The Goebbels Experiment (2005) 95% EDIT “A fascinating film that provides new insights into Goebbels' personality” – culturevulture.net Aug 10, 2005 Full Review Videodrome (1983) 83% EDIT “By the time it reaches its...inevitable-feeling conclusion, 'Videodrome' has become more than a mere horror film--it's an indictment of everyone represented by its characters.” – culturevulture.net Sep 29, 2004 Full Review Lancelot of the Lake (1974) 96% EDIT “Bresson strips away frippery to such an extent that it should be a coma-inducing slog, but it's not.” – culturevulture.net Jul 14, 2004 Full Review Pickup on South Street (1953) 93% EDIT “Fuller [took] genuine chances, [creating] moments of power unequaled by many more respectable directors.” – culturevulture.net Apr 12, 2004 Full Review William S. Burroughs - Commissioner of Sewers (1991) EDIT “His writing is ill-served by the clips of him reading it, and the interview segments, while occasionally illuminating...don't do much to explain why anyone should care.” – culturevulture.net Feb 17, 2004 Full Review To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) 89% EDIT “Action set-pieces are brilliantly blocked and shot, but never to the detriment of the unnerving unspooling of the universally unsavory cast of characters.” – culturevulture.net Dec 8, 2003 Full Review I.K.U. (2001) EDIT “It's as if the producers were ashamed of what they were up to, and thought they could disguise it by blanketing the thing with the trappings of science fiction.” – culturevulture.net Aug 5, 2002 Full Review Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (1973) 73% EDIT “It's just a really good rock concert. In 1973, that was enough.” – culturevulture.net Jul 9, 2002 Full Review Silent Running (1972) 71% EDIT “As a time-capsule, it's mildly diverting; as farce, it's terrific; as a parable, it's utterly useless.” – culturevulture.net Nov 21, 2001 Full Review The Fluffer (2001) 49% EDIT “The whole package would have played better if the movie had bothered answering some of the questions it delicately raises.” – culturevulture.net Nov 13, 2001 Full Review Town Bloody Hall (1980) 100% EDIT “An interesting film, not only for those who watch C-SPAN for kicks.” – culturevulture.net Nov 12, 2001 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “The movie's heart is cold and blackened, not only by the tragedies which befall its characters but by an all-consuming fatalism and futility.” – culturevulture.net Nov 5, 2001 Full Review Things Behind the Sun (2001) 100% EDIT “Anders makes the point without belaboring it and without exploiting it for a turn-on.” – culturevulture.net Oct 15, 2001 Full Review The Swimmer (1968) 100% EDIT “Like a series of hammer-blows to the gut.” – culturevulture.net Oct 8, 2001 Full Review The Man With the Golden Arm (1955) 81% EDIT “Proves that drug stories aren't exclusively the territory of hip, nihilistic '90s film-school wunderkinder.” – culturevulture.net Sep 17, 2001 Full Review Shoot the Piano Player (1960) 90% EDIT “a fascinating study of flawed humanity” – culturevulture.net Jul 30, 2001 Full Review The Bank Dick (1940) 96% EDIT “It's still great, exhibiting a far superior sense of wit and comic timing than virtually any film released in the last twenty years.” – culturevulture.net Jul 30, 2001 Full Review
