DOWN WITH LOVE is a sweet little muddle buoyed along by its effervescence and its unflagging cheer. Its hard to dislike, no matter how much you want to, no matter how much you should. Like last years FAR FROM HEAVEN, though not in the same league, this is an homage to an earlier style of… Read More »
FINDING NEMO
After seeing FINDING NEMO, you just gotta ask yourself, is Pixar capable of making a bad film? Or even a mediocre one? Whether a serendipitous confluence of talent or a sign that there is some divine being at work in our world, either way, the answer, I think, must be no. There is a touch… Read More »
MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING
I love Cinderella stories and MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING qualifies for a couple of reasons. First of all, its the story of an ugly duckling, played by its writer Nia Vardalos, who morphs into the princess bride. Second, its a sweet little indie that beat the odds and an all-but non-existent advertising budget to… Read More »
HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE
You can just picture it. Someone comes up with this great idea to make a fun, hip flick about cops in Hollywood full of cameos by stars that ends with a chase down Hollywood Boulevard. And one day theyll make that film. In the meantime we have HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE, a film so bad that the… Read More »
MEN IN BLACK II
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 »
