Jackpot (Arme Riddere) (review)
Could I dare to hope that another Jo Nesbo film would be as wickedly funny and as sharply pointed as Headhunters? Alas…
suspense/thriller
Red Lights (review)
This ridiculous flick wants to have its pseudoscience cake and eat it too…
Silent House (review)
Elizabeth Olsen is, without question, one of the most intriguing, most thrilling young talents to burst onto the scene in years. I just wish the movie was kinder to her as a talent…
Safe movie review: New York noir
A viciously cynical dark fantasy that fashions a new mythos of post-9/11 New York, a bleak but plausible world of the Russian mob, the Chinese Triads, and the NYPD as another gang vying for supremacy.
Gone (review)
With “friends” like this movie, the feminist cause doesn’t need enemies. That is, assuming that it’s intending to be feminist at all…
Transit (review)
This movie hasn’t been any good the thousand other times you’ve seen it, and it’s no good now, either.
Fury (aka The Samaritan) review
Samuel L. Jackson, starring in… Fury! Don’t be fooled: this has less than nothing to do with The Avengers…
The Cabin in the Woods movie review: the end of horror
I don’t know how anyone can possibly make a horror movie again. This absolutely genius movie renders all past and future examples of the genre superfluous.
Headhunters (Hodejegerne) (review)
Crazy-funny, a hilarious satire on male inadequacy disguised as an outrageously violent crime thriller. Not at all for the squeamish, and just so wrong that it ends up just so right.
Contraband (review)
It’s a good thing Mark Wahlberg is so effortlessly charming: he keeps this rather generic heist thriller rolling along as smoothly as it does.
