Posted Feb 21, 2006
11% The Tollbooth (2006) " The question of whether Sarabeth will make it as a big-city artist is less fascinating than wondering when she'll discover that her art is terrible." — Village Voice
Posted Jan 31, 2006
75% Zathura (2005) " Let's play Jumanji! No, let's not, but say we did -- in space!" — Village Voice
Posted Nov 8, 2005
24% G (2005) " No green light but the one mistakenly given to start production." — Village Voice
Posted Nov 1, 2005
—— Life, Translated (2005) " Kiefer Liu's eccentric bit of teen sigh candy is veined with enough chewy oddities to give it texture, but its sappy center isn't sustainable over 100 minutes." — Village Voice
Posted Oct 7, 2005
0% Into the Fire (2005) " If there's an element of Into the Fire that isn't rank and offensive, I've failed to find it." — Village Voice
Posted Sep 20, 2005
0% Human Error (2005) " Watch it with your eyes closed." — Village Voice
Posted Sep 13, 2005
46% Green Street Hooligans (2005) " Hooligans loses the plot late though -- in the filmic and Brit-speak sense -- revealing Hollywood, not hooligan, roots." — Village Voice
Posted Sep 6, 2005
38% Margaret Cho: Assassin (2005) " Her embrace of controversial political topics might be welcome if her jokes weren't so predictable." — Village Voice
Posted Aug 30, 2005
13% The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) " Prepare to witness an amazing feat of filmmaking: Shocked and delighted will you be to see real Hollywood actors and real musicians outperformed by your favorite inanimate objects!" — Village Voice
Posted Aug 2, 2005
22% The War on the War on Drugs (2002) " Ineptitude is so thorough here that War on . . . could only make sense as a sinister governmental smear campaign to justify the war on drugs and total sobriety." — Village Voice
Posted Jun 22, 2005
—— Red Passport (2003) " I'm in jail. Whoops! Now I'm not." — Village Voice
Posted May 10, 2005
16% xXx: State of the Union (2005) " Explosions abound, along with expository dialogue and a ham-tastic triad of performances from Sam Jackson, Willem Dafoe, and Peter Strauss." — Village Voice
Posted May 3, 2005
2% King's Ransom (2005) " Little in this film suggests 'director' Jeff Byrd and writer Wayne Conley possess any facility -- or familiarity -- with irony or any other comedic device." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 26, 2005
43% Guess Who (2005) " The film is predictable and its humor is tension free." — Village Voice
Posted Mar 29, 2005
50% Naked Fame (2005) " There are many dreadful elements in this chronicle of aging gay male porn star Colton Ford's quest for crossover success in the music industry: sub-amateurish camera work, a maddeningly repetitive score, and a listless narrative." — Village Voice
Posted Mar 22, 2005
50% With Friends Like These (1998) " Plot and characterization are drawn strictly off the rack." — Village Voice
Posted Feb 22, 2005
76% Assisted Living (2005) " The problem with Greenebaum's approach is that in courting the confusion between real and constructed realities, he allows our emotional response to become similarly confused." — Village Voice
Posted Feb 2, 2005
62% ATL (2006) " It unpretentiously serves class consciousness and conflict with its Cadillac music, attempting to capture -- not capitalize on -- the Atlanta scene that's spawned an aesthetic and a mythology all its own." — Village Voice
Posted Mar 28, 2006
82% Illuzija (Mirage) (2006) " Marko's story is far from novel, but its wicked evocation of hopelessness transcends any familiarities." — Village Voice
Posted Mar 14, 2006
69% Curious George (2006) " Misanthropic toddlers will be rolling in the aisles." — Village Voice
Posted Feb 7, 2006
32% Tristan & Isolde (2006) " I dub thee tolerable." — Village Voice
Posted Jan 17, 2006
80% El Carro (2003) " First-timer Luis Orjuela paint-rollers on soupy layers of humor and emotion while mixing in measured shots of class commentary." — Village Voice
Posted Jan 3, 2006
58% The Dark Hours (Head Games) (2005) " [A] taut '70s throwback thriller." — Village Voice
Posted Oct 11, 2005
—— Santo Domingo Blues (2005) " Wolfe's anecdotal musicology succeeds precisely because of its bare-bones, bawdy yet beautiful approach -- just like the music Vargas makes." — Village Voice
Posted Sep 27, 2005
72% Crónicas (2005) " Oscillating between furor and languor, rage and repose, Crónicas mixes ethnography with media critique." — Village Voice
Posted Jul 6, 2005
92% Waging a Living (2005) " Weisberg, whose stripped-down style seems refreshing amid the current spate of super-produced docs, gives you what you want, if what you want are dismally deferred American Dreams and harsh economic realities. And you should." — Village Voice
Posted Jun 22, 2005
57% Après vous (After You) (2003) " As genre fare, Après Vous is saved by its irresistibly sympathetic performances." — Village Voice
Posted May 31, 2005
32% Bomb the System (2003) " A needlessly circuitous plot twist leaves a bitter taste, but not before the film's scruffy charm does its work." — Village Voice
Posted May 24, 2005
47% Death of a Dynasty (2003) " In Dynasty, even caricature becomes commodity." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 26, 2005
57% Perlasca: The Courage of a Just Man (Perlasca. Un eroe italiano) (2005) " More courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 12, 2005
87% The Letter: An American Town and the 'Somali Invasion' (2005) " Hamzeh's film eschews voice-over to allow the more despicable characters to embarrass themselves with their ludicrously foolish invective." — Village Voice
