Prometheus
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick
|
Insulting lip service to 2001 notwithstanding, Prometheus shocks and awes with more than sufficient technical bravura. If only it was as smart as it clearly thinks it is.

The Possession
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick
|
While frustratingly vague in terms of character and motivation, The Possession is among the more competent of recent studio horror efforts. If only that wasn't the best thing I could say about it.

Lockout
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick
|
Lean, fun, smart without overthinking things and always equipped with a one-liner, Lockout is refreshingly free of the bull**** that plagues so many genre films.

Killer Joe
(2011)
|
Rob Humanick
|
The humor magnifies the horror, and vice versa. Like the inflammatory Dr. Strangelove, we've sewn these seeds, and we deserve whatever is reaped from them.

Beyond the Black Rainbow
(2011)
|
Rob Humanick
|
If 2001: A Space Odyssey had an evil twin masquerading as a horror film, this would be it. Beyond the Black Rainbow culls from untold volumes of film history even as it delivers its own uniquely brilliant freak-outs.

The Expendables 2
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick

Enjoyable, but disappointingly tame compared to its ferocious predecessor. The Expendables 2 is disposable.

Total Recall
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick

While far from terrible, this retread forgoes any qualities to justify its existence in the first place. It will be justly forgotten before long.

Savages
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick

Essentially stupid, but stylistically invigorating, like watching a genius muck about with finger paints like a child on a sugar high. And then it throws it back in your face.

Take This Waltz
(2011)
|
Rob Humanick
|
Polley's sophomore feature fumbles between reality and fantasy, often insightful but frequently ungrounded. Dig that carnival ride, though.

This Is Not a Film
(2010)
|
Rob Humanick
|
The truth of what is and isn't lies deep between the lines of this brilliantly elusive meta-commentary, arguably the greatest Iranian film since Abbas Kiarostami's masterpiece Close-Up.

I laughed, and frequently. There are also images I can now never forget, and kind of want to. Is this what it was like for all those people I introduced, kicking and screaming, to Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

Your Sister's Sister
(2011)
|
Rob Humanick

What could have been trite male wish-fulfillment is instead beholden to genuinely messy revelations: life as a tattered, living quilt we sew and wear as one.

My Life as Abraham Lincoln
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick
|
Caught somewhere between an overwrought and interminable student film and an affectionately incompetent Ed Wood production. After two viewings, I don't know entirely how to feel about the experience, and that, to me, says it's an essential one.

Lawless
(2012)

Appropriately solemn and violent, yet strangely lifeless. I imagine a better film was lost in the editing room, and will hopefully be found on Blu-ray.

Haywire
(2011)
|
Rob Humanick
|
"Don't think of her as a woman. That would be a mistake," says an s.o.b. late in this sexy, jazzy exercise, and he couldn't be more wrong. The action film as a love letter to a lethal goddess.

The Dark Knight Rises
(2012)
|
Rob Humanick
|
There's enough that works in The Dark Knight Rises that I can overlook most of the more glaring flaws, but it remains to date the most disappointing film I've seen from 2012.
