The China Syndrome
(1979)
|
Jay Antani
|
Crackling drama about 온라인카지노추천 reporter (Jane Fonda) investigating a coverup at a faulty nuclear reactor, and pressing upon conflicted technician played by the first-rate Jack Lemmon to go public with the story.

A View to a Kill
(1985)
|
Jay Antani
|
The aging Roger Moore rehashes his somewhat foppish Bond in this sad '80s installment with Grace Jones as a vampish villainess. Awful, and an embarrassment to the Bond mystique.

Ma Mère
(2004)
|
Jay Antani
|
...a dispirited affair and often feels like a parody - a decidedly self-serious one - of one of Bertolucci or Pasolini's boundary-pushing offerings from the '70s

Palindromes

Jay Antani

Take away the subversive hilarity of his movies, and [Solondz] could well be the cinematic equivalent of the Unabomber.

Oldboy
(2003)
|
Jay Antani
|
Oldboy is a true-to-form sendup of grittier, more lurid manga fare. This is good news for die-hard fans of the form and teeth-gritting torture for those who are not.

The Killing Fields
(1984)
|
Jay Antani
|
One of the most potent politically-charged dramas ever made, managing to honor both the epic and the intimate aspects of its drama. One of the top films of the '80s.

Steamboy

In spite of...obvious and unfortunate flaws, if you're going to see Steamboy do so on the big screen so as to be reminded of the marvels of hand-drawn animation

Mail Order Wife

A Love Song for Bobby Long

Bacon's Walter is a searing creation...breaking through the The Woodsman's well-behaved exterior to reveal something of the...untrodden depths churning at its heart.

Overnight

Overnight always holds our interest, not so much as a documentary as an episode of a junky reality 온라인카지노추천 show.

Confidence

American Splendor
(2003)
|
Jay Antani

It gets the mood right, but never slows enough to explore its rich, existential landscape--the cynical, ultimately humanist, musings at the heart of Pekar's comic manifestos.

Madame Satã
