Troy (2004) 53% “Troy is definitely big, and it retains the general contours of The Iliad, but it's strangely flat. It seems like a lot of committees had to certify all its major elements inoffensive - or maybe they just tested and tweaked it to death.” – Flak Magazine Jun 8, 2018 Full Review Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2005) 88% “One never really gets to suspend disbelief in any of Cock and Bull's subplots, but the time flies by even without the standard narrative drive.” – Flak Magazine Jun 8, 2018 Full Review Soul Plane (2004) 18% “A series of erratic skits rather than a coherent comedy.” – Flak Magazine Jun 8, 2018 Full Review A Scanner Darkly (2006) 68% “A thing of beauty, diabolical intelligence and more subversive fun than the law will soon allow.” – Flak Magazine Jun 8, 2018 Full Review School for Scoundrels (2006) 26% “Infinitely more could have been done with this material, and would have been if the authors had even tried to honor the love-farce origins of their story.” – Flak Magazine Jun 8, 2018 Full Review The New World (2005) 63% “It is smart, lush and strange enough to reward close attention, and to keep the Terrence Malick legend alive until his next effort.” – Flak Magazine Jun 6, 2018 Full Review Mr. 3000 (2004) 54% “Mr. 3000 doesn't hit it out of the park... But nobody here seems to be over-reaching or straining, and by stringing together a lot of slight, genuine surprises, the film succeeds.” – Flak Magazine Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Love Actually (2003) 64% “None of Love Actually's nine short love stories is developed very thoroughly or thoughtfully; some of the vignettes, however, are poignant because they are hard-wired with "screen magic."” – Flak Magazine Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Little Black Book (2004) 22% “Hip, cynical and saccharine, it is very nearly rescued by its three leading actresses... who turn it into an intergenerational babe-fest, so wonderfully watchable as to be worth at least matinee admission.” – Flak Magazine Jun 5, 2018 Full Review The Libertine (2005) 34% “Its nearly humorless, heatless, repellently graphic depiction of the period might serve as health-class hygiene film, but it gives libertinage a bad name.” – Flak Magazine Jun 5, 2018 Full Review The Hills Have Eyes (2006) 51% “A pitch-black comedy, a parody/homage that deconstructs itself as it goes along.” – Flak Magazine Jun 4, 2018 Full Review Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003) 73% “This wholly satisfying film is made up of a lot of little touches, many of which are imparted through the rising star [Scarlett] Johansson.” – Flak Magazine Jun 4, 2018 Full Review Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) 82% “Makes for a chillingly hilarious and surprisingly entertaining movie.” – Flak Magazine Jun 2, 2018 Full Review Collateral (2004) 86% “Each frame is interestingly filled... and the quirkily glamorous stars hypnotize with their performances. But even casual introspection of Collateral reveals deep cheesiness and paint-by-numbers structure.” – Flak Magazine May 31, 2018 Full Review The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) 28% “Should serve as a cautionary tale about how and why sequels go so horribly wrong... It's fast-paced, very loud and utter nonsense, even compared to the first.” – Flak Magazine May 31, 2018 Full Review Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) 90% “There are definitely some laughs in the film, but it's really not even the funniest film this year... Where Borat does especially distinguish itself is in the refreshingly acidic view it presents of Americans.” – Flak Magazine May 30, 2018 Full Review Bad Santa (2003) 78% “This film's not the savage satire some might want, but it will redeem at least 93 minutes of Christmas.” – Flak Magazine May 30, 2018 Full Review Alexander (2004) 15% “[Oliver] Stone seems to have decided to go legit; the narrative tone is that of a dotty classics professor with psychoanalytical and allegorical predilections.” – Flak Magazine May 29, 2018 Full Review Cloverfield (2008) 79% “It may provide the best rush of goofy exhilaration in a long time.” – Flak Magazine May 29, 2018 Full Review
