927)n/a
/
 
"Has a lot of great looking action, but it moves awfully fast and the comedy and acting is very, very broad" -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Eagle Shooting Heroes (1993)n/a
/
 
"Of [Mann's] various transitional films, none is more consistently fascinating or misunderstood than the masterpiece The Furies." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
The Furies (1950)n/a
/
2/4
 
"A bit like Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993), taking a look at a cross-section of Los Angeles characters, though it runs less than half the length and, conversely, half the depth." -- Combustible Celluloid
