"Fails to engage" -- culturevulture.net
Posted Jan 17, 2004
 
Big Fish (2003)76%
/
 
"Much of the story unfolds with the careful, deliberate pacing of the best silent films, and the action ranges from kitchen sink realism to outlandish fantasy." -- culturevulture.net

Posted May 2, 2002
 
Manhattan (1979)97%
/
 
"Crackles with a level of wit and sexual innuendo that makes you wish they still made sex comedies for adults." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Apr 12, 2002
 
The Lady Eve (1941)100%
/
 
"A flair for tone and character, as well as capturing the look and feel of LA rather than that of Hollywood." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Feb 12, 2002
 
Training Day (2001)72%
/
 
"Seamlessly blends fact, legend, and outright fiction to create an exhilarating, genuinely scary, and at times moving film." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Jan 14, 2002
 
The Brotherhood of the Wolf (2002)72%
/
 
"An energetic and cinematic, but ultimately frustrating, attempt to breathe new life into that most hackneyed of plot devices: the love triangle." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Dec 24, 2001
 
Jules And Jim (1962)97%
/

Singin' in the Rain (1952)100%
/
 
"Every five or ten minutes the audience is treated to a riveting dance number set to some of the greatest tunes of George and Ira Gershwin." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Dec 5, 2001

/
 
"A sparkling comedy of manners." -- culturevulture.net

A Night at the Opera (1935)97%
/
 
"Just like its hero, the film is operatic and grandiose in places, shambling and inarticulate in others, but always intensely watchable." -- culturevulture.net
Posted Aug 6, 2001
 
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)95%
/
 
"It has always been easier to make films about misery than about happiness, for happiness is so un-cinematic, so devoid of conflict. But Local Hero is a rare and welcome exception." -- culturevulture.net
