Bush era, we have The Abandoned." [movie review]      Cinepinion       B      Adoration (2009)      "From any objective standard, [Egoyan's] films...are awful. So why are they so damn appealing?" [movie review]      Cinepinion            Afterschool (2009)      "Palely imitative...which no amount of Bela Tarr pacing, no cloak of arthouse legitimacy, can hide. This **** is a sham." [movie review]      The L Magazine       B-      Alexandra (2008)      "A stern and somber lesson that mostly goes straight over my non-Russian head...for international audiences, Alexandra slides into thematic esotericism." [movie review]      Cinepinion            Alien Trespass (2009)      "A Technicolor photocopy pastiching pastiche. It fetishizes not the 1950's but its empty pop culture signifiers. And as such, it doesn't just signify nothing--it's insignificant." [movie review]      Cinepinion       C+      Alpha Dog (2007)      "Though a pointless orgy of sex, drugs, vulgarity and violence, there's admittedly something alluring about Cassavetes' stylized vision of contemporary teenage debauchery" [movie review]      Cinepinion            An Education (2009)      "Another clich-soused bildungsscreenplay. So, that on screen it's anything other than an object of infuriation is a near-miracle, one that owes its...lack of utter failure to its stellar cast and its extra-Hollywood pedigree." [movie review]      The L Magazine            Antichrist (2009)      "For a while it's wonderful...grappling with the contours of grief, the effects of toddler suicide, the limits of psychotherapy and the dynamics of marriage. And then Charlotte Gainsbourg has to spoil it all by doing something stupid..." [movie review]      The L Magazine       B+      Apocalypto (2006)      "Apocalypto seems meant as a parable for what happens to the unChristianized savage--is it supposed to serve as a warning for secular humanists with their rampant abortions and callous stem cell research?" [movie review]      Cinepinion       A      The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)      "Dominik's film may be lengthy, but it's never digressive nor superfluous; he knows exactly where he's been going the entire time." [movie review]      Cinepinion       B+      Atonement (2007)      "It's a gift to the senses, with the lush feel of a grand, old-fashioned period piece. Thankfully, however, it replaces that genre's characteristic stuffiness with pulsating vitality." [movie review]      Cinepinion       1/5      Australia (2008)      "Luhrmann is...a parodist. And this is his Epic Movie." [movie review]      The L Magazine       B-      Away We Go (2009)      "Jim and Pam: The Movie" [movie review]      Cinepinion
