Wild Style (1982) 90% EDIT “Charlie Ahearn's groundbreaking film about hip-hop, graffiti, break dancing, and rap in eighties New York celebrates its 25th anniversary with a new 35-mm. print.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Nov 10, 2008 Full Review Pride and Glory (2008) 35% EDIT “There may not be much new about director Gavin O'Connor's cop-corruption drama, but it's packed with enough gritty action and unflinching violence to keep things interesting.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 20, 2008 Full Review I've Loved You So Long (2008) 89% EDIT “Thomas plays Juliette as if she's trapped within her own body too, gradually learning to navigate her old world. Her performance gives life to a taut narrative.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 20, 2008 Full Review The Orphanage (2007) 87% EDIT “Alas, there's no Ahhhh! moment at the end to justify the mounting tension.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Sex Drive (2008) 46% EDIT “The trip takes them to hysterical locales, and the cast is often hilarious in this low budget surprise.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 13, 2008 Full Review Ashes of Time Redux (2008) 79% EDIT “Ignore the incomprehensible storyline and soak in the melancholy mood of Wong's ethereal vision.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 6, 2008 Full Review Alexander Nevsky (1938) 91% EDIT “Sergei Eisenstein's mannerist epic about the Russian hero who warded off the invading Teutonic knights is a near-perfect combination of image and sound.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 22, 2008 Full Review Virtual JFK: Vietnam If Kennedy Had Lived (2008) 77% EDIT “With its fascinating central question (What if ... ) and well-chosen, nostalgic footage of John F. Kennedy in his prime, this well-played documentary manages to escape the fate of other dry historical overviews.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 15, 2008 Full Review Ghost Town (2008) 85% EDIT “Who knew that Ricky Gervais could play such a likable leading man?” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 15, 2008 Full Review Battle in Seattle (2007) 57% EDIT “The drama gets heavy-handed at times, but the film is a triumph, thanks to a crack cast including Connie Nielson, stunning as a TV reporter who joins her subjects in protest.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 15, 2008 Full Review Flow: For Love of Water (2008) 80% EDIT “It's a plainly one-sided call to arms, but with good reason -- you may never look at your faucet without flinching again.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 8, 2008 Full Review Day of Wrath (1943) 100% EDIT “Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1943 masterpiece begins as a film about seventeenth-century witch hunts in Northern Europe, but it's really a psychological thriller about the pull of evil on weak souls.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Aug 25, 2008 Full Review Momma's Man (2008) 91% EDIT “It melds a poignant drama of adulthood with a surreal portrait of emotional paralysis, with an unexpected paean to the American avant-garde thrown in.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Aug 18, 2008 Full Review What We Do Is Secret (2007) 45% EDIT “The amateur vibe suits the subject matter, and the young cast rises to the challenge.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Aug 4, 2008 Full Review Red (2008) 71% EDIT “This powerful, elemental drama hits all the buttons, probably to a fault, but it's helped along by fine performances all around.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Aug 4, 2008 Full Review Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008) 68% EDIT “Steven Sebring's gorgeous, up-close-and-personal doc about the legendary rocker is both a journey into Smith's storied past and a portrait of her life today.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Aug 4, 2008 Full Review Before I Forget (2007) 87% EDIT “The film doesn't feel like a tragedy, but instead a droll slice of life -- perhaps a bit too muted and overlong, but often compelling in its own way.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 14, 2008 Full Review Tell No One (2006) 93% EDIT “This smash-hit French thriller starts slowly -- and builds into a sharp action flick, though an overload of plot twists threatens to bog things down midway through.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 30, 2008 Full Review Gunnin' for That No. 1 Spot (2008) 72% EDIT “It's as much a snapshot of the contemporary basketball scene as it is a love letter to the famed uptown court.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 23, 2008 Full Review Full Grown Men (2006) 42% EDIT “It's a beautiful, delicately observed comedy.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 23, 2008 Full Review Brick Lane (2007) 68% EDIT “Monica Ali's expansive, epic best seller about decades in the life of a sheltered wife from Bangladesh in the titular London neighborhood is transformed into a compact, delicate tale of adultery, extremism, and awakening.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 16, 2008 Full Review Monsieur Verdoux (1947) 97% EDIT “In its uncanny depiction of a weakling whose crimes pale against those of the war-mad society around him, it's a near masterpiece.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 9, 2008 Full Review Take Out (2004) 100% EDIT “...manages to mix immersive, pseudo-documentary filmmaking with a suspenseful narrative.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 2, 2008 Full Review The Foot Fist Way (2006) 52% EDIT “It may not look like much, but the low-budget tae kwon do comedy The Foot Fist Way is one of the funniest DIY flicks in years, thanks to the droll wit of writer-director Jody Hill and star Danny McBride.” – New York Magazine/Vulture May 27, 2008 Full Review Bigger, Stronger, Faster (2008) 96% EDIT “...manages to be two films at once: One is an informative portrait of a power-hungry society; the other is an intensely gripping narrative of personal growth.” – New York Magazine/Vulture May 27, 2008 Full Review
