"Opening with a bravura wedding sequence and ending with a sycophantic bow to a replaced telephone receiver, the film has its longueurs, but Mifune's buttoned-down avenger is a compelling portrait of righteous obsession foundering on unpredictable reality."
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
The Bad Sleep Well (1960)100%
/
 
"Number derives sleek hysteria from its audaciously constraining narrative strategy."
Posted Jan 2, 2008
 
Sorry, Wrong Number (1948)90%
/
 
"Superbly acted (especially by bone-thin Farrow and Ruth Gordon as the ultimate neighbor from hell), it’s a satantango in the land of Is-this-real-or-am-I-crazy?, with a luridly literal ending that doesn’t negate the previous, more interior terrors."
Posted Sep 19, 2007
 
Rosemary's Baby (1968)98%
/
 
"It's an astringently cynical take on official history, with Warren Beatty as a muckraker investigating the strange aftershocks of a senator's killing."
Posted Jun 7, 2007
 
The Parallax View (1974)91%
/
 
"Enthusiastically scored to the titular quiet storms, ersatz c&w, and hip-hop textures, the anti-rockist Slow Jam King is more fun to listen to than watch..."
Posted Jun 6, 2006
 
Slow Jam King (2004)n/a
/
 
"Nathalie is intricate, provocative, cleanly acted, but it's never entirely convincing -- and never more so than in the table-turning climax."
Posted Apr 11, 2006
 
Nathalie (2003)73%
/
 
"A gratifying playground of high-wire language."
Posted Mar 7, 2006
 
Game 6 (2006)59%
/
 
"Syd's emotional tailspin is embarrassingly banal, and his assertion that 'everybody here hates me' quickly applies to the audience as well."
Posted Feb 7, 2006
 
London (2006)14%
/
 
"Irredeemably dull."
Posted Dec 20, 2005
 
White Countess (2005)51%
/
 
"To this viewer and reader, the decade-old juggernaut is as deeply felt as it is flawed, dense and illogical and laudably weird."
Posted Nov 15, 2005
 
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)89%
/
 
"A whimsical success of a very high order: The pace never lags, the invention is incessant, and it makes you want to have a bite of cheese afterward."
Posted Oct 4, 2005
 
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)96%
/
 
"We're going to trot out the mandatory one-word Beatles-album-derived closer: Help!"
Posted Sep 27, 2005
 
The Rodnees: We Mod Like Dat! (2005)n/a
/
 
"The Baxter nods to better-behaved comedies of the past."
Posted Aug 23, 2005
 
The Baxter (2005)30%
/
 
"One leaves the film with the Twilight Zone sense that the place isn't quite the hellhole prior reports have suggested."
Posted Aug 9, 2005
 
A State of Mind (2005)93%
/
 
"Ralph Walker is no Max Fischer, and his monomania gets dull fast."
Posted Aug 2, 2005
 
Saint Ralph (2005)62%
/
 
"Though the film lacks some of the paper incarnation's subtlety, Dai's infidelity to his own text keeps things interesting."
Posted Jul 26, 2005
 
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005)78%
/
 
"Fun and nourishing, Charlie's the topsy-turvy equivalent of a three-course dinner in a single stick of gum."

Evergreen (2004)44%

"Patient and fascinated, but never succumbing to abstraction."
Posted Jun 14, 2005
 
Wheel of Time (2005)94%
/
 
"The multiple story lines can feel choppy, but the dialogue has snap, and the pants' powers never distract from the teenagers' emotions."
Posted May 31, 2005
 
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)76%
/
 
"Despite a fairly explicit lesbian boobfest (projected attendance just went up!), the film is more good-natured than provocative."
Posted May 24, 2005
 
Saving Face (2005)86%
/
 
"The amped-up Dickian scenario features too many frame-filling fireballs."
Posted May 17, 2005
 
2009: Lost Memories (2005)33%
/
 
"The change in tone, from swiftly destabilizing drama to outright fantasy, feels less like Kim provocatively switching gears, and more like he's painted himself into a corner."
Posted Apr 26, 2005
 
3-Iron (2005)87%
/
 
"Marred by a rambling voice-over at one end and a pat therapeutic resolution on the other, the film has a nice half-hour patch somewhere in the middle."
Posted Apr 12, 2005
 
House of D (2005)10%
/
 
"The let's-travel-through-the-TV-screen sequence was better in Fat Albert."
Posted Mar 22, 2005
 
