    Nicolas Cage is a joy to watch, and Werner Herzog is a brilliant storyteller.
  1. Ultimately, The Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future represents one of the sternest examples of sacrificing the heart of a film for the demands of a specific message. Every genuinely compelling moment is forced to become an object of one-dimensional dogma. And all of the film’s latent wonder is sacrificed at the altar of hollow reductionism.

    See this film and laugh your ass off, and in between your tears of joy learn the true cause of racial and ethnic division.
  2. By turns chilling, depressing, yet guardedly optimistic documentary.

    I couldn't escape the fact that Revolutionary Road seems like a really, really good episode of "Mad Men." There's smoking, drinking, cheating and like the excellent TV show, the lure of a bigger better deal always rules the day. But the film differs in many ways once you get beyond surface appearances.
  3. Does it herald a renaissance in the action genre? Not really, but it's a welcome throwback to good old-fashioned, '80s-style lunkhead violence, and no one takes a punch, kick, elbow, or bullet quite like John McClane.
  4. Welsh director Prano Bailey-Bond’s feature debut, Censor, is one of those horror movies that sticks with you well after the credits roll. That’s because it doesn’t follow the typical horror movie formula.
  5. Take the time to ingest what the stakes really are. Enough people are content to watch the planet burn. This film is about those who oppose, and we should be grateful that such courage still exists.
  6. It's an excellent date film, but it won't change your life.
  7. For those who never heard of "The Goldbergs" and its amazing star, Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg will provide a special introduction to a special person.
  8. You Go to My Head is a warped and lush tale of obsession, deception, and romance that’ll certainly go to your head. It’ll just take some time.

    A wonderful film, and one with vast appeal. Giving us everything we have come to expect from our fashion-centered programming and more, we are left with the sense that we have uncovered a mystery.
  9. Oddly engaging and has me wishing I could spend a week observing Jeannie, Lauren, and Merrill...you know, without a camera as a mediator.
  10. Giamatti has his hands full trying to keep us from thinking about Burgess Meredith.

    More than just a crime thriller, The Accidental Getaway Driver is a melancholic journey through the quiet corners of lost souls.

    Visually speaking, Fletcher’s film is wonderful to watch. The fantastical choices he occasionally makes is grounded and never pull you out of the film.
  11. For my money, the movie should have given us more of Macy the magical loser and less of Macy the stud muffin.
  12. Gallo transcends the medium in a manner I only associate with David Lynch. It's brilliantly spooky.

    An endearing view of a past time and filmmaking style – think Corman with a heart – Eating Raoul offers a bare Woronov, a prime slice of sexy-ugly that can never be duplicated, just like this film.

    If FrontRunners doesn't teach you something about politics, at least it will entertain you.
  13. Roh
    Roh slowly builds to the cathartic release of scares genre aficionados crave. But, those watching will be invested thanks to the strong writing and characterizations, stunning score, and beautiful cinematography.

    A smooth ride boils down to a claptrap, 'Usual Suspects'-style finale.

    Overall, Norton's effect and Watts' able portrayal are not enough to move the misogyny of the narrative.
  14. A warm hug of a film, The Outside Story may occasionally stumble and resemble an extended TV pilot, but – largely thanks to its charming protagonist – is bound to (however briefly) reaffirm your faith in humanity.
  15. The film's effectiveness is bolstered by juxtaposed scenes of fat and happy Americans and Europeans slurping up frozen chai lattes and clucking about how big Starbuck's is getting with scenes of children going into "therapeutic feeding centers" in the region where Starbuck's gets its coffee because they can't afford to by corn.

    I love love love love loved Cold Souls. That might be because I love love love Paul Giamatti.
  16. How to Build a Girl is an incredibly fun movie.
  17. Four Quartets is a special experience.
  18. Morris utilizes psychedelic neon colors, bold titles, and a hallucinatory score to emphasize the craziness of her life. He has devilish fun piecing together Joanna’s fractured past. It just feels like, in his search for Truth, he’s lost his way a little this time.
  19. With a little more filmmaking flair, or drive, or a fresh perspective, East of the Mountains could’ve been a real gem. Instead, it’s a decent little character study about a man facing death, worth a look for the magnificent central performance alone.
