G.B.F. review: high school sucks
Sharp satire cutting through the sweet silliness makes this a refreshing change of pace for teen comedies.
2014 theatrical releases
Devil’s Due review: she’s having Satan’s baby
This bunch of found footage should have stayed lost.
The Square review: power from the people
This is history firsthand, in progress, and unfinished.
Dom Hemingway review
Jude Law is wonderfully deranged and utterly plausible as a rage-filled moron, but the movie leaves him adrift amongst unrealized satire…
Mistaken for Strangers review (London Film Festival)
Perhaps the least bullshitting, most unostentatious rock doc ever, often as hilarious as This Is Spinal Tap, though with a different aim in mind in the end…
Sx_Tape review (London Film Festival) (world premiere)
There’s no reason or logic in this found-footage yawner, and nothing rises to the level of even adolescent notions of sexy-scary.
The Congress movie review (London Film Festival)
A hugely ambitious film reminiscent of The Matrix and the works of Terry Gilliam while also carving out its own apocalyptic sci-fi space.
Mystery Road movie review (London Film Festival)
Touched by dry humor and elegant action, this is a marvelous blend of classic detective noir and modern Outback Western.
Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (aka Alan Partridge: The Movie) review: tamed bear
Steve Coogan is still, hilariously, the same old awful, insecure jerk, but the media satire that has always revolved around the Alan Partridge character is somewhat diminished.