The Ring Two (2005)20%
/
 
"Feels contrived."
Posted Mar 7, 2005
 
Millions (2005)88%
/
 
"Bigger lopes along endlessly, a no-surprises foray into backstage high jinks and the notion of life as the best acting coach there is."
Posted Feb 22, 2005
 
Bigger Than the Sky (2005)13%
/
 
"Most of the action is tedious, and the less you pay attention to the dialogue, the less you'll feel your hand inadvertently twitching as if with joystick."
Posted Feb 15, 2005
 
Sky Blue (2005)55%
/
 
"Several sharp jolts give the doc its dramatic shape, and one episode in particular, caught with a neighbor's lens, will make you gasp with grief."
Posted Feb 8, 2005
 
Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2005)95%
/
 
"Vigorously pushes the supernatural line throughout, but unfortunately its final movement is so incoherent that the whole thing collapses."
Posted Jan 11, 2005
 
White Noise (2005)8%
/
 
"Exasperating Southern-lit seminar."
Posted Dec 28, 2004
 
A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004)42%
/
 
"The overall approach is to throw preordained movie sequences (rap number, shopping spree) together and hope for the best."
Posted Dec 21, 2004
 
Fat Albert (2004)21%
/
 
"Jessica Yu's elegant new doc In the Realms of the Unreal is a spry, creative response to his oceanic talent and claustrophobic life."
Posted Dec 21, 2004
 
In the Realms of the Unreal (2004)72%
/
 
"So true to its title that I've forgotten many of the details already -- and I just saw it this morning."
Posted Nov 30, 2004
 
AmnesiA (2004)n/a
/
 
"National Treasure gets more entertaining as the preposterousness rises."
Posted Nov 23, 2004
 
National Treasure (2004)43%

"Could SpongeBob, all gangly goodwill and ice cream appetite, be the anarchic savior for our stressed-out times?"
Posted Nov 23, 2004
 
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)69%
/
 
"Chad Friedrichs's doc has too many rock-crit talking heads, too often saying the same thing based on scant information -- a clumsy portrait of the artist that inadvertently serves as a mirror of the critical faculty itself."
Posted Nov 16, 2004
 
Jandek - Jandek on Corwood (2004)89%
/
 
"Unnervingly smooth, mouths moving in strange, even frightening formations, the Polar people are the least convincing things on-screen, glaring impostors amid the otherwise painstakingly rendered scenery."
Posted Nov 9, 2004
 
The Polar Express (2004)56%
/
 
"Razor-walking self-consciousness (or just plain braininess) is perhaps impossible to depict coherently on-screen, and the someone's-watching-me vibe is otherwise overfamiliar to moviegoers."
Posted Oct 26, 2004
 
Enduring Love (2004)59%
/
 
"Styles range from cabaret to barbershop to toe-tapping bubblegum, and the rainy-day serenade at the start nods Cherbourgward, with a soupçon of Low Countries sass."
Posted Oct 26, 2004
 
Yes Nurse! No Nurse! (2004)50%
/
 
"Stella Street goes from can-I-laugh- yet? to wanna-go- home in about three minutes."
Posted Oct 20, 2004
 
Stella Street (2003)12%
/
 
"E J-Yong's transposition illuminates, with satisfying crispness, the hyper-Confucian high society of the time, as well as the underground Catholic movement."
Posted Oct 12, 2004
 
Untold Scandal (2003)89%
/
 
"The filmmakers don't have enough faith in the world they've created."
Posted Sep 28, 2004
 
Shark Tale (2004)34%
/
 
"His nostalgia enabled by technology, Conran takes the ghosts in his machine seriously, and the results appear at once meltingly lovely and intriguingly inhuman."
Posted Sep 21, 2004
 
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)73%
/
 
"I remember best [Gilda's] mutable hair, which went from a bob to a wave to a longish Angelina Jolie coif."
Posted Sep 14, 2004
 
Head in the Clouds (2004)15%
/
 
"Though the acting is tentative at times, with performances not quite landing on the same page, Evergreen is a compassionate slice of Pacific Northwest misery."
Posted Sep 7, 2004
 
Evergreen (2004)44%
/
 
"In the rare moments when a rifle, grenade, howitzer, bayonet, dagger, fist, land mine, or flamethrower isn't being deployed, the film pushes its melodramatic plotline with soap operatic shamelessness."
Posted Aug 31, 2004
 
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004)80%
/
 
"Scenes end abruptly, laughs are as rare as yetis, and the overarching question seems to be: Can we turn this into a franchise?"
Posted Aug 17, 2004
