70 T2 The Left Handed Gun (1958) - May 21, 2013
"Existential angst in a western setting leads to mixed results. Some of the images are strong, but Newman's performance is average, swinging to-and-fro from emotions with a James Dean-like zeal, without having the overarching pathos to back it up. "
80 T4 The Crimson Kimono (1959) - May 20, 2013
90 T7 Mud (2013) - May 19, 2013
"I'm not from the south but I've always been fascinated by that area, especially the way its portrayed in movies like this one, where the kids are given free reign and EVERYBODY is still driving trucks they bought in the 80s, suggesting that in the south, time does not pass the way it does in the rest of the country. You know what I mean? Matthew McConaughey is great. "
70 T2 Night Shift (1982) - May 18, 2013
"Ladies and gentlemen, MICHAEL KEATON!!!! He's absolutely brilliant in this one, folks. He IS Night Shift. Also, I've always had a crush on Shelley Long and well this delivered. Henry Winkler is good too and I definitely loved how 80s it was, so it has that going for it. Michael Keaton Michael Keaton Michael Keaton. How the hell have I not seen Beetlejuice yet? Damn."
80 T4 Showgirls (1995) - May 17, 2013
"This is an interesting one. I can't figure out whether it was supposed to be a great satire disguised as an over-the-top movie all about showing skin, but I don't know if it matters. I'm starting to think of it in terms of a dream/nightmare Lynchian kind of structure and that just makes me like it more. A fascinating piece of work, to be sure."
95 T9 Act of Violence (1948) - May 16, 2013
"Should be better known. A noir about pursuit, lies and the decisions we're sometimes forced to make in the most harrowing of situations. Robert Ryan's performance is pure terror, the sound of his limp unmistakable as the coming of danger. The ending is unbelievably bleak."
95 T9 Mickey One (1965) - May 15, 2013
"A bizarre gem. Definitely the scariest movie ever made about a comedian. A lot of cool visual touches - there's a fade between two shots that has Mickey looking at himself on fire that's just mindblowing. Warren Beatty is, of course, awesome. As a straight man, I'll say he just looks fucking great in this movie. Great soundtrack."
70 T2 I Shot Jesse James (1949) - May 14, 2013
"Didn't really get into this one, but I appreciate it, I like John Ireland and it's got some cool touches - namely, a match that gets flicked across a room and the wonderfully ironic finale."
85 T5 Happiness (1998) - May 13, 2013
"The quality of the different stories varies. The crown jewel here is the pedophile (definitely the weirdest sentence I have ever typed). That story is just brilliant: disturbing and depressing, but also uncomfortably funny. Dylan Baker is superb. Solondz shows us the things that, deep down, we know exist but refuse to accept. "
70 T2 The Great Gatsby (2013) - May 12, 2013
"Don't really know what to make of this. Loud, brash and boozy with strong performances (Tobey Maguire is one of the most underrated actors out there) and an ingenious soundtrack (who gon stop me hah), but also a horrible framing device and some frustrating visual choices that go completely against my sensibilities. It basically is a mess and it knows it is a mess and I can't figure out if that's a good thing or not. "
