Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
94% The Triplets of Belleville (2003) " Finding a delicate balance between dystopia and nostalgia, this diaphanous, baroque vision isn't just a disarming trifle: it's genuinely transporting." — PopMatters
Posted Dec 5, 2003
92% School of Rock (2003) " A welcome reminder that studio comedies need not be shoddy, dumbed down, vulgar, and impersonal." — PopMatters
Posted Nov 1, 2003
89% In This World (2003) " The film fits neatly into Winterbottom's eclectic canon." — PopMatters
Posted Oct 17, 2003
96% Little Big Man (1970) " This outraged reconfiguration of an all-American genre may be set in the Wild West, but it's also very much a bulletin of its time." — PopMatters
Posted Aug 30, 2003
87% Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Diary (2003) " Far from gimmicky, it's as personal and unreserved as filmmaking gets." — PopMatters
Posted May 16, 2003
91% The Awful Truth (1937) " As pleasurable as anything a Hollywood studio and the star system ever produced." — PopMatters
Posted Apr 4, 2003
95% The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002) " A fast-moving, fluidly told tale, Eugene Jarecki's documentary certainly will likely inflame Kissinger's ardent cronies. And yet, as one-sided as its story is, the movie also manages a measured disposition." — PopMatters
Posted Oct 11, 2002
88% Vanya on 42nd Street (1995) " It's more than a worthy capper to Malle's brilliant career." — PopMatters
Posted Oct 4, 2002
78% 8 Women (8 Femmes) (2002) " Drop-dead pretty and confidently assembled, it's a shameless, extravagant charmer -- at first. As the movie goes on, it goes deeper, too, until the bleak melancholia that lurks beneath the surface violently breaks through." — PopMatters
Posted Sep 20, 2002
61% Les Destinées (2002) " Death awaits us all, but Assayas, with a humanist's generosity, offers his characters the greatest gift art can give: immortality." — PopMatters
Posted Sep 9, 2002
96% Time Out (L' Emploi du temps) (2002) " Paced like a Chabrol film and just as riveting." — PopMatters
Posted Sep 9, 2002
88% I Am Trying to Break Your Heart - A Film About Wilco (2002) " The movie may suffer from creative anemia, but it has sense enough of its raison d'être, and the performance sequences carry the day." — PopMatters
Posted Aug 23, 2002
92% Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001) " Peralta's product may have the whiff of sell-out, but you may find that you're too busy buying it to care." — PopMatters
