42/100
 
"Religulous is no model for journalistic excellence, but it probably needn't be. It is more an opportunity for Maher to showcase his competent comic delivery than to win hearts and minds." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 19, 2008
 
Religulous (2008)n/a
/
42/100
 
"Too cute by half, filled with myriad forced moments of magic, O'Horten attempts to cast a nuanced spell, but ends up making rather little impression at all." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 19, 2008
 
O' Horten (2008)n/a
/
57/100
 
"It’s undeniable that the specificity relayed in every moment of the depiction of Lorna’s humdrum existence trumps the vagueness that surrounds her spiritual awakening." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 19, 2008
 
Le Silence de Lorna (2008)n/a
/
39/100
 
"It fails to turn its assemblage of stock footage and sarcastic observation into the grand summation of a place and era it would love to be." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 19, 2008
 
Of Time and the City (2008)n/a
/
46/100
 
"The camera’s ability to privilege the perspective of its wielder has rarely been abused as blatantly as it is in this film. This is a singularly self-serving work." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 19, 2008
 
Waltz with Bashir (2008)n/a
/
52/100
 
"In the end, Hawkins' vivid characterization alone justifies Happy-Go-Lucky. The hamfistedness of the script sadly undermines what probably should have registered as a towering performance." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 17, 2008
 
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)94%
/
65/100
 
"If Kaufman, like his protagonist, can't satisfactorily realize his masterpiece, it's not due to a lack of effort." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Synecdoche, New York (2008)n/a
/
60/100
 
"Elliott Lester's uncommonly assured debut feature, doesn't just shame most other teen dramas; it stands above most recent American independent films of any sort." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
Love Is the Drug (2006)60%
/
36/100
 
"Linha de Passe is a noble effort, sure to find favor with audiences predisposed to its message, but unenlightening for those who have seen such material handled with more skill." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 11, 2008
 
Linha de passe ()n/a
/
61/100
 
"What initially seems too blunt and too neatly constructed develops considerable texture as this particularly concise film unspools." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 11, 2008
 
Heaven's Heart (2008)n/a
/
43/100
 
"It fails to be the exploitation movie it desperately wants to be. Too much attention is paid to the tear-jerking elements, which never register because the plot is so sparse." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 11, 2008
 
Chocolate (2008)n/a
/
41/100
 
"Somewhat singular because of its sheer force of will, but ultimately puzzling, Il Divo is hard to discredit entirely, because it so clearly operates on its own terms." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 6, 2008
 
Il Divo (2008)n/a
/
33/100
 
"I want to believe this latest X-Files film was created for a reason other than financial reward, but I find it difficult to guess at what that reason might have been." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Aug 3, 2008
 
The X-Files: Fight the Future (1998)63%
/
53/100
 
"It announces Na Hong-jin as a filmmaker willing to go to places that even most so-called horror movies would shy away from." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 28, 2008
 
The Chaser (2008)n/a
/
39/100
 
"It doesn't name its characters, hoping to make the story seem allegorical, or at least elemental, but the result is a movie that just makes itself hopelessly generic." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
Delta (2008)n/a
/
51/100
 
"The sheer pervasiveness of corruption is eye-opening, and it justifies the narrative structure somewhat, but it seems a slight point to be making over the course of two and a half hours." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
Gomorra (2008)n/a
/
74/100
 
"Carpenter, a true master of horror, renders this tale with far more atmosphere than other directors have managed during the course of the television series." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
Masters of Horror - John Carpenter: Cigarette Burns (2005)n/a
/
76/100
 
"By frontloading the dramatic meat of the story, the film becomes less about shocking revelations or plot twists than the sometimes comic, sometimes serious dynamics of a family under extreme strain." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 22, 2008
 
A Christmas Tale (2008)n/a
/
85/100
 
"It is a supreme achievement in its genre. It doesn't transcend its comic book origins, but rather faithfully represents them, wholly unembarrassed to deliver its story on its own terms." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 20, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)94%
/
54/100
 
"It's a strong testament to its crowd-pleasing nature that I'd begrudgingly recommend the movie in spite of its conceptual and ideological shortcomings." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
The Class (2008)n/a
/
64/100
 
"Trapero eschews the predictable pleasures of the women-in-prison genre, always opting for introspection and diffusion over dramatic force." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Lion's Den (2008)n/a
/
77/100
 
"The film marks the latest entry in an oeuvre that has done a great deal to complicate our collective past." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
The Changeling (2008)n/a
/
60/100
 
"It's the very vague nature of these pop songs that universalizes them and makes them worth celebrating in this fashion." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 15, 2008
 
