Triumph of the Will
As sickening as it might be to watch, it’s this alternate point of view that is important in helping us learn from the past.
Winged Migration
Jacques Perrin’s spectacular documentary takes observation a step further as he literally seems to take flight with flocks of birds as they make their annual migration.
A Mighty Wind
A Mighty Wind looks like it wasn’t a big challenge for Guest and his ensemble cast of mockumentary regulars. But if this is what [they] can accomplish on cruise control all the power to them.
The Matrix Reloaded
Reloaded is far from bad. It’s not great either. The visuals alone make it worth seeing but most everything else falls way short of expectations.
X2: X-Men United
X2 is solid, especially when you put it alongside the original and others like it. At the same time, it is completely disposable.
Identity
In the end, it all comes to mood. The story, the setting, the characters, the twists – none would work if it weren’t for the feel of Identity.
Phone Booth
A modern morality tale complete with Kiefer Sutherland as God’s voice. Okay, so he’s a sniper on the other end of the phone, but with the things he says and the stereo sound he might as well be the Almighty.
Holes
Holes amounts to a look that is hot and leaves you grabbing for the Coke in the cup holder, wiping your brow and pondering a way to check your armpits without the person sitting next to you noticing.
Anger Management
I chuckled quite a bit, but when you have Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson teaming up anything less than laugh-out-loud hilarity has to be considered a major disappointment.
Ghosts of the Abyss
Ghosts of the Abyss is all about the spectacle of a six-story screen and the sensory bombardment of a rope flying at you or bubbles heading for the surface right in front of your nose.
