Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) 51% C “This project doesn’t give Caple Jr. anything to work with in terms of intimate human drama, and the thin characterizations hamper the lead actors’ talents.” – AV Club Jun 8, 2023 Full Review Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 95% B “Across The Spider-Verse retains the rapid-fire wit and thrilling action of its predecessor. ” – AV Club May 31, 2023 Full Review A Little White Lie (2023) 35% C+ “Not even the considerable comic chops of Shannon and Kate Hudson are enough to save this literary world comedy. ” – AV Club Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Bones and All (2022) 82% A- “Simultaneously freaky and from the heart in a special, singular way.” – AV Club Nov 23, 2022 Full Review There There (2022) 46% C+ “If the resulting film feels like little more than the cinematic equivalent of a series of B-sides of varying quality strung together, it at least whets the appetite for the next proper cinematic album that Bujalski releases.” – AV Club Nov 21, 2022 Full Review Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) 84% B+ “A film that, especially in its superior second half, is as clever and enjoyably absurdist as Weird Al favorites like the food-themed “Beat It” parody, “Eat It,” and the Coolio riff “Amish Paradise”...” – AV Club Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Raymond & Ray (2022) 48% B- “For the most part, Raymond And Ray reaffirms the filmmaker’s command of gentle, emotionally complex human portraiture.” – AV Club Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Samaritan (2022) 38% C “It’s both ironic and fitting that while Samaritan positions itself as fresh territory for the actor, it’s only entertaining once it belatedly refashions itself as a throwback to vintage Stallone fare.” – AV Club Aug 25, 2022 Full Review The Road (2009) 74% 3/5 “Emotionally affecting enough to please fans and the uninitiated alike, even if it falls short of its source material's profound beauty.” – Hollywood.com Nov 23, 2009 Full Review Elegy (2008) 74% “In the early scenes of the two lovers discovering each other's bodies and personal quirks, Coixet coaxes work from Kingsley and Cruz that is remarkably intimate.” – FilmStew.com Aug 8, 2008 Full Review The Fall (2006) 64% “The best movie of the year so far by a wide mile.” – FilmStew.com May 12, 2008 Full Review Redbelt (2008) 67% “The journey has its charms, but the destination calls to mind Peggy Lee's "Is That All There Is?"” – FilmStew.com May 2, 2008 Full Review Stop-Loss (2008) 64% “Much of Stop-Loss' first act feels like the cast of Hee-Haw auditioning for a Best Years of Our Lives remake.” – FilmStew.com Mar 31, 2008 Full Review Charlie Wilson's War (2007) 82% “A mildly engaging holiday season diversion that will evaporate from many viewers' memories at a speed so rapid it may put Santa's sleigh to shame.” – FilmStew.com Dec 21, 2007 Full Review Southland Tales (2006) 41% “Reminiscent of the fiction of Kurt Vonnegut, with its mix of sci-fi mythology, absurdist humor and political outrage.” – FilmStew.com Nov 14, 2007 Full Review Trade (2007) 33% “Treats sex slavery with roughly the same amount of tact and complexity with which the Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle Hard Target treated homelessness.” – FilmStew.com Oct 2, 2007 Full Review Next (2007) 28% 1.5/5 “Next spurs unintended laughs.” – Metromix.com Sep 29, 2007 Full Review The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) 77% “In its nakedly revealed tremors of fear and insecurity, Affleck's tour de force is reminiscent of the similarly raw work of the late, great John Cazale.” – FilmStew.com Sep 20, 2007 Full Review Rush Hour 3 (2007) 17% “Roman Polanski has a confounding two-scene cameo as a customs official who gives Carter and Lee a full cavity search. (Har har.)” – FilmStew.com Aug 10, 2007 Full Review La Vie en Rose (2007) 74% “Doesn't quite keep up with the grand showmanship and emotional complexity of the performance at its center, but has a few impressive tricks up its sleeve.” – Metromix.com Jun 15, 2007 Full Review Once (2007) 97% “You leave the theatre feeling like you're walking on air. And isn't that all you can ask of any musical?” – Metromix.com May 24, 2007 Full Review Angel-A (2005) 47% “Luc Besson's characteristic flair for visual expression here manifests itself in the most subdued way imaginable.” – FilmStew.com May 22, 2007 Full Review Paris, je t'aime (2006) 86% “Alexander Payne strikes the same balance of snarky humor and sneaky empathy that has made his body of work so distinct in contemporary American cinema.” – FilmStew.com May 22, 2007 Full Review Lucky You (2007) 28% 2/5 “All but the most die-hard Texas Hold 'Em fans will be fighting the urge to snooze.” – Metromix.com May 3, 2007 Full Review In the Land of Women (2007) 43% “Only slightly less clumsy overall than Against the Ropes, but at least it plays to co-star Meg Ryan's ability to suggest volumes of repressed emotion.” – FilmStew.com Apr 24, 2007 Full Review
