" Devil possesses a dramatic power akin to watching a big train wreck, but it’s an elaborate Rube Goldberg device with no real heart at its center." -- culturevulture.net

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)88%

" If the movie was meant to render sympathy to Brisseau, it only reinforces how monstrously repugnant he is. The audacity to suggest his complete innocence makes the whole thing seem like black comedy, only the core sentiment is not funny." -- culturevulture.net

Exterminating Angels (2007)47%

" Every stone, every piece of fabric, every pushed-up bosom is fetishized to ludicrous extremes. Zhang apparently wants to dazzle the eyes with the visuals, but Curse is one of the gaudiest looking movies ever made." -- culturevulture.net

Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)65%

" Exiled is compromised by the feeling one gets that Johnnie To has been watching too many westerns." -- culturevulture.net

" Every scene in the new 'King Kong' strains to be the biggest, most pulverizing, in-your-face spectacle that you've ever experienced." -- culturevulture.net

King Kong (2005)84%

" The flashiest, funniest, and most baroque of the “Vengeance Trilogy.” It is also the most simpleminded and, despite that, eventually the most muddled." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Sep 30, 2005
 
Lady Vengeance (2005)75%

" Does not present any convincing evidence that Bruno is either so dense or so uncaring as to be remotely capable of selling his son on a whim" -- culturevulture.net

L'Enfant (2006)86%

" Pavlikovsky ends up falsifying everything his style was working so effectively to create, and only because he ultimately chose content over style." -- culturevulture.net

My Summer of Love (2005)92%

" It’s hard to take it as anything but unintended camp." -- culturevulture.net

House of Flying Daggers (2004)88%

" An hour in, everything in the movie is upended in a way that is not so much difficult to swallow as simply out of left field." -- culturevulture.net

Bad Education (2004)88%

" The plot contrivances on display are so silly that the theme is hard to take seriously on any rational level." -- culturevulture.net

Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)63%

" Given Irreversible's many plot contrivances -- it has an implausible accumulation of coincidences -- it may just be that Noé doesn't earn his shocks." -- culturevulture.net

" An empty exercise in style that will please no one but the most devout followers of P.T." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Oct 7, 2002
 
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)79%
/
 
" Has no real plot, composed of a mishmash of scenes thematically concerned with Crane's moral downfall. There is no build up or suspense." -- culturevulture.net

Auto Focus (2002)72%

" Watching this movie is like visiting a museum with two fey tour guides who lack any real insight." -- culturevulture.net

" Kirby’s egalitarian impulses get the best of him as he devotes time pretty evenly to each student regardless of how interesting they are individually." -- culturevulture.net
