Scream (1996) 77% “Scream is a meta-horror film that hilariously parodies the genre's clichés with smarts to spare. ” – L.A. Weekly Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Selena (1997) 66% “For all its simplicity, however, the film is entertaining, even uplifting, with Lopez giving a stellar, confectionary performance. ” – L.A. Weekly Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Nothing But a Man (1964) 98% “While the film could likely be made today without the threat of violence, its honest, sensitive and insightful depiction of black life in America is still without comparison. It's also an indictment of America's institutional racism, both then and now.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 31, 2022 Full Review Shrek (2001) 88% “Murphy steals every scene he's in with equal parts bounce and warmth.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 9, 2015 Full Review Shadow Company (2006) 80% “[A] fascinating, evenhanded documentary.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 13, 2007 Full Review Cut Sleeve Boys (2006) 42% “[Director] Yeung handles [his characters'] parallel journeys of self-discovery with humor, grace and an occasionally heavy hand, with Leow giving a winning performance as Ash.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 9, 2007 Full Review The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams (2005) “It's easy to keep blaming Ken Burns for this kind of softcore Civil War porn, but enough is enough: This is a vanity project of the most indulgent order.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 7, 2007 Full Review Fakers (2004) 38% “Such artless inattention to the con man's craft might be overlooked if any of the characters or performers had the personality to pull one over on us, the audience.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 26, 2007 Full Review Quality of Life (2004) 64% “It's a setup as old as the hills, but the unvarnished simplicity with which first-time director Benjamin Morgan rolls it out makes the tale worth another go-round.” – L.A. Weekly May 25, 2006 Full Review An American Haunting (2005) 12% “This 'true account' of the Bell Witch haunting offers an encyclopedic rehash of spook films new and old, dressed out in murky period detail.” – L.A. Weekly May 4, 2006 Full Review The Fog (2005) 4% “A film riddled with missed opportunities for good clean scares.” – L.A. Weekly Oct 20, 2005 Full Review The Squid and the Whale (2005) 91% “in The Squid and the Whale, Noah Baumbach weds his verbal gifts to a fresh visual acuity that brings layers of rich detail to a portrait of a family coping, poorly, with self-inflicted change.” – L.A. Weekly Oct 13, 2005 Full Review Serenity (2005) 82% “It's the zippy chatter among the Serenity's wised-up space pirates that gives the film most of its punch, but with only serviceable action sequences and largely cookie-cutter effects, you can still sense the void just outside.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 29, 2005 Full Review A State of Mind (2004) 89% “Gordon gives an intimate, balanced account of how political power, famine, power shortages and a hatred of America have shaped their young lives.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 1, 2005 Full Review Matando cabos (2005) 53% “Prominently placed in Jaque's bachelor pad is a poster for Down by Law, but it's abundantly clear that Lozano and company have been re-watching Pulp Fiction for the last decade.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 25, 2005 Full Review The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) 14% “As a salvo in the culture wars, Dukes of Hazzard is a dud, and as an actual movie it doesn't rate much higher.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 4, 2005 Full Review Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns (2002) 82% “The Giants' longevity flows from the fact that they can't be explained, only experienced.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 28, 2003 Full Review Spun (2002) 36% “While his characters wallow and his wasted cast founders in the shoals of Will De Los Santos and Creighton Vero's script, kerlund apes the tics of his primary influences: Oliver Stone, Darren Aronofsky and the photography of David LaChapelle.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 19, 2003 Full Review Dear Fidel: Marita's Story (2001) 62% “It's a refreshing change from the self-interest and paranoia that shape most American representations of Castro.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 6, 2003 Full Review Poolhall Junkies (2002) 33% “A one-way ticket to Palookaville.” – L.A. Weekly Feb 27, 2003 Full Review The Jungle Book 2 (2003) 19% “It can't shake the impression of a video premiere stretched to big-screen size.” – L.A. Weekly Feb 12, 2003 Full Review Dragonfly (2002) 7% “Despite the film's aspirations to soul healing, its uplift remains mechanical, like an escalator's.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 20, 2003 Full Review Rollerball (2002) 3% “Pushes the Hollywood action movie to stratospheric new levels of incoherence.” – L.A. Weekly Jan 15, 2003 Full Review Skins (2002) 59% “Rather quickly, the film falls into a soothing formula of brotherly conflict and reconciliation.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 13, 2002 Full Review Take Care of My Cat (2001) 82% “A captivating coming-of-age story that may also be the first narrative film to be truly informed by the wireless age.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 13, 2002 Full Review
