Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) 75% “Biollante would not appear in any other film in the Godzilla franchise, perhaps for practical reasons (she's inherently more ephemeral than other kaiju monsters), but she's among the series' most idiosyncratic nemeses.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You May 22, 2019 Full Review 4 (Chetyre) (2006) 75% “Even if its reasoning remains illogical, it amounts to a demonstration of unbridled audacity.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Feb 7, 2012 Full Review Family Plot (1976) 92% “As the impromptu coda to not only Hitchcock's fifty-year career but also his critically disharmonious late period, which finds some of his most political and under-appreciated work, Family Plot concludes ingeniously, with a wink.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Dec 20, 2011 Full Review Topaz (1969) 68% “It is a technically accomplished film, and its narrative is robust and complex, even if its destination is ultimately of no great significance.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Dec 20, 2011 Full Review Cool World (1992) 4% “[Who Framed Roger Rabbit] is better than this film in every qualifiable sense except it doesn't have a sex scene.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Twins of Evil (1971) 79% “There is subversion aplenty.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Feb 18, 2011 Full Review The Godfather (1972) 97% “The Godfather films remain so powerful, so ubiquitous, because in the Corleones we see the American Dream -- and in turn, ourselves.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Feb 11, 2011 Full Review Best Worst Movie (2009) 94% “This one has a certain dynamism to it and is at the very least a worthy introduction to the spectacle that is Troll 2.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Jul 7, 2010 Full Review The Extra Man (2010) 41% “Much of The Extra Man concerns Henry, portrayed with relentless propulsion by Kevin Kline.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America (2007) 41% “Herzog has found a kindred spirit in Tony Stone, and this is probably the only film I can immediately think of in which the great German director's cinematic sensibility has been sustained and not merely homaged.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Where the Wild Things Are (2009) 73% “The emotions at the core of each scene are sincere, and invariably true to the source.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 5, 2009 Full Review The Beaver Trilogy (2001) “A work of considerable ingenuity” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Aug 14, 2009 Full Review Make-Out With Violence (2008) 64% “The entire film possesses a certain longing, the sort that manifests itself and begins to grow at the moment of High School graduation, when some of the most formative circumstances of youth are remembered only as ephemeral moments.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Aug 9, 2009 Full Review Con Air (1997) 58% “Resolutely not boring.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Jul 24, 2009 Full Review Troll 2 (1990) 5% “It is a marvel of ineptness, staging scene after scene of total implausibility without a single believable performance, and many lines of dialogue that pose an audacious disregard for coherence. What characterizes the film is a consistency in tone.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Mar 24, 2009 Full Review Lake Mungo (2008) 95% “The film conditions you to doubt, growing less suspenseful, less atmospheric, and less frightening as it progresses.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Mar 24, 2009 Full Review The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) 72% “this film is about seeing Brad Pitt grow younger and handsomer until he becomes so young and handsome that it's a marvel equivalent to the launch of an Apollo rocket.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Dec 18, 2008 Full Review The Toe Tactic (2008) 40% “It's originality at the expense of comprehensibility.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) 92% “What Two-Lane Blacktop pronounces in its visuals, limited dialogue, and willfully underdeveloped characters remains largely superficial, yet its silence and patience indicate much depth.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Medicine for Melancholy (2008) 85% “The film is more ambient than my description will convey, and it doesn't feel scripted or directed in as much as it feels naturally funny and relaxed.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Transsiberian (2008) 91% “Transsiberian makes suspenseful and sometimes violent gestures, but it's all decoration.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Beautiful Losers (2008) 62% “That said, all art deserves biography, and great art deserves recognition.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 18, 2008 Full Review The Edge of Hell (1987) “a cheap, incompetently rendered film, but it is not a deceptive one” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 16, 2008 Full Review Mother of Tears (2007) 47% “A feeble, incidental continuation of his earlier films.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Jun 10, 2008 Full Review Mister Lonely (2007) 46% “To purists and lovers of abstraction, challenge, and all things fringe, it may feel like a loss of authenticity. But to the larger mainstream audience, it simply makes art more accessible.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You May 6, 2008 Full Review
