The Greatest Showman

By Kristen Lopez
December 19, 2017
in :  Film, Film Reviews

The Greatest Showman will work best with musical purists, those who aren’t turned off by spontaneous bursts of song and an overly sentimentalized view of history.

Logan

By Peter Tabakis
February 28, 2017
in :  Film, Film Reviews, Recommended

A jarringly profane, big-budget bloodbath, Logan ultimately pokes and prods at the nature of this mortal coil with a humane touch.

Eddie the Eagle

By Peter Tabakis

in :  Film, Film Reviews

With its uplifting message sagging under a half-baked screenplay and a cheeseball soundtrack, it feels like we’re being offered a reflexive, feature-length apology.

Chappie

March 5, 2015
in :  Film, Film Reviews

[xrr rating=2.75/5]District 9 opened some major doors for director Neill Blomkamp. His 2009 debut feature not only grossed seven times more than it cost to make, but it took advantage of the first-time expanded Oscar field to snag a Best Picture nomination. What’s more, the young director who has cited Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley as his all-time favorite character from his …

in :  Film, Film Reviews

[xrr rating=3.25/5]Do we live in the Golden Age of comic book movies? Each summer, more and more superheroes hit the screen, the multi-plex as crowded with mutants, aliens and villains as one of Marvel’s mega-crossover storylines. According to a recent article on Screen Rant, Marvel Studios may even have its films mapped out until the year 2028. I will be …

Les Misérables

By David Harris
December 19, 2012
in :  Film, Film Reviews

[xrr rating=2.0/5]In 1990, director John Maybury directed what would become one of the most influential music videos of all time. Shot mostly in Paris, Maybury recorded his subject in a tight close-up, his camera lingering on her face as she lip-synched, emoting anger that eventually gave way to tears. Although Maybury threw in some interstitial shots of the singer wandering …

Revisit: The Prestige

By Danny Djeljosevic
February 13, 2012
in :  Features, Film, Revisit-Rediscover

Revisit is a series of reviews highlighting past releases that now deserve a second look. Christopher Nolan’s films entertain viewers with their well-dressed neo-noir style and narrative complexity, but below the surface they’re also about creation – often at the mercy of near self-destructive obsession. Just as a brief sampling, Memento’s Leonard Shelby writes a story to himself as part …
