The Forest for the Trees (review)
German filmmaker Maren Ade quietly astonishes with her 2003 debut, a portrait of echoing loneliness and raw anger of a still female kind that is rarely seen in cinema.
The Nativity Story (review)
Jesus of Nazareth. He’s kinda like Sherlock Holmes. Or Superman. Even if you’ve never read the book about him, or seen any of the movies, you know his story.
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear and Return to King Solomon’s Mines (review)
I’m reminded how darn cute Noah Wyle is by his totally charming Dr. Flynn Carson … not a medical doctor but a professional geek and know-it-all in the made-for-TV ‘Librarian’ movies…
baby, it’s hot outside: ‘An Inconvenient Truth, ‘Who Killed the Electric Car?,’ and ‘The Great Warming’
Get ’em while they’re hot…
Deja Vu (review)
I hope if you plunked down your ten bucks for ‘Deja Vu’ this weekend that you stormed out of the theater when it was over and demanded you money back from the multiplex manager. Cuz this is one of the worst instances of the false adverstising of a movie that I can remember.
Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (review)
A hilarious bastard child of ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ and ‘Wayne’s World,’ and one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year.
Deja Vu, Tenacious D, The Fountain: reviews coming tomorrow
I’m busy getting ready for turkey day tomorrow, and with catching up on Deja Vu and Tenacious D, which I missed the press screenings of. Check back tomorrow (or maybe Friday) for reviews of all three. Feel free to use this as an open thread for discussion of any of these movies.
Adventures of the Gummi Bears: Volume 1 Seasons 1–3 (review)
The gummi! It burns! It burns!
Bobby (review)
“I didn’t know, I didn’t know, I didn’t know,” I said to myself at the devastating end of ‘Bobby’: I had no idea how important Bobby Kennedy was to so many people.
mockumentaries and the art of the cinematic put-on
The mockumentary is alive and well on DVD, even if Christopher Guest has abandoned it.
