Carnival of Souls (1962) 87% EDIT “The film today might appear to be a relic of amateur expressionism. Yet it is difficult to overstate the impact that this picture... had on we who were children during the roughly ten years it was shown on television. ” – L.A. Weekly Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Farewell to Raskolnikov's (2005) EDIT “Nothing in the story rings true, either as a publishing fable or as a mating lesson.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 28, 2007 Full Review Provoked (2007) 28% EDIT “Unfortunately, syrupy music, reductive characterizations and bland cinematography turn her case into an earnest feminist fable that plays like an afterschool special for grown-ups. (Call it the anti-Longford.)” – L.A. Weekly May 10, 2007 Full Review Absolute Wilson (2006) 76% EDIT “Wilson is the prime example of what happens when money is continually thrown at a voracious ego -- its creative universe keeps expanding until the money stops. One problem is that most of Wilson's works don't 'snapshot' very well as excerpts.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 4, 2007 Full Review The L.A. Riot Spectacular (2005) 38% EDIT “The gags are mortally unfunny.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 10, 2006 Full Review Following Sean (2004) 88% EDIT “Part of the film's charm lies in its evocation of a generational mural that includes old Marxists, flower children and the progeny of red-diaper babies.” – L.A. Weekly May 18, 2006 Full Review Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2004) 96% EDIT “Historically thorough and thoroughly hysterical.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 20, 2006 Full Review Derailroaded (2005) 82% EDIT “In spite of its sympathy, Derailroaded veers into reality-TV voyeurism.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 8, 2005 Full Review One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern (2005) 82% EDIT “[A] surprisingly thorough film.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 17, 2005 Full Review Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror (2005) 57% 3.5/5 EDIT “In their quest to connect as many dots as possible (Halliburton, depleted uranium, civilian war deaths), Ungerman and Brohy spread themselves a little thin across the map of U.S. intrigue.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Bewitched (2005) 23% EDIT “The film's funny for 15 minutes as it skewers Hollywood and prowls block after block of familiar L.A. scenery. After that, with a twitch of the nose, all plot vanishes.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 23, 2005 Full Review Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale (2000) 78% EDIT “The Shapiros ... ultimately reveal a frail but mentally robust old man whose gnawing hunger for knowledge led him to shun a safe, comfortable career in art for a series of radically transformative experiences at the world's edges.” – L.A. Weekly Oct 28, 2002 Full Review The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) 81% EDIT “The Coens have resurrected a hardscrabble California of wooden porches and gravel driveways, of rolling, oak-wreathed hills and one-lane roads, and of a restless people whose meager dreams are wrecked the moment money, sex or a bottle get in the way.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 30, 2002 Full Review