Mamma Mia! (2008)54%
/
69/100
 
"Viewing it on the big screen, with a blaring soundtrack, only amplifies the director's singular achievement." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 13, 2008
 
Ashes of Time Redux (2008)n/a
/
58/100
 
"A sharp departure into salacious territory for sugar-and-spice star Deanna Durbin" -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jul 13, 2008
 
Christmas Holiday (1944)n/a
/
68/100
 
" Corman's widescreen framing, the blazing Technicolor photography, and the effectively maximized production values created a convincing, if twisted, world." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 27, 2008
 
The Haunted Palace (1963)n/a
/
77/100
 
"His elaborate sound design, skillfully deployed comic effects, and sophisticated visual minimalism suggest the work of a master of the form." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 23, 2008
 
Everything Will Be OK (2006)n/a
/
27/100
 
"The whole experience of watching this is tense, dehumanizing, and fairly baffling." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 23, 2008
 
Opium: Diary of a Madwoman (2007)n/a
/
38/100
 
"Ultimately a feature-length tease, the movie remarkably insubstantial and uninvolving for something that tries so desperately to live in the moment." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 19, 2008
 
Cloverfield (2008)77%
/
66/100
 
"Lindsay Anderson's boldly allegorical drama If... features a sly script that very slowly reveals just how strongly it is protesting against authority." -- MovieMartyr.com

If... (1969)96%
/
31/100
 
"It calls out the clichés of its genre only to end up willingly indulging in them more often than not." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 16, 2008
 
Love and Other Disasters (2006)n/a
/
41/100
 
"Both less inventive and less substantial than it seems to think it is, this would-be epic suffers from the comparisons it prompts as it references a series of silent classics." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 16, 2008
 
The Aerial (2007)60%
/
64/100
 
"The director employs his entire bag of tricks to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, from shock cuts and loud chords on the soundtrack to performances that devour the scenery." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 10, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)49%
/
55/100
 
"To complain that Andersson's skits are difficult or boring to sit through because they seem too close to the pain of daily life is to pay them some kind of a compliment." -- MovieMartyr.com

You, The Living (2007)100%
/
29/100
 
"For now, the best that can be said about Zvyagintsev is that he seems like he could potentially be a master filmmaker someday, even if he's still not made a good movie." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 10, 2008
 
The Banishment (2007)56%

56/100
 
"Ultimately, The Mourning Forest is not so much flawed as it is unable to create a very powerful impression." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 10, 2008
 
Mogari no Mori (2007)60%
/
82/100
 
"The product of a director in complete control of his talents, Second Breath musters enough depth that by its conclusion it feels only nominally like a heist film." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 9, 2008
 
Le Deuxieme Souffle (1966)100%

43/100
 
"Ratliff never acknowledges that his audience has likely seen this setup dozens of times before, making the film feel laborious and unsurprising." -- MovieMartyr.com

Lust, Caution (2007)70%

Schindler's Houses (2007)n/a
/
46/100
 
"Ultimately, Happiness seems most distinctive not as a specific director's work, but rather as an entry in a distinctly Korean melodramatic subgenre." -- MovieMartyr.com
Posted Jan 9, 2008
 
Happiness (2007)n/a
/
76/100
 
"In this day and age, its stripped down incisiveness is nearly unfathomable." -- MovieMartyr.com

Margot at the Wedding (2007)51%

53/100
 
"Tsai's style is essentially written in stone at this point, and [this] hardly challenges it. [He] is as visually adept here as ever, right up to the film's peaceful final shot." -- MovieMartyr.com

I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)88%

The Magic Flute (2006)69%

81/100
 
"Despite non-stop horror and perversity, nothing in the movie seems gratuitous. Its vision remains so comprehensive and convincing that it justifies everything that it puts you through." -- MovieMartyr.com

Taxidermia (2006)79%

55/100
 
"It confronts the viewer with several questions that cannot be easily answered, providing considerable food for thought." -- MovieMartyr.com

"With the political message of Persepolis considerably softened, the overall effect is dulled significantly." -- MovieMartyr.com

Persepolis (2007)96%

"Beyond the Years suggests, rather simplemindedly, that purity of heart and endless practice are the keys to a great performance." -- MovieMartyr.com

Beyond the Years (2007)n/a
/
86/100
 
"Like a city symphony film viewed under a microscope, Nathaniel Dorsky’s rapturous non-narrative work Song and Solitude abstracts the everyday in revelatory ways." -- MovieMartyr.com

Song and Solitude (2006)n/a
