     (2002)      "It's simply incapable of overcoming its leading man's leaden performance." [movie review]      Matinee Magazine   
  
     (2001)      "Those interested in learning about the delightful home of Osama bin Laden would be well served checking out Kandahar." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "In the competition for cinema's worst genre, the Quirky British Comedy About Eccentric Countryfolk Learning Valuable Lessons In Outrageous Circumstances truly has no rival." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
B+
     (2005)      "Captures the elusive, entrancing sway that the finest movies hold over our lives." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
     (1995)      "The best of Chris Eigman's mid-1990s efforts, an outcome due more to Baumbach's poised direction than to the actor's typically irritating gloomy-sarcastic shtick." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (1995)      "Charts the aimlessness and ennui of four insufferable, maturation-adverse college grads with relaxed realism." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
C
     (2004)      "Soulless." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
B+
     (1956)      "Plays out like some sort of slow-motion fever dream." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
A
     (1977)      "A tale so smoothly and effortlessly constructed that the boundaries between the staged and the authentic seemingly cease to exist." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
     (1956)      "Stanley Kubrick's masterful manipulation of chronology brings an excruciating sense of doom to The Killing, a classical noir about a carefully threaded heist unraveled by the scheming of a fiendish femme." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
1.5/4
     (2006)      "Arranges its easy targets like a gunman lining up beer cans to shoot." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "Antoine Fuqua’s unremarkably competent direction never elevates the material above second-rate Braveheart schlock." [movie review]      Slant Magazine

C+
     (2005)      "Fitfully extraordinary yet largely lackluster." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "King of California proves light on its feet but often less funny or wise than it purports to be, its air of self-satisfaction partially interfering with its genuine insights." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Benefits immeasurably from a cast of colorful supporting players, as well as a taut narrative that builds to a surprisingly tense climax." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
B+
     (1990)      "Deliciously indecent." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
.5/4
     (2007)      "Take some notes, Dubya: Jamie Foxx has the anti-terrorism tactics you've been craving." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "A film about holiness beset by a pedestrian spirit." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
A-
     (2005)      "Both leisurely and breathtakingly immediate." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
     (2004)      "Captures authentic truth by refusing to lionize its far-from-perfect subject." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "A silly, self-reflexive lark oozing spitfire sarcasm and nonchalant cool." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (1955)      "Never was Mike Hammer's name more fitting than in Kiss Me Deadly, Robert Aldrich's blisteringly nihilistic noir." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (1947)      "Superior to the 1995 Nicolas Cage remake, but only because of the wild-eyed Widmark's cackling jackal." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (1947)      "A jumbled piece of cinematic crime fiction that's visually elegant but regularly confused about its own point of view." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
C-
     (2007)      "The type of film one would expect from Marc Forster -- banal, trite and apt to ramrod simplistic symbolism down viewers' throats." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
B-
     (1981)      "Harris embodies his character with such conviction that the character's struggle to retain the integrity of his dream ultimately exudes a modest poignancy." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Relatability is certainly a key component of Knocked Up's inherent appeal." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "The promise that Alex Proyas showed with 1998's Dark City is only very sporadically evident in Knowing, the director's second sci-fi saga." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3.5/5
     (2005)      "succeeds largely on the basis of its mesmerizing surface" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com

C
     (1983)      "The only real fun comes from guessing which cinematic predecessor it’ll rip off next." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "Absurd insanity that would make even Jackie Chan gasp" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "Kung Fu Panda is generally content to simply coast along on a few Zen platitudes and regularly scheduled Po pratfalls." [movie review]      Slant Magazine
