Metallica Through the Never
It is indeed a trip—an hour-and-a-half journey into a sonic maelstrom full of angst and anger, cacophony and coffins.
Don Jon
Don Jon tells us pornography is a terrible, addictive thing—while continuing to gawk and grin at that very terrible, addictive thing.
Baggage Claim
Baggage Claim flies high with its message of matrimonial commitment—then gets grounded by premarital sexual content.
Prisoners
Innocents are in danger. Evil is afoot and running wild. An angry “hero” attempts to beat the truth out of his handiest target. It’s a tried-and-tired Hollywood cliché … that doesn’t quite roll easily off this movie’s tongue.
Rush
Such is the power of Howard and Morgan’s storytelling that viewers are simultaneously attracted to and repelled by each.
Battle of the Year
Every year, the best b-boy crews—practitioners of the art of extreme breakdancing—gather from around the world in France to determine who’s the best in a discipline that began on the urban streets of America. But it’s been a long time since America actually won.
Enough Said
James Gandolfini’s last movie makes middle-aged dating look … exactly as difficult as it really is.
The Family
Everyone’s got a story. We’re all central characters in our own narratives filled with drama, action, passion and comedy. Even mobsters have stories. Just sometimes not very good ones.
Insidious: Chapter 2
Another chapter of insidious disputes with deleterious demons. Didn’t we already read about this in Chapter 1?
Riddick
Riddick, as a person, isn’t all bad. Mostly bad, maybe. But not all bad. If pressed, I guess we could say the same thing about Riddick, the movie. It’s not all bad. Just mostly.
