Archive: "Raising Helen" (from June 2004)
It can get a little lonely working the movie beat, and reviewing bad movies is a particularly solitary business. It’s not hard finding someone to accompany you to, say, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but when the… -
Archive: "The Bourne Supremacy" (from July 2004)
The Bourne Identity was a surprise sleeper hit a couple of summers back, and no wonder; unlike most of its competition, it was smart, slick, and managed to entertain without insulting the intelligence of its audience. It… -
Archive: "Derailed" (from November 2005)
I thought of this film for the first time since, oh, writing this review over the previous weekend, when I took in "1408", the new film from Mikael Håfström. Ah, memories. Here’s the thing about me and twists in movies: … -
Archive: "Ocean's 12" (from December 2004)
Goddamn, but this movie is fun. Ocean’s Twelve may be the most creatively bankrupt of ideas—a sequel to a remake, putting its originality on par with The Mummy Returns. But its creators (director Steven Soderbergh, scree… -
Archive: "Down and Dirty Pictures" (book review) (from January 2004)
Apologies for the lack of updates recently; we've had family in town all week, so I haven't made it out to the movies or watched much of anything. Will see "Knocked Up" this weekend, however. In the meantime, here's what… -
Archive: "The Best Films of the Nineties" (from early 2000)
So here's a thing that I posted online, between published gigs, at the beginning of 2000. I think this list still holds up, so I guess my tastes haven't changed in the last seven years. (Jesus! Seven years!) Now that the… -
Archive: "Spiderman 2" (from July 2004)
Uh, settle down, America. First of all, I hope all of you did your patriotic duty and responded to the merciless advertising and cross-promotional campaigns and saw Spider-Man 2 over the Fourth of July weekend. It was, a… -
Archive: "Something's Gotta Give" (from December 2003)
There were seven commercials preceding Sunday evening's screening of Something's Gotta Give. Seven. Seven advertisements. That's more than on television. Perhaps that's part of the reason the movie that followed these se… -
Archive: "Bad Boys II" (from July 2003)
I usually work on weekdays, and had lucked into a Monday off when I saw Bad Boys II. I mention this not because it’s terribly interesting, but because the “playing hooky and seeing a movie” mentality (in addition to the … -
Archive: "In Praise of Sarah Polley" (from November 1999)
If there’s been a better performance in any movie this year than Sarah Polley’s in ‘Guinevere’, well, I haven’t seen it. At risk of sounding too academic, watching Polley in this movie is like a little lesson …
