"An honest vocalization of the inchoate discomfort so many Americans on either side of the political divide are feeling." -- Film Experience
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Stop-Loss (2008)65%
/
 
"What's most interesting is the correlations drawn between the diminutive director and the infamous judge who presided over the case like an auteur of the courtroom" -- Film Experience
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)86%
/
 
"Few films this year were as magnificent looking and few as misunderstood." -- Film Experience
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Atonement (2007)83%
/
B-
 
"Funny, sweet and often interesting... but the desperation is so tangible it proves exhausting" -- Film Experience
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)n/a
/
A
 
"It's often incorrectly reduced to a feminist fable, but the scope of Jane Campion's achievement is broader. If anything The Piano is a masterwork of humanism." -- Film Experience
Posted May 15, 2008
 
The Piano (1993)89%
/
B-
 
"a fun night at the movies but unfortunately disposable" -- Film Experience
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
 
"Tim Burton's most focused, alert and satisfying film since Ed Wood" -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 22, 2007
 
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%
/
 
"Things I never expected to see in a major motion picture..." -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)70%
/
 
"Fans of the book may be thrilled to see it come to life but this tentative film demands a tougher minded, more confident sequel." -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
The Golden Compass (2007)41%
/
 
"The macro eye closeup that opens this spectacular film (newly scrubbed and polished) is a perfect statement for the movie, human but abstract: unconnected to a face." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 11, 2007
 
Blade Runner - The Final Cut (1982)97%
/
 
"less cloying and superficial than other movies of its subgenre and directed with true showman's flair." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 11, 2007
 
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)94%
/
 
"the multiple actor gimmick is fascinating to grapple with (as is the movies comparably shape-shifting visual identity) but it leads to an uneven ride" -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 11, 2007
 
I'm Not There (2007)78%
/
 
"If ...Violence was Cronenberg's gift to Viggo Mortensen, unlocking the greatness of the rising star, consider this the actor's return favor. He's mesmerizing." -- Film Experience
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Eastern Promises (2007)88%
/
 
"a bitchy but endearing mix of comedy and melodrama. Norma Shearer holds the chaos together with improbable dignity." -- Film Experience
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
The Women (1939)86%
/
 
"An elaborately perverse buffet served up at a pivotal moment in Hitchcock's career" -- Film Experience
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
Rope (1948)97%
/
 
"A coming of age fable for both Disney and the mermaid heroine" -- Film Experience
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
The Little Mermaid (1989)86%
/
 
"Kooky abandon and unembarassed chutzpah make it a movie nobody dared to love" -- Film Experience
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
Xanadu (1980)41%
/
 
"Good morning Moviegoers. Each new Hairspray's an open door. Each new "Tracy" a fantasy Each new version a symphony" -- Film Experience
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
Hairspray (2007)91%
/
 
"My compliments to the chef Brad Bird. This writer/director has one of the best young filmographies in the world." -- Film Experience
Posted Jul 3, 2007
 
Ratatouille (2007)95%
/
 
"The best thing about it is the very thing that's most potentially maddening to moviegoers. Movies and TV offer US a steady diet of reductive emotional sensationalism but this one, like its protagonist, keeps a cool head even in horrific situations." -- Film Experience
Posted Jun 29, 2007
 
A Mighty Heart (2007)77%
/
A-
 
"Once owes its genuine immediacy to the blessed decision to capture its musicians in the flush of actual performance." -- Film Experience
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Once (2007)97%
/
B-
 
"doesn't add anything new to its routine equation but a hundred and thirteen minutes pass swiftly and fourteen actors have a good time -- an enjoyable, disposable lark" -- Film Experience
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)70%
/
 
"Problematic at the center, but there's still pleasure to be had in watching the actresses navigate the emotional terrain." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 20, 2006
 
Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
 
"Thoroughly entertaining, the competing character agendas are realized superbly by a cohesive ensemble." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 20, 2006
 
The Departed (2006)92%
/
 
"Frustrating but fascinating, with moments that refuse to be shrugged off" -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 20, 2006
 
The Black Dahlia (2006)35%
/
A
 
"With its wide vistas and sparse population of perfectly realized characters Brokeback Mountain manages to be both epic and intimate..." -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 1, 2005
 
Brokeback Mountain (2005)87%
/
 
"For a film this potentially dry, it speeds along at an absorbing clip. David Strathairn is excellent." -- CineScene.com
Posted Nov 22, 2005
 
Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)94%
/
 
"Giggle inducing with a few truly high quality guffaws. In terms of silly joy, it's hard to beat." -- CineScene.com
Posted Nov 22, 2005
 
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)95%
/
 
"After the bloated hit-and-miss feel of many of Burton's recent live-action work it is a joy to experience this throwback to the glory days." -- CineScene.com
Posted Nov 22, 2005
 
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)84%
/
 
"A firebomb heaved at the short-term thinking of amoral US interference in global affairs, but as a film it lacks clarity and fires in too many directions at once." -- CineScene.com
Posted Nov 22, 2005
 
Syriana (2005)74%
/
A
 
"David Cronenberg's amazingly assured direction is never forced or unclear despite constantly shifting ground and complicated agendas..." -- Film Experience
Posted Sep 26, 2005
 
A History of Violence (2005)87%
/
B
 
"Though the narrative is very narrowly focused --I was happy to have basked in arctic cuteness for 80 minutes." -- Film Experience
Posted Aug 25, 2005
 
March of the Penguins (2005)94%
/
B-
 
"Stubbornly devoted to Wes Anderson's precociously detailed and miniature worldview but still one-of-a-kind." -- Film Experience
Posted Jan 3, 2005
 
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)51%
/
 
"Scorsese and DiCaprio's dynamism proves a good fit for Hughes. It's a trio made in heaven. Or rather a quartet if you throw in the double-plus-goodness of Cate as Kate..." -- Film Experience
Posted Jan 3, 2005
 
The Aviator (2004)88%
/
B+
 
"Director Mike Nichols isn't shy about stylization and this play turned film which characterizes the heart as a 'fist covered in blood' needs that vote of confidence." -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 27, 2004
 
Closer (2004)69%
/
 
"For a movie bathed in chiaroscuro cinematography, the darkness is strictly external. These three characters are filled with light." -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 27, 2004
 
Million Dollar Baby (2004)91%
/
B+
 
"From the beauteous Bernal to the deep color and frames within frames, this gay melodrama / noir / mystery is a special mix." -- Film Experience
Posted Nov 30, 2004
 
Bad Education (2004)88%
/
B
 
"Light as a feather but a leisurely and pleasurable romp nonetheless. Annette Bening is grand." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 18, 2004
 
Being Julia (2004)76%
/
A-
 
"Vera Drakefeatures beautifully modest storytelling that's honest in pacing and tone and embarrassingly rich in detail." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 18, 2004
 
Vera Drake (2004)92%
/
B-
 
"The true joy of this indie stems from the well observed friendship between Gypsy and her Goth plaything, Clive. The chemistry between the two young actors is near-wondrous. " -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 15, 2004
 
Gypsy 83 (2001)54%
/
B-
 
"...extremely well-played in individual scenes. But much of the film feels counterintuitive to the general thrust of the narrative. " -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 15, 2004
 
The Mother (2004)78%
/
B
 
"rich with rarely seen moral gray areas. The characters may not be likeable, but at least they have actual human depth." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 15, 2004
 
The Door in the Floor (2004)66%
/
 
"This time out the spell that's cast is actually a potent one. Cuaron's talent is the magical ingredient in this concoction. " -- Film Experience
Posted Jul 7, 2004
 
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)89%
/
 
"For those who never had the privilege of witnessing one of the great theatrical events of the 20th century, HBO Films kindly fills them in after the fact." -- Film Experience

Angels in America (2003)82%
/
 
"Too precious, perhaps, but there's no denying that it has a magical sweetness." -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 18, 2003
 
In America (2003)89%
/
 
"Though its disappointing to see the singular Burton shoehorning his wierd gifts into such traditional drama, the film has many oddball wonders" -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 18, 2003
 
Big Fish (2003)76%
/
 
"Van Sant's director of photography, Harris Savides, who also made Gerry such a hypnotic experience, works even greater wonders in Elephant." -- Film Experience
Posted Dec 18, 2003
 
Elephant (2003)71%
/
 
"Some marvelous individual scenes overcome Sayles occasional overplayed hand. Casa proves to be a sad and delicately wrought gem." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 3, 2003
 
Casa de los Babys (2003)60%
/
 
"Far more vital than Allen's last few pictures, Anything Else should serve as lifesaving tourniquet; It's no cure for wounded fans but it'll stop the bleeding." -- Film Experience
Posted Oct 3, 2003
 
Anything Else (2003)41%
/
 
"Ang Lee has exteriorized shamelessly; The film is practically inside-out with armchair psychology." -- Film Experience
