"Aside from all this nonsense, it never loses its John Ford touch." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Sep 4, 2008
 
Cheyenne Autumn (1964)67%
/
 
"People have always been, and always will be, impressed with big movies; this Western was one of the very biggest." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Sep 4, 2008
 
How the West Was Won (1962)85%

"Cool Hand Luke now seems more like a well-made entertainment than any kind of American masterpiece." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Sep 4, 2008
 
Cool Hand Luke (1967)100%

2.5/4
 
"Baby Mama quickly and lazily adopts all the annoying attributes of the usual fare." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Sep 4, 2008
 
Baby Mama (2008)62%
/
 
"Director Bill Melendez concentrates on atmosphere more than anything else; he sets up unrelated jokes, or simply enjoys watching the autumn leaves fall gently to the ground." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Sep 4, 2008
 
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)93%
/
3/4
 
"A fleet-footed, featherweight comedy riddled with cliches, but nonetheless charming and winning." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Sep 4, 2008
 
Ping Pong Playa (2008)64%
/
 
"Oswald, who never graduated past B-movies and television, makes masterful use of the frame, pitting his dark thriller elements against a full-color, widescreen frame." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
A Kiss Before Dying (1956)n/a
/
2.5/4
 
"It's a shame to see such vibrant material treated in such a routine, nostalgic manner, but the energy of the material and especially of the Germs music occasionally rescues the movie from its unimpressive, superficial stretches." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
What We Do Is Secret (2008)44%
/
3/4
 
"Far and away the finest section is the final showdown, smoothly and swiftly shot with excessive violence and gore." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
Sukiyaki Western Django (2008)68%
/
2.5/4
 
"Cheadle comes away unscathed. His commanding performance is the first, best reason to see this." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
Traitor (2008)53%
/
 
"Wilder plays the suspense well, but this movie belongs to Laughton, who makes his every line resonate like music and thunder." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Witness for the Prosecution (1957)100%
/
 
"Even after decades of performing the same songs, the energy never flags." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002)92%
/
 
"Cronenberg makes the most out of the sterile building and creates some memorably shocking images." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Shivers (1975)82%
/
 
"Some of the early imagery... seems to suggest that anything is possible in this "crazy" universe, but the wrap-up is just so aggravatingly bland." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
One Crazy Summer (1986)60%
/
 
"Aside from the zombie classics and taken by itself, Martin is also a kind of masterpiece." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Martin (1978)96%
/
 
"The fifth of Anthony Mann's five Westerns with Jimmy Stewart, The Man from Laramie looks more and more like the best of the lot." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
The Man From Laramie (1955)100%
/
 
"Fassbinder's second film feels rarely moves, but simmers with a kind of rancid, unnamable anger." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Katzelmacher (1969)100%
/
 
"Though it sounds like it ought to have more in the way of exploitation and gore, Romero shoots it straight, hoping his social commentary will carry it. It works superbly." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
The Crazies (1973)58%
/
3.5/4
 
"Downey Jr. steals the film as an actor's actor... it's a totally calculated "great performance," but not necessarily an easy or obvious one." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Tropic Thunder (2008)84%
/
2.5/4
 
"Coogan gets in some funny line readings from time to time, but there's too much emphasis on his likeability for him to be truly funny." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Hamlet 2 (2008)62%
/
2/4
 
"The movie is almost a lot of fun, were it not for the fact that Anderson lacks a knack for clarity and lightness; he shakes the camera too much and cuts so fast that the race becomes a blur." -- Combustible Celluloid

"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
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
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
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
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
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
Man, Woman and the Wall (2008)n/a
/
3/4
 
"Askin's dramatic camera angles are somewhat awkward, but the superb performances and the words eventually win out." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
Trumbo (2008)75%
/
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

/
2/4
 
"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)16%
/
2/4
 
"It's too uninspired to be inspirational." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
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
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
The Clone Wars (2008)20%
/
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
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
Elegy (2008)74%
/
2.5/4
 
"Despite my misgivings I was gleefully, guiltily glad to see them all again." -- Combustible Celluloid

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)63%
/
 
"The result may well be the funniest movie of the year." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
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)54%
/
 
"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
