Joyeux Noël (aka Merry Christmas) movie review: a terrible peace
Dramatizes a bizarre moment in time with a straightforward aplomb that is devastating. You wish you could laugh at the insanity of it but the only emotional response is overwhelming rage and grief.
United 93 movie review: plane truth
Too soon too soon too soon. How can I bear to watch this? I don’t even know which 9/11 conspiracy theory to believe yet. Or maybe not too soon. How can I bear not to watch?
RV (review)
They’re the worst people you’ve ever met, and you’re gonna spend a week in an RV with them. (I recommend you avoid them at all costs, actually.)
Akeelah and the Bee (review)
Pretty darn wonderful: uplifting without being sappy, inspiring without being unrealistic. I confess I got a bit sniffly at the end, even though I saw the ending coming…
American Gun (review)
It’s no bit of cheap exploitation created merely to rake in some dough, but it isn’t very good, either.
American Dreamz (review)
A sharply incisive zinger that condemns the American people for being perfectly willing to be manipulated by their leaders and their entertainers…
The Sentinel (review)
Kiefer badness.
Hard Candy movie review: let us prey
Men and women are gonna have a lot to say to one another about this movie.
