FILM REVIEW: SHRINK

How are you expected to help anyone else if you can’t even help yourself?

Film Review: Taking Woodstock

Surely the best thing about having a music festival in your backyard is hanging out with the rock stars, right? Well, not if you’re Eli Tiber (played here by Demetri Martin), the man who inadvertently set in motion the event that defined a generation.

Film Review: The Taking of Pelham

“The Taking of Pelham 123” is one dull train ride of a film. I’ll confess I haven’t seen the 1974 original, but if the plot’s even remotely the same, I can’t imagine what compelled Tony Scott to come up with a remake. The film comes across a bit like “Speed,” except that it takes place on a train. And the train doesn’t move. (You might say that does away with the key ingredient that made “Speed” somewhat watchable).

Film Review: Inglourious Basterds

While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea thanks to long scenes of extended dialogue and much less action than his fans have come to expect, “Inglourious Basterds” still proves that Quentin Tarantino is still the Cool Daddy of cinematic storytelling.

Film Review: Bruno

Film Review: Bruno

Sacha Baron Cohen is back and this time his alter ego, Bruno, is even more shocking, more controversial and definitely gayer than anything that has previously come from this warped comic mind.

Film Review: Up

While not quite as visually mind-blowing as “Wall-E” or even “Finding Nemo”, Pixar’s tenth feature film is nevertheless its most heartfelt to date. Like all great movie-making entities, Pixar constantly strives to break the mould, and this time around, it ventures down quite a dark path—dissecting death, sacrifice, love and the brevity of life.

 

Film Review: Public Enemies

August 12th, 2009
It would be interesting to know what John Dillinger, a film buff himself, would have made of this epic portrait of his Depression-era bank-robbing escapades.
