Chaos and Desire
Little more than a fish-out-of-water tale told like my uncle’s suspect raves of his annual fishing trip: colourful but not terribly enlightening.
Harold and Maude
A treasure that’s as applicable today as it was more than three decades ago.
Shoulder Arms
Although it’s been a long time since 1918, there are still lessons to be learned from Shoulder Arms.
Hulk
Don’t let the previews fool you. Hulk isn’t your typical comic book movie. It’s not a disposable blockbuster either. These are both good things.
Films: C · Reviews: C · Sucky Sequels
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
Full Throttle would have worked if it were a promo video for a Hollywood stunt school. But you can only defy gravity so many times before you go floating off into space.
Chalte Chalte
I was disappointed by the simplistic route Mirza takes…and the lack of unique situations that might have made Chalte Chalte feel more genuine.
Decline of the American Empire
Arcand’s message might not be the happy, happy, joy, joy we have come to expect from our movies but he does shed some truth, no matter how hard it might be to digest.
The Italian Job
A competent enough feature with cool cars and a bass-heavy soundtrack but with its simplistic characters and mediocre plot, customized wheels and techno riffs just aren’t enough.
Finding Nemo
[Once again Pixar] ensures that the label ‘family film’ isn’t ‘a movie only your tots will enjoy’ but something that actually is for everyone.
The Shape of Things
Thank you Neil LaBute, you bastard. If only there were more like you to challenging us to look a little deeper in the mirror everyday.
