The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
|
"Fortunately, this fable revolves around a role model worth emulating with an intact moral compass and an indomitable spirit of adventure. What a breath of fresh air after that Space Shuttle Commander arrested for attempted murder in an adult diaper." | |

Banished: How Whites Drove Blacks Out of Town in America (2007) |
|
"A heartbreaking documentary which blows the sheets, pardon the expression, off a long-hidden, racist aspect of U.S. history." | |

4/4 |
|
China Blue (2005) |
|
"Just the latest in an invaluable string of eye-opening documentaries designed to make Westerners face the fact that their relatively high standard of living comes at the expense of impoverished, indigenous peoples of the Third World." | |

Côte d'Azur (2004) |
|
"Works well so long as it is approached as a tongue-in-cheek farce as opposed to a plausible melodrama." | |

4/4 |
|
Day Night Day Night (2007) |
|
"Shrouded by a haunting pall which permeates the picture throughout, the movie is more interested in examining the mindset of a maniacal Muslim with her finger on the trigger than with the plight of her potential victims." | |

4/4 |

DOA: Dead or Alive (2007) |
|
"If Corey Yuen believed in truth in advertising, ala Snakes on a Plane, this flick would have a name like Jiggly Babes Kick Butt. The stuff that post-pubescent dreams are made of." | |

Duck (2007) |
|
"Philip Baker Hall throws himself into the role ever so convincingly opposite his anthropomorphized companion in a manner reminiscent of Jimmy Stewart with his imaginary 6-foot tall rabbit in Harvey, and Tom Hanks with Wilson the volleyball in Cast Away." | |

The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007) |
|
"Is this sleaze dressed up as art, or vice-versa? As more and more daring directors opt to push the envelope with similar conversation-provoking pictures, we'll have to let the debate about what could be an emerging cinematic trend continue." | |

Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis (2007) |
|
"Alternately bizarre and inspired, but an appropriate tribute to an uncompromisingly experimental innovator in the field of cinema." | |

3.5/4 |
|
Manufactured Landscapes (2007) |
|
"A powerful picture primarily because it never proselytizes but simple allows its visually-overwhelmed audience to draw its own conclusions about the unconsidered downside of living beyond our ecological means." | |

Palindromes (2005) |

"A bizarre but brilliant headscratcher!" | |
