Recent Rankings
45 T4 Ghost (1984) - May 19, 2013
"Painstakingly done, and to some extent gets across the strangeness that comes of longs hours of being awake at night, but seems more of an unsuccessful mishmash than other works I've seen by this filmmaker."
60 T6 Zone (1995) - May 19, 2013
"I know of no filmmaker who works harder or more systematically to conjure and convey the photographic uncanny."
50 T4 Spacy (1981) - May 19, 2013
"Very cleverly and carefully constructed, and it does generate an odd sensation. Ten minutes is plenty."
55 T5 The Moon (1994) - May 16, 2013
"Experimental short that does succeed in conjuring an eerie and uncanny feeling over its six and a half minutes, in which the idea is perhaps that the lunar presence represents the operation of some mysterious force beneath or behind the surface of things, that could conceivably be pushing us off course somehow. That's as much as I got."
25 T1 Absence of the Good (1999) - May 15, 2013
"Baldwin delivers a performance of impressively Bressonian inexpressiveness in the role of a cop who quotes Saint Augustine on the problem of evil."
50 T4 The Rainmaker (1997) - May 14, 2013
"An attack on the deficiencies of the American health system that uses the device of a battle between good and evil lawyers to expose the endemic corruption of the medical insurance industry. It does not quite manage to suggest, however, that this corruption is systemic, and hence that an overhaul of the health system is necessary, let alone advance the proposition that advanced industrial societies have an obligation to guarantee adequate health care to all their members, regardless of wealth."
40 T3 Morvern Callar (2002) - May 13, 2013
"Didn't work for me, and I came away with a nagging suspicion that it is not very genuine."
60 T6 Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) - May 13, 2013
"The themes of sacrifice and loyalty may be well-worn, and this is certainly rollicking adventure rather than any real journey "into darkness," conceptual or otherwise, but the filmmakers nevertheless deserve credit for the effort expended on most of the major aspects of storytelling, especially when compared with most blockbuster fare. Perhaps the climax lacked grandeur, although Kirk's concluding soliloquy notably contained an obvious Obama reference, in the form of "that's not who we are.""
45 T4 Swimming Pool (2003) - May 12, 2013
"Atmospheric for a while, but once it gets going it becomes clear it is not so clever and not so interesting as the filmmakers no doubt hoped it would seem, veering off into a bit of hysteria, then settling down for a "reveal" that is quite predictable and rather dull."
65 T7 Tyrannosaur (2011) - May 11, 2013
"Downbeat tale set in a very bleak milieu (England), aided by admirable performances."
