The Commitments (1991)

Reviewed on Sep 26, 2006

Really good musical performances. Strong is a very interesting, very talented singer. Amazing that he was only 17… Interesting backstory to the film. Rowan’s appearance is very cool.

Transamerica (2005)

Reviewed on Sep 24, 2006

Huffman is good. A woman playing a man playing a woman is a novel idea, and she pulls it off. A completely unselfish, emotional performance. Zegers is impressive, too.

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

Reviewed on Sep 23, 2006

Each scene is shot and scored like it is the climax of the movie when there’s really nothing going on at all. What you end up with is an extremely boring movie without a story and full of anticlimaxes. The excruciatingly slow camera movements and still shots lull you to…

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

Reviewed on Sep 4, 2006

Was it even a comedy? It’s like they went into each scene without a script or any clue what they were going to improvise. You know the writing is bad when the outtakes are funnier than the movie. And the outtakes weren’t even that funny. If anything, this movie was…

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

Reviewed on Sep 4, 2006

Dark and nostaligic, a lot like Anderson’s Rushmore or Royal Tenebaums, although not quite as dramatically or stylistically over the top, so it sits in that uncomfortable “Is this supposed to be funny or is this supposed to be real?” zone a few times. The horn scene had me crying……
