[movie review]      Cinepinion       A      Ratatouille (2007)      "Since cooking in itself is a form of artistry, it makes a nice allegory for art in general...at root, Ratatouille's the story of a boy with an artistic sensibility that figuratively and literally separates him from his family." [movie review]      Cinepinion       B+      The Reckless Moment (1949)      "The Reckless Moment is essentially about love and the the redemptive acts of seflessness it can inspire, but it's also about teaching a woman to know her place and the chaos that occurs when the nuclear family unit is splintered." [movie review]      Cinepinion       B      Red (2008)      "It's about a lot more than that murdered mutt...Red exposes the dark side of vigilantism and as such comes conspicuously from this post-9/11 era of perpetual war." [movie review]      Cinepinion       A-      Reprise (2008)      "Reprise does not allow its characters to follow an easy arc from puerility to maturity, even questioning the possibility of whether such an arc, simple or difficult, exists." [movie review]      Cinepinion       B+      Rescue Dawn (2007)      "Deiter's effective individualism can't help but smell of ugly patriotism...but Herzog is careful not to allow his film to devolve into the jingoistic, as it's a time when making heroic war movies is nothing short of irresponsible." [movie review]      Cinepinion       B      Retribution (2006)      "Retribution, coming in the era of the Iraq War, serves to show...how, when one sees violence and turns a blind eye, they become complicit and culpable." [movie review]      Cinepinion       3/5      Revanche (2009)      "Instead of a bloody political thriller, something quiet, complex and unexpected emerges: a moral tragi-tale sans heroes and villains." [movie review]      The L Magazine            Revolutionary Road (2008)      "Despite all the shouting, the red-rimmed eyes, the furious seething and spitting, Revolutionary Road is a largely emotionless film, too often a hurried, Hollywood-slick vision of malicious marital misery." [movie review]      The L Magazine       C+      Right at Your Door (2007)      "Right at Your Door...feels like a paid, public announcement from the Plastics Industry Council about the miraculous impermeable properties of Saran Wrap, with a bit about the amazing binding powers of duct tape tossed in for good measure." [movie review]      Cinepinion       3/5      Rudo and Cursi (2009)      "A makeshift-family affair: the Spanish-language version of the Apatow Dumpling Gang's excuse-for-a-vacation Forgetting Sarah Marshall, or the Soderberghers' excuse-to-hang-out Ocean's series." [movie review]      The L Magazine       B-      The Ruins (2008)      "Apparently our greatest enemy is evolution itself. (Especially when it's taught in schools?)" [movie review]      Cinepinion            Rushmore (1998)      "Still the L train era's signature film...the missing link between '90s slackerism and aughties hipsterism." [movie review]      Cinepinion
