The Bad Sleep Well (1960) 100% EDIT “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.” – Village Voice Jun 19, 2008 Full Review Sorry, Wrong Number (1948) 86% EDIT “Number derives sleek hysteria from its audaciously constraining narrative strategy.” – Village Voice Jan 2, 2008 Full Review Rosemary's Baby (1968) 97% EDIT “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.” – Village Voice Sep 19, 2007 Full Review The Parallax View (1974) 87% EDIT “It's an astringently cynical take on official history, with Warren Beatty as a muckraker investigating the strange aftershocks of a senator's killing.” – Village Voice Jun 7, 2007 Full Review Slow Jam King (2004) EDIT “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...” – Village Voice Jun 6, 2006 Full Review Nathalie... (2003) 70% EDIT “Nathalie is intricate, provocative, cleanly acted, but it's never entirely convincing -- and never more so than in the table-turning climax.” – Village Voice Apr 11, 2006 Full Review Game 6 (2005) 62% EDIT “A gratifying playground of high-wire language.” – Village Voice Mar 7, 2006 Full Review London (2005) 14% EDIT “Syd's emotional tailspin is embarrassingly banal, and his assertion that 'everybody here hates me' quickly applies to the audience as well.” – Village Voice Feb 7, 2006 Full Review The White Countess (2005) 51% EDIT “Irredeemably dull.” – Village Voice Dec 20, 2005 Full Review Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) 88% EDIT “To this viewer and reader, the decade-old juggernaut is as deeply felt as it is flawed, dense and illogical and laudably weird.” – Village Voice Nov 15, 2005 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) 95% EDIT “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.” – Village Voice Oct 4, 2005 Full Review Rodnees: We Mod Like Dat! (2005) EDIT “We're going to trot out the mandatory one-word Beatles-album-derived closer: Help!” – Village Voice Sep 27, 2005 Full Review The Baxter (2005) 32% EDIT “The Baxter nods to better-behaved comedies of the past.” – Village Voice Aug 23, 2005 Full Review A State of Mind (2004) 89% EDIT “One leaves the film with the Twilight Zone sense that the place isn't quite the hellhole prior reports have suggested.” – Village Voice Aug 9, 2005 Full Review Saint Ralph (2004) 65% EDIT “Ralph Walker is no Max Fischer, and his monomania gets dull fast.” – Village Voice Aug 2, 2005 Full Review The Little Chinese Seamstress (2002) 77% EDIT “Though the film lacks some of the paper incarnation's subtlety, Dai's infidelity to his own text keeps things interesting.” – Village Voice Jul 26, 2005 Full Review Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) 83% EDIT “Fun and nourishing, Charlie's the topsy-turvy equivalent of a three-course dinner in a single stick of gum.” – Village Voice Jul 12, 2005 Full Review Wheel of Time (2003) 94% EDIT “Patient and fascinated, but never succumbing to abstraction.” – Village Voice Jun 14, 2005 Full Review The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) 82% EDIT “The multiple story lines can feel choppy, but the dialogue has snap, and the pants' powers never distract from the teenagers' emotions.” – Village Voice May 31, 2005 Full Review Saving Face (2004) 88% EDIT “Despite a fairly explicit lesbian boobfest (projected attendance just went up!), the film is more good-natured than provocative.” – Village Voice May 24, 2005 Full Review 2009: Lost Memories (2002) 43% EDIT “The amped-up Dickian scenario features too many frame-filling fireballs.” – Village Voice May 17, 2005 Full Review 3-Iron (2004) 87% EDIT “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.” – Village Voice Apr 26, 2005 Full Review House of D (2004) 10% EDIT “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.” – Village Voice Apr 12, 2005 Full Review The Ring Two (2005) 21% EDIT “The let's-travel-through-the-TV-screen sequence was better in Fat Albert.” – Village Voice Mar 22, 2005 Full Review Millions (2004) 87% EDIT “Feels contrived.” – Village Voice Mar 7, 2005 Full Review
