[movie review]      Cineman Syndicate       4/5      Hero (2004)      "A feast for the eyes and the heart." [movie review]      Cineman Syndicate            About Adam (2001)      "A lesser film might have taken a darker and more obvious route with Adam's uncanny ability to be whoever people want him to be, but About Adam plays it with a warm and knowing wink of the eye." [movie review]      Citysearch            Amelie (2001)      "Tautou's sublime performance and the film's unshakable devotion to her make for a deeply satisfying experience." [movie review]      Citysearch            Bamboozled (2000)      "The most daring Hollywood film of the year." [movie review]      Citysearch            Bride of the Wind (2001)      "This almost laughably shallow film is ultimately more interested in Alma's outfits than anything else." [movie review]      Citysearch            Driven (2001)      "With all the style of a decade-old beer commercial, Driven careens from one confrontation to another." [movie review]      Citysearch            Final (2001)      "Comes off as a shoddily assembled, somewhat padded story that resembles a more buttoned-down Twelve Monkeys in its better moments and a high school video project in its worse ones." [movie review]      Citysearch            The Invisible Circus (2001)      "Alluring, but ultimately insubstantial." [movie review]      Citysearch            The King is Alive (2001)      "All of the performances are painfully human." [movie review]      Citysearch            Maléna (2000)      "Tells a hard and true, though nostalgic, story." [movie review]      Citysearch            Saving Grace (2000)      "Luckily, there's a bevy of great actors and gorgeous scenery adorning this oh-so-slight story." [movie review]      Citysearch            Turn It Up (2000)      "Even the soundtrack ... sounds like leftovers." [movie review]      Citysearch            When Brendan Met Trudy (2001)      "Limp, sketchy material." [movie review]      Citysearch       4/5      Before Sunset (2004)      "Fortunately, lightning has struck twice..." [dvd review]      Elites TV       5/5      Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)      "The last Stanley Kubrick film that had any real juice to it ... very simply the last word in Cold War satire." [dvd review]      Elites TV       4/5      The Iron Giant (1999)      "The kind of movie that Disney should be making, if they were still doing their job." [dvd review]      Elites TV            Shark Tale (2004)      "... has a few clever ideas and some impressive artwork but relies mostly on weary, recycled humor: it'll likely be a big hit." [movie review]      Elites TV            "L'Origine de la tendresse" and Other Tales (2008)      "A sprightly collection of Gallic short subjects that sprints from romantic froth to earnest documentation (almost) without skipping a beat." [movie review]      Film Journal International            2 Days In Paris (2007)      "Fortunately for all parties involved, Delpy goes beyond the mere comedy of embarrassment, though to be sure there is plenty of that as well." [movie review]      Film Journal International            American Blackout (2006)      "A raised-fist documentary on black voter disenfranchisement which loses some, but definitely not all, its punch by morphing into a paid ad for Cynthia McKinney." [movie review]      Film Journal International            American Gun (2006)      "...more like talking points for a film than a finished product. The effects of violence and the gun trade are examined, but little light is shed." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Angel-A (2007)      "Ultimately too slight a work on which to end a directorial career." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Beaufort (2008)      "Although the film is mindful of Milestone and Irvin's epics of squandered lives, its focus is tighter and less battle-charged, more Samuel Beckett than Oliver Stone." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)      "The same lack of personal distance that keeps Bell from scoring cheap shots against the anti-steroid hysterics is the same connection that powers the film's emotional take on America's cult of winning." [movie review]      Film Journal International            The Boss of it All (2007)      "It's more than clear what a goof this all is, and a curiously happy one at that." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Boy A (2008)      "...Garfield presents an indelible portrait of a young man trying to figure out how to continue his life in the face of haunting secrets and a world that doesn't want to let him forget it." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Brand Upon The Brain! (2006)      "A carnival funhouse somehow invested with a powerful emotionality." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Bubble (2006)      "What's unclear at the end, unfortunately, is why Soderbergh really bothered with this one." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Burning the Future: Coal in America (2008)      "Even considering its failings on a creative level, Burning the Future remains a film certainly worth seeing." [movie review]      Film Journal International            The Case of the Grinning Cat (2006)      "Marker brings a light, puckish touch." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Cassandra's Dream (2008)      "Allen's writing here is so lacking in vigor and purpose that much of the film seems to be on nothing more than autopilot, a faded and tissue-paper-thin retread from a filmmaker who should know better." [movie review]      Film Journal International       4.5/5      Children of Men (2006)      "This is how humanity ends ... annihilated not all at once, but piecemeal, slowly ground to bits between the codependent ideologies of terror and fascism." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Civic Duty (2007)      "A modest-sized but smart spooker." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Conventioneers (2006)      "Hardly as thought-provoking as it imagines itself to be, and barely as exciting as the televised convention coverage itself." [movie review]      Film Journal International            The Country Teacher (2009)      "A beautifully shot, would-be-penetrating drama about a closeted teacher in a small Czech village falls victim to a wandering plot and muffled characterizatio" [movie review]      Film Journal International            The Cult of the Suicide Bomber (2006)      "An intriguingly idiosyncratic and highly personal filmed essay on the phenomenon of militarized Orwellian death cultists." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Day Night Day Night (2007)      "Loktev still deserves much credit for taking on a potentially unrewarding project with such brio and skill." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Doc (2008)      "An unsparingly personal though also warmly charitable portrait of an impossible man." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Don't Come Knocking (2006)      "Don't Come Knocking is every bit the instant classic that Paris, Texas was, possibly more so." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Elegy (2008)      "Ultimately holds together as a smart meditation on mortality and love that uses its literary genesis as more of a boost than limitation." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Elite Squad (2008)      "A poor man's City of God that suggests the only answer to the problems of Brazil's slums are blazing guns wielded by a neo-fascist police force." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Excellent Cadavers (2006)      "The cockroach-like resilience of the Sicilian Mafia is examined with careful calculation in this passionate but ultimately resigned documentary." [movie review]      Film Journal International            The Exiles (1961)      "...one of the great under-seen cinema gems of the 1960s." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Exterminating Angels (2007)      "An act of nearly overwhelming self-congratulation ... like Wings of Desire directed by Zalman King." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Family Law (2006)      "There's a bright cheer to Daniel Burman's film that skirts but narrowly avoids sentimentality." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Fay Grim (2007)      "A fun whirligig of a thriller that comes dangerously close to killing the buzz from its idiosyncratic delights, but manages to survive (mostly) intact." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Flags of Our Fathers (2006)      "A worthy war film, the rare one that affords its soldiers a quiet grace without turning them into bronze statues." [movie review]      Film Journal International            The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)      "A dazzling, quietly heartrending work." [movie review]      Film Journal International            Following Sean (2006)      "Arlyck is as pleasant and self-effacing a guide as one could ask for through this meandering but still focused work." [movie review]      Film Journal International
