I'm Still Here
September 10, 2010An artistic experiment that runs far, far longer than a 108 minute running time, "I'm Still Here" is a modern Roman holiday that chillingly frames existential pain within a Warholian nightmare. Love it or hate it, it's a work that will stick with you.
The Virginity Hit
September 10, 2010Produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, "The Virginity Hit" may not be quite as laugh-out-loud funny as "The Other Guys," but as a stylized coming of age story, it has a lot to offer. A bizarrely balanced hybrid of raunchy sex comedy and wholesome relationship drama, "Virginity Hit" scores.
Going the Distance
September 10, 2010Gosh, the romantic comedy is hard to do. Well, the romantic comedy is hard to do well. That's an important caveat. There are all of the normal trope and cliché pitfalls that it is so easy for professional writers to fall into--when writing becomes work with a schedule shortcuts tend to look much better--but they tend to be much more seductive in the romantic comedy with its implicit promise of fluff and sentimental ease.
Machete
September 10, 2010It's taken 15 years and umpteen billion supporting tough guy roles, but Robert Rodriguez has finally managed to make a major studio film starring Danny Trejo.
The American
September 10, 2010Corbijn's sophomore effort is gorgeously shot with plenty of beautiful scenery to gush over, but otherwise, the results are mostly dull and disjointed, more "boredom-inducing" than "Bourne."
The Last Exorcism
September 10, 2010"The Last Exorcism" is creepy, disturbing fun... and very surprising in the way it handles the subject matter differently than how it's been handled in the past.
Lottery Ticket
September 10, 2010The filmmakers seemed to be aiming for something light and airy that would be gone as soon as you left the theater, and they got exactly that.
Nanny McPhee Returns
September 10, 2010For any problems it has, "Nanny McPhee Returns" is enjoyable for a lot longer than it's not, filled with class and charm that a lot of other children's films reject as unpalatable. And when you're talking about a film that spends a lot of time talking about animal droppings, that's saying something.
The Switch
September 10, 2010It's not horrible and it has the sense to make the most of Bateman's talents, but it's awfully hard to relate to people who can't figure out Clark Kent is Superman wearing glasses.
Eat Pray Love
September 10, 2010Like a 2 1/2 hour infomercial about sharing your feelings that replaces any true emotions with some of the most ridiculous and useless spiritual rhetoric you're ever likely to hear.
