Breathe In review: every man’s fantasy — blech
Dear Penthouse Forum: I am an ordinary high school teacher, happily married. I never thought anything like this would happen when we hosted a beautiful, brilliant British foreign exchange student…
reviews by year
In the House (Dans la maison) review: humour noir
As a black comedy, this never quite catches fire, though there is some mild amusement to be found in its social satire.
The Wolverine review: prickly on the outside, cuddly on the inside
There’s plenty of good summer popcorn fun, with fresh and exciting action setpieces, but this is mostly an intimate story about Logan, as a mutant and as a man.
The World’s End review: the very bitter (and lager) end
Its humor is a little more uncomfortable than that of the other Cornetto flicks, and it’s more far satirical, in a far more cynical way, than I ever would have anticipated.
Girl Most Likely review: you can go home again, but it’ll probably suck
Absolutely hilarious and absolutely heartbreaking. Kristen Wiig is brilliant. (new DVD/VOD US/Can)
Terms and Conditions May Apply review: we all agreed to PRISM
Nobody reads the terms-and-conditions of Web sites. They’re designed to discourage us from doing so… and there’s a reason why.
Pacific Rim review: the world goes to war
A war movie in the grandest tradition, set in a rich new fictional universe that we’re going to be talking about for a long time.
Blancanieves review: silent style
A valentine to early filmmaking, this silent-movie pastiche is gorgeous, lush, and bursting with passion. It presents a familiar fairy tale with a wondrous air of freshness and newfound intimacy.
Now You See Me review: popcorn with glitter on top
Most of it makes no sense at all, but who cares? This is cheerful ridiculousness pulled off with panache.
Errors of the Human Body review: scientists are people too
More brooding thinkpiece than sci-fi thriller, and yet fans of brooding thinkpieces may not be wholly satisfied, either.
