Who likes short shorts? We like short shorts
03.01.2010Rating: 3 Stars
Shutter Island
I’ll probably enjoy this more on repeat viewings because a) Leo, b) Marty, and c) Leo
02.20.2010The Last Station
Mostly worth it for the performances, as the various award nominations would suggest
01.26.2010The Young Victoria
A.K.A. What happens to the monarchy when you fail to provide an heir and a spare
12.18.2009The Informant!
I don’t feel disappointed by the rather misleading trailer, so that’s a plus
09.27.2009The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers
Deceit and lies in the Executive branch: how novel!
09.16.2009Defiance
I like World War II movies, I like Daniel Craig, and I like those things when combined. I can’t go wrong with this one
01.22.2009The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Doesn’t quite achieve the level of greatness it wants you to think it has
12.27.2008Frost/Nixon
Will end up as appropriate fare for American high school classrooms and The History Channel
12.06.2008Changeling
When I think of changelings, I can only picture Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
11.11.2008Religulous
Loses points for being just as fanatical as the religious zealots Maher wants to take down
09.09.2008Tropic Thunder
Funnier than I thought it would be, not as funny as I was told it would be
08.23.2008Kung Fu Panda
Jack Black doing the same thing he always does in movies, only with less swearing
06.07.2008Finishing The Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee
Kind of superficial but pretty hilarious nonetheless
11.14.2007Lust, Caution
Contrary to popular belief, there are things in this film other than sex scenes
11.10.2007Becoming Jane
Someone once told me that they thought I was “too modern” for Austen. I suspect this explains a lot
08.13.2007Rescue Dawn
Won’t ever make anyone’s Top Ten Vietnam Movies list, but still pretty decent
08.04.2007Fracture
If you watch too much Law and Order, this movie will be incredibly predictable and contain very few twists
04.21.2007Music and Lyrics
They could have called this Hugh Grant Vehicle and I still would have seen it
02.26.2007Volver
If you’re only going to see one Spanish-language film this year, go see Pan’s Labyrinth instead
01.29.2007Children of Men
I liked this movie better in pre-production when Gary Oldman was tied to the project
12.29.2006Blood Diamond
I’m pretty sure this movie will make no impact whatsoever on the sale of diamonds in the United States
12.08.2006You, Me and Dupree
There are worse things than Owen Wilson playing Owen Wilson over and over
08.07.2006The Devil Wears Prada
More awful bosses should take a page out of Streep’s book here. If you’re going to be awful, at least be eloquent about it
07.02.2006The Break Up
I heart Vince Vaughn with the vast majority of the fibres of my being, I really do
06.11.2006The Sentinel
Standard “omg I’ve been framed by the Secret Service” political intrigue pseudo thriller fair, which is to say it’s generally entertaining
