| 47 T3 | Rose Red (2002) - May 19, 2013
"A strong first act, but the haunting itself is standard issue. Watching it in hour-long chunks allowed it to keep my interest well enough despite some very slow parts. Dr. Miller drops out distractingly, but the actor died so I can't blame them (Rose Red's curse?). Loved King's cameo."
|
| 45 T3 | Bernie (2012) - May 10, 2013
"An excellent role for Black whose musical performances are delightful. I was hoping for some solid black humor, but this is a "comedy" because it treats the material lightly; I would only call one scene funny (upselling a casket). It's unfortunate that many of the interviews—which dominate the film—are dull and repetitive."
|
| 76 T7 | The Hunger Games (2012) - May 05, 2013
"They didn't exactly rush through the opening material, but we didn't really get a day in the life of district 12. We just saw what it looked like. The quick shots and stoic, unimaginative dialogue hurt the opening but were appropriate for the game, so the lynchpin was solid. Disappointingly, they traded the book's subtle district 11 bread scene for a riot. "
|
| 86 T8 | Some Like It Hot (1959) - Apr 13, 2013
"Depends pretty heavily on gender-confusion jokes, but as far as I'm concerned, these have been old since Shakespeare. The other gags stand on their own to make a solid comedy. The deliberately over-acted characters are very enjoyable; Osgood positively steals the show. "
|
| 89 T9 | The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) - Dec 21, 2012
"If you're just looking for an action film, you'll have some boring stretches, but as a Tolkien fan I am now glad we're getting three films since it looks like all major events can be included. There are significant changes, but nothing I find unforgivable."
|
| 60 T5 | Big Brown Eyes (1936) - Jul 18, 2012
"Pretty standard stuff, reasonably well-executed. Importantly it's better than I expected from a 10-pack of unknown Grant films."
|
| 19 T1 | Cars 2 (2011) - Jun 25, 2012
"A high-budget toy commercial."
|
| 88 T9 | Devil (2010) - Jun 23, 2012
"The opening sequence and floor-polisher scene are wonderfully ominous. The narration, religious discussions, and myriad backstories all distract from an otherwise solid, unique thriller."
|
| 25 T1 | Stargate (1994) - Jun 17, 2012
"A promising beginning but nothing else."
|
| 30 T2 | Knock on Wood (1954) - Jun 04, 2012
""Walter Mitty" without the delightful fantasies to keep it interesting."
