The Merry Gentleman (2009) 65% “It is a slow film, which could work, if it eventually became intriguing, but all we get is a showcase for annoying people who would have nothing in their lives, if they weren't already in a movie.” – Examiner.com Jan 31, 2013 Full Review Ultraviolet (2006) 9% “The repetition of the action scenes play like an avant-garde joke about the indistinguishable nature of Hollywood fight scenes. Think Warhol's soup cans, only with actors posing with swords.” – Examiner.com Dec 31, 2012 Full Review Escape 2000 (1983) “Castellari is a very accomplished action director. There are several hundred people killed in Escape from the Bronx, but it's never boring, as there's a lot of variety in the way people die and the camerawork is excellent for such low-budget film.” – Examiner.com Nov 12, 2012 Full Review The Lift (1983) “Maas gives us a whole bunch of family strife and then doesn't resolve it. The elevator is far more important to him so when that business is done, so is the movie.” – Examiner.com Oct 4, 2012 Full Review The Master (2012) 85% “There seems to be a large gap in the third act of either material deleted to shorten the film or Anderson simply never worked it out. But don't get me wrong, I'd certainly be interested in seeing The Master 2: Ghost Protocol or Look Who's Master Now.” – Examiner.com Sep 20, 2012 Full Review Montenegro (1981) 88% “The first half of Montenegro seems to be a parody of Ingmar Bergman films, where characters wallow instead of doing anything about their problems. It's no accident that director Dusan Makajevev cast Bergman-regular Erland Josephson as the miserly husband.” – Examiner.com Sep 8, 2012 Full Review Swimming to Cambodia (1987) 100% “Gray is never too far from reminding you of your own self-indulgence, and that he also knows how he sounds.” – Examiner.com Aug 29, 2012 Full Review “Tavernier slips in subtle touches that seem meaningless and would normally have a big circle around it and an arrow pointing at it and saying "look at me, I'm important," but instead reinforce the droning, impersonal nature of this particular society.” – Examiner.com Aug 27, 2012 Full Review Death Watch (1980) 79% “Tavernier slips in subtle touches that seem meaningless and would normally have a big circle around it and an arrow pointing at it and saying "look at me, I'm important," but instead reinforce the droning, impersonal nature of this particular society.” – Examiner.com Aug 27, 2012 Full Review The Music of Chance (1993) 100% “Haas' literal-minded adaptation, something he also did effectively with the more visually opulent Angels and Insects, is helpful in directly laying out our own moral debate, where our sense of social obligation bumps up against our moralistic outrage.” – Examiner.com Aug 27, 2012 Full Review Dream Lover (1994) 57% “Eschewing his standard performance of smugness and distance, using intense, blank stares, Spader actually emotes with his lips too, suggesting that there's more going on than just a slimy scoundrel who we should pity because his livelihood is threatened.” – Examiner.com Jul 15, 2012 Full Review Rad (1986) 42% “Rad fits so snugly into Needham's oeuvre that it's unclear whether the movie is an excuse for the 8 minute BMX montage that opens Rad or he's just lazy about setting up the slobs vs. snobs beats in his 30 year-old-teenagers in high school magnum opus.” – Examiner.com Jun 25, 2012 Full Review City of Hope (1991) 95% “Sayles' strategy is unique and sneaky without being self-serving... An epic-scale examination of how the bad guy never knows he's the bad guy.” – Examiner.com Jun 21, 2012 Full Review Lookin' to Get Out (1982) 31% “Ashby's instincts are so off throughout Lookin' To Get Out that he only accentuates his major weaknesses as a filmmaker - plot twists, slapstick, chase sequences and lots of screaming that eschews any character development or scenes of insight.” – Examiner.com Jun 13, 2012 Full Review Comfort and Joy (1984) 100% “Like most Forsyth films, Comfort and Joy is warm and gentle without being cloying or maudlin. And it somehow avoids off-putting levels of cynicism. Like its main character, Alan, it's just the right amount of not important.” – Examiner.com Apr 27, 2012 Full Review Virus (1999) 14% “The conclusion is so rushed it almost functions as parody. But the biggest impression the movie leaves is that William "Kangaroo Head" Baldwin makes lots of unintentionally goofy faces.” – Examiner.com Apr 25, 2012 Full Review This World, Then the Fireworks (1997) 38% “Sheryl Lee, as the cop who Billy Zane is scamming and sleeping with gives such a terrible performance that is simultaneously absolutely perfect. She's the most accurate representative of the movie as a whole.” – Examiner.com Apr 16, 2012 Full Review Parade (2009) “Director Isao Yukisada does avoid clichs as best as he can, including a fascinating bit where it appears that the roommates are happier to accept Satoru, the male hustler, if he's gay, and that being straight would threaten his image.” – Examiner.com Apr 14, 2012 Full Review Trespass (2011) 9% “It's so routine that it's as if Joel Schumacher showed his final cut to producer Avi Lerner and said, "Avi, look, I put together a thing!" "You mean you finished the movie?" "No, it's not a movie, it's a thing.” – Examiner.com Apr 6, 2012 Full Review Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011) 18% “"The prophecy says the ritual will take place ..." tells you that this movie was entirely dictated by location. The ritual could take place in the middle of Times Square and it would still end up looking like it was shot in an anonymous Romanian nightclub.” – Examiner.com Apr 6, 2012 Full Review Justice (2011) 28% “The movie opens with an embarrassingly obvious scene of exposition and ends in an abandoned mall with a laborious explanation by a talking killer and further villainous actions cleared up by a trusting local detective who can sweep things under the rug.” – Examiner.com Apr 6, 2012 Full Review A Man in Love (1987) 50% “The title may refer to Coyote's obsession with his own wonders, but it's clear that in her way, Kurys has really made it about her love for the artificiality of cinema. But mostly her love of mediocrity.” – Examiner.com Mar 13, 2012 Full Review Burn! (1969) 80% “If there's a better filmic explanation for how people can justify exploitation and colonialism, I don't know what it is.” – Examiner.com Mar 5, 2012 Full Review Paperhouse (1988) 100% “The scenes of Anna running around mountains in a moment of escape or toward an enormous lighthouse don't have the feel of something whitewashed like The Sound of Music but rather the dark undercurrent of the delusions of the girls in Heavenly Creatures.” – Examiner.com Feb 28, 2012 Full Review Manhattan (1979) 93% “Manhattan is Allen's most fully realized film, especially in the way perspectives are developed. It's the rare movie that can be watched from a number of different points-of-view, without feeling cheated.” – Examiner.com Feb 13, 2012 Full Review
