|
|
| Red
Considering how brilliantly Brian Cox does in blood-splattered roles, it's no wonder his performance steals this film.
|
|
| In Search of a Midnight Kiss
Beyond being a low-budget and beautifully realized black-and-white portrait of love, sex, and contemporary 20-something romance in Los Angeles, In Search of a Midnight Kiss is above all else the equivalent of an actors showcase on film.
|
|
| The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
With star Brendan Fraser returning as globe-trotting mummy conqueror Rick O'Connell, action-adventure-loving moviegoers should be in movie heaven, right?
|
|
| Swing Vote
With Swing Vote, Kevin Costner has found yet another role that fits like a glove — and there's not a baseball bat in sight.
|
|
| The X-Files: I Want to Believe
It's been six years since the hit Fox series The X-Files went off the air (after nine seasons) and 10 years since the release of the big-screen feature version.
|
|
| Brideshead Revisited
Pity the poor artists who decide to turn Evelyn Waugh's monumental, scopic novel into a two-hour film.
|
|
| Boy A
It's not considered sophisticated to criticize a film as "depressing" or "not entertaining." Most provincial is the assertion that its subject matter is simply dull.
|
|
| Step Brothers
Is it worth tying yourself up in knots simply to keep from giggling? The film's oafish charm is reasonably infectious, and everyone involved seems to be having a blast.
|
|
| Baghead
In their lo-fi feature debut, the Duplass brothers used naturalistic dialogue and a meandering narrative to bring bracingly authentic emotions to the forefront -- no special effects, A-list stars, or megabucks budget required.
|
|
| The Dark Knight
Believe the hype: The Dark Knight is not only perhaps the best comic-book adaptation ever taken to film, it's also one of the best movies of the year.
