The Science of Sleep

The Science of Sleep

It was wise of Michel Gondry to do a follow-up what I consider to be the most brilliant film of the century (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) with this light-hearted, surreal piece of brain-candy. The Science of Sleep is clever and funny, and is of course, filled with the director's trademark... [More]

Friends With Money

Friends With Money

Friends With Money is a charming and extremely funny look at the various ways in which money (or the lack thereof) effects our lives and particularly our relationships with loved ones and Friends. Writer/Director Nicole Holofcener has also given us such winning fare as Walking and Talking and Lovely... [More]

Hoodwinked

Hoodwinked

Since our trip to Sundance had put us badly behind schedule on a handful of regular releases I decided to take the kids and hit the five-o-clock showing of Hoodwinked. I don't think either of them had been overly exposed to the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, and naturally wouldn't know Rashomon fro... [More]

Hostel

Hostel

Hostel is an immensely entertaining thriller from the much ballyhooed horror newcomer Eli Roth, the man responsible for the sporadically entertaining but terribly uneven Cabin Fever. I had a rather lukewarm reaction to that festering flesh-fest. With all the pre-release buzz surrounding it, expecta... [More]

Grizzly Man

Grizzly Man

Grizzly Man is a film that could be looked at hundred different ways. And it will, no doubt polarize (pun intended) those who believe in what Timothy Treadwell spent the last ten years of his life doing, and those who consider him to be an utter fool who would have eventually met with his grisly end...

The Producers

The Producers

Christmastime brought not one but two remakes about larger than life characters running amok in the streets of New York, one a worthy re-imagining "King Kong" and the other a stilted retread "The Producers" that gives it's own classic question "Where did we go right?" an all too easy answer - "Nowh...

Shopgirl

Shopgirl

Shopgirl represents the second time I've had the pleasure of viewing a naked Claire Danes in as many weeks. Having just recently rented Stage Beauty at the behest of Mark at Blockbuster (I mention Mark because, who knows, he might give me some free shit now), Mark was right about Stage Beauty, I enj...

Grandma's Boy

Grandma's Boy

Grandma's Boy is quite simply the funniest film made in the last ten years . . . if you're a chronic pothead. Taking a page from the likes of Harold and Kumar and Half-baked, this new comedy - which comes courtesy of the folks at Happy Madison Productions - lacks the heart and consistency of the swe...

The Squid and The Whale

The Squid and The Whale

The Squid and the Whale is the directorial debut of screenwriter Noah Baumbach, co-writer of last years Wes Anderson comedy The Life Aquatic. Baumbach draws upon his childhood experiences for this tale of a family coming apart at the seams and his inspiration makes for a film which is at once tragic... [More]

Brokeback Mountain

Brokeback Mountain

Brokeback Mountain is certainly a picture that will raise a few eyebrows, particularly if you're homophobic. But then, if you are, you probably wouldn't check this film out anyway. Perhaps you should. Even I was uncomfortable with a couple of scenes in this movie, and I'm not homophobic. As the f... [More]

Munich

Munich

Munich is something of a cold cinematic experience. Not the type of film you might expect from Steven Spielberg who, just six short months ago, delivered the summer blockbuster War of the Worlds. Munich is a much different kind of picture and easily the most non Spielbergian film of Spielberg's e... [More]

Cheaper By The Dozen 2

Cheaper By The Dozen 2

This follow up to the 2003 comedy about the expansive nuclear family of a down home minded football coach finds the family this time spending one last summer at a traditional lake haunt before the kids are all married and off upon lives of their own. The inspired pairing of Steve Martin and Bonnie H... [More]

Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek is a low budget horror import from Australia and it reminded me of nearly every genre flick I've ever seen, particularly the ones from the 70's (think Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes). This new thriller from writer/director Greg McLean made it's stateside debut at Sundan... [More]

Fun With Dick and Jane

Fun With Dick and Jane

Dick and Jane are in love, they're young, they're very successful - pretty much living the American dream. That is until one morning when they wake up to find they're living the American nightmare. Everything changes overnight when the enormous financial corporation that Dick (Jim Carrey) works for... [More]

Rumor Has It

Rumor Has It

Rumor has it that Rumor Has It had it's share of turbulance on it's way into this year's glut of Christmas fare. Screenwriter Ted Griffin (Matchstick Men) was set to direct his love letter to The Graduate, but was mysteriously replaced by Rob Reiner shortly after production began. Ironic in several... [More]
