You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) 46% 3/4 EDIT “At once a cynical examination of infidelity and a sweet love story that rewards good people, Stranger is thoroughly entertaining ... and Allen's best film since Crimes and Misdemeanors.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 7, 2010 Full Review I'm Still Here (2010) 53% 1/4 EDIT “Since Phoenix spends half the film with his head down, mumbling and shirtless, I'm Still Here is literally (and figuratively) an exercise in navel-gazing.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 9, 2010 Full Review Art & Copy (2009) 57% EDIT “Art & Copy offers an intriguing -- some might say frightening -- glimpse into the world that has prompted a generation of Americans to religiously tune into the Super Bowl just to watch those short movies that sell product.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 5, 2009 Full Review Made in China (2009) 43% 1/4 EDIT “Chandni Chowk to China supposedly is the 'the first-ever Bollywood kung-fu comedy,' which makes me pray fervently that it will also be the last.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 15, 2009 Full Review Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer (2007) 100% 4/4 EDIT “The incomparable songbird is finally given her due in one of the greatest music documentaries I've ever seen.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes (2008) 1.5/4 EDIT “The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes is an utterly pedantic TV documentary inexplicably given life on the big screen.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 30, 2008 Full Review The Prince Contemplating His Soul (2005) 58% 2/4 EDIT “It is neither engaging nor enlightening.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 11, 2008 Full Review Explicit Ills (2008) 54% 3/4 EDIT “It's the best reflection of inner city life, and its effect on children, since Charles Burnett's 1977 drama Killer of Sheep.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 28, 2008 Full Review Brick Lane (2007) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “As the plot unfolds, it becomes apparent that director Sarah Gavron also finds attractive people more sympathetic, and this is Brick Lane's undoing.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jul 11, 2008 Full Review Bigger, Stronger, Faster (2008) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “Bigger, Stronger, Faster* is that rare film that truly challenges its audience.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jun 6, 2008 Full Review A Plumm Summer (2007) 20% 0/4 EDIT “This might be palatable if it weren't also fraught with leaden direction and horrible acting -- it's a painful thing when William Baldwin's the best actor you've got.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 25, 2008 Full Review Bitter Sweetheart (2007) 3.5/4 EDIT “Eschewing the usual teen clichs and filled with a wonderful cast of young actors, Bitter Sweetheart is a gem whose honesty makes Juno seem positively prudish.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 17, 2008 Full Review Under the Same Moon (2007) 71% 3/4 EDIT “Under the Same Moon, despite some mature themes, is fine family entertainment. It is a crowd pleaser in the best sense of the word, compelling, humorous and profoundly moving.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 3, 2008 Full Review Nim's Island (2008) 51% 1/4 EDIT “A slapdash amalgam of competing visual and storytelling styles, bizarre acting, egregious product placement (particularly for National Geographic) and negative stereotypes.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 3, 2008 Full Review African Adventure: Safari in the Okavango (2007) 3/4 EDIT “African Adventure 3D: Safari in the Okavango is ostensibly yet another eye-popping Imax travelogue, but much to my surprise it's also a treatise on how to make movies.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 20, 2008 Full Review Paranoid Park (2007) 76% 2/4 EDIT “Alex goes to school, has a girlfriend, eats junk food ... and is almost as much of a zombie as anything George A. Romero has ever conjured up. Only less appealing.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 20, 2008 Full Review
