BRIDGE TO TARABITHIA :)
No huge effects, but
it's best such things are left to
Imagination.
|
SHORTBUS :)
For an x-rated
yet non-pornographic film,
it's pretty kinky.
|
FLIRTING :)
With all the caning,
loneliness, fights and insults,
I'd call it "Hurting."
|
SICKO
%}
The strongest critics
will simply ad hominem
and refuse treatment.
|
EVENING
:)
"There are no mistakes,"
they say, but try telling that
to those who make them.

NIGHT
AT THE MUSEUM :|
Sure, it's a kids' film,

films to make some sense.

AVENUE MONTAIGNE :)
And here, all this time,

from death, and Ana Pascal
from taxes? Just watch!
|
AN
AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON %}
The alpha wolf of
tragicomedy horrors.

SCENT
OF A WOMAN :)
A feel-good movie
for that dirty old blind man
inside all of us.
|
PERFORMANCE %}
A brutal, tender,
weird, prophetic fantasy
for our modern world.
|
TENACIOUS D IN 'THE PICK OF DESTINY'
:)
A collapsed prequel
to the greatest rock story
ever told, bar none.
|
JACKASS 2 :|
It seems Jackass One
didn't feature quite enough
damaged private parts.
|
THE
U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON :)
This film's style is too
"VH-1 behind the scenes"
for such a great man.
|
THE

Eerily follows
the director's obsession
with a blue filter.

the scarefrog, Kansas...
|
NOTES
ON A SCANDAL :)
A fairly normal
everyday kind of scandal,
as these dramas go.
|
PAN'S
LABYRINTH :|
Artistic genius
is sometimes overwhelmed by
gross stupidity.
|
THE OPPOSITE OF SEX :)
Quirky narration
by a most [un]likable
[pro]antagonist.
|
THE
GREAT WHITE :)
Kind of like Fargo,
but slightly less disgusting
and much more kooky.

THE GOOD SHEPHERD :)
One man's history
of spies. (Or so the Russians

Ironically,
if Hollywood made this film
