Ballad
of a Small Player
|
The movie ultimately becomes a bit too
self-important for its own good.
|
Tron:
Ares
|
Tron: Ares isn't trying or doing anything
revolutionary, but as a showcase of vibrant effects, the film does just enough.
|
Roofman
|
It's easy enough to like
the guy at his best, especially as played by a charming and vulnerable Tatum,
but it's also easy to see what he apparently cannot perceive about himself.
|
|
Kiss
of the Spider Woman
|
While the musical elements can be and increasingly
become a distraction, they're not enough to undercut what works quite well in
the film.
|
The
Woman in Cabin 10
|
The whole affair just feels like a lot of waiting for our main
character to piece together everything.
|
A
House of Dynamite
|
It puts
forth questions we need to be asking and answers we don't want to hear.
|
|
The
Perfect Neighbor
|
Knowing what will happen, this becomes increasingly terrifying.
|
After
the Hunt
|
The only grounding of the story of After
the Hunt is uncertainty.
|
John
Candy: I Like Me
|
This isn't a portrait of Candy the actor, in
other words. It is a testament to the man behind the scenes.
|
|
If
I Had Legs I'd Kick You
|
The whole film has a nightmarish quality to
it.
|
Vicious
|
The movie just becomes a game with unclear rules.
|
Urchin
|
It shows a lot of insight about the main character.
|
|
Deathstalker
|
As a
playground, this basic story and world make for a fine match for Kostanski's
imagination, but the story is so, well, basic that it too often gets in the way.
|
There
Was, There Was Not
|
There Was, There Was
Not becomes an intimate look at lives in war and, ultimately, a personal
testimony of what it means for a country to disappear.
|
Fairyland
|
Writer/director Andrew Durham simply observes these characters and the
cycles in which they find themselves stuck.
