If you liked MEN IN BLACK, you will love MEN IN BLACK II because, and Im not exaggerating much here, it is EXACTLY THE SAME MOVIE. Its another tale of the super-secret agency whose agents, all male, even the dogs, wear sober black suits and keep the rest of us from finding out that not… Read More »
ALEX & EMMA
There was a time when romantic comedies were just that. Love stories that were funny and here I’m thinking along the lines of BRINGING UP BABY, which may be the most glorious example of that genre, not to mention its sub-genre, the screwball comedy. A triple threat. Even THE FRONT PAGE, the Cary Grant and… Read More »
CHARLIE’S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE
<P class=MsoNormal style=”MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt”><SPAN style=”FONT-FAMILY: Verdana”>The nice thing about CHARLIES ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE is that it laughs at itself. And, because it doesnt take itself seriously, we get to be in on the joke. Its a flight of hard-body fantasy served up with a healthy dose of self-mockery and some slick action sequences.… Read More »
KM 0
It’s Madrid, it’s summer, and the only thing soaring higher than the temperature are the hormones of an unlikely band of strangers who are about to become much more in Juan Luis Iborra and Yolanda Barcia Serrano’s frothy and very sexy comedy, KM O. There’s nothing too deep here, unless you count the power of… Read More »
LEGALLY BLONDE 2 : RED, WHITE AND BLONDE
The reason LEGALLY BLONDE II: RED, WHITE, AND BLONDE works is the same reason the original film did, Reese Witherspoon as Elle Wood, the fluffy blonde with the serious brains. She’s still a fashionista viewing the world through the rosy glow reflected from her pink wardrobe, but this time, having conquered Harvard Law School, she’s… Read More »
UPTOWN GIRLS
UPTOWN GIRLS is remarkable for its monumental ineptitude. Students of film may well study it one day, mouths agape in wonder, as an example of what not to do when creating a narrative. It wants to be a heartwarming comedy, but it is neither. Instead, it is an irksome and depressing tale that takes just… Read More »
MAMBO ITALIANO
MAMBO ITALIANO makes such a good start before it devolves into the bland humor found in the type of second-tier type of sitcom that its hero, Angelo, dreams of writing. The story begins with Angelo (Luke Kirby) on the phone to the Gay Hotline, spilling his family history to a volunteer who can barely get… Read More »
NEW SUIT
NEW SUIT is a knowing yet gentle parable about the evils of show biz. Specifically, the film biz as practiced in the mythical land of tinsel and hype. A place where there is so much style that no one there noticed that substance departed, tail between its legs, many, many moons ago. Which is why… Read More »
MOSTLY MARTHA
As Martha, the heroine-chef of the German film, MOSTLY MARTHA, explains it, she’s not obsessive. She’s precise. Being the chef at a trendy restaurant in Hamburg requires split-second timing and an attention to detail that to the untrained eye might seem obsessive, but isn’t. At least according to Martha. Of course, she’s explaining this to her therapist, the… Read More »
SCHOOL OF ROCK
It’s not that THE SCHOOL OF ROCK blazes any new trails cinematically. It’s a strictly by the numbers story, but with Jack Black as its hyperkinetic star, it’s a joy to watch. He’s Dewey Finn, a rock musician recently tossed from his band and about to be tossed from the apartment he shares with old… Read More »
