Review: RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET, Cute Corporate Propaganda
Cute, colorful and cloying corporate propaganda, Ralph Breaks the Internet is occasionally amusing and insightful, but, more often, it's simply noxious, lacking any imaginative reach. Really, it's baffling, because Wreck-It Ralph swam in nostalgia for what it portrayed as the...

Vancouver 2018 Review: THE SISTERS BROTHERS
The Sisters Brothers is an excellent movie, but it is being marketed in all the wrong ways. I suppose if it results in a financial success, then all's well that ends well. I worry, though, that once general audiences see...
Sundance 2018 Review: HAL, A Great Director of the 1970s Gets His Due
The so-called “New Hollywood” of the 1970s was driven by a number of filmmakers, many of them film school trained, who broke with many established modes of production and benefited from the opportunities afforded them by the collapse of the...
Blu-ray Review: TALE OF TALES Is Lofty, But Is it Good?
Directed by Matteo Garrone (Gomorrah), Tale of Tales was nominated for Cannes' prestigious Palm d'Or and many other awards, but does that make it a good film? I'm on the fence about this feature that follows the tales of three tales,...
New Trailer For THE LOBSTER On Eve Of USA Release
After a long lap around the festival circuit, from Cannes to TIFF and a commercial release in most of Europe at this point, The Lobster, the latest bit of satiric weirdness from Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, ALPS) nears its domestic release...

Review: ENTERTAINMENT Embraces An Absurdity And Melancholy That Is Extraordinary To Behold
Many would say there are two distinct poles to cinema-going. There are those times when you want something warm and familiar. It's comfort food you can share with your family. Not too sweet or sour, not too heavy. And then...

Aubrey Plaza Is Feeling A Bit Peckish In Trailer For Zombie RomCom LIFE AFTER BETH
Beth (Aubrey Plaza) was dead but she's back now. And that's good news, right? Right? Her parents (John C Reilly and Molly Shannon) certainly want to think so, as does her bereaved boyfriend (Dane DeHaan) but ... well ... be...
Review: WRECK-IT RALPH Is a Warp Zone to the Next Level
Whichever Disney employee said, "Let's do Toy Story but with video game characters," I hope he or she got a big fat raise, if only to compensate for the seething jealousy coming from co-workers kicking themselves for not thinking...
Blu-ray Review: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN

Fantastic Fest 2011: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN Review
We Need to Talk About Kevin is a stunning piece of work and a tour de force for director Lynne Ramsay and Tilda Swinton. The film approaches a subject which is very hard to broach, and does it in a...
