Articles tagged "amy smart" Short Ends and Leader‘Mirrors’ Reflects Aja’s Rising Starby Bill Gibron[29.Aug.08] :. If we weren’t already aware of Hollywood’s brain dead inability to fashion such a conspiracy, one would swear that Tinsel Town was out to destroy horror once and for all. Their weapon of...  The PopMatters Summer 2008 Movie Preview FeatureThe Return of the Popcorn Circus: August 2008by Bill Gibron[1.May.08] :. Talk about a crowded schedule. There are more offerings scheduled this month than in the previous two combined. The PopMatters Summer 2008 Movie Preview  TV ReviewSmithby Cynthia Fuchs[19.Sep.06] :. Faces are hard to read in Smith. Sometimes, this inscrutability is obvious, even exaggerated.  Film DVD ReviewBigger than the Sky (2005)by Nikki Tranter[2.Sep.05] :. Bigger than the Sky starts off with its heart in the right place and ends up with almost none at all.  Film ReviewStarsky & Hutch (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[4.Mar.04] :. Who could have anticipated that Snoop would be the saving grace of a major studio buddy flick?"  Film ReviewThe Butterfly Effect (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Jan.04] :. Evan is hooked on revising his past until he gets it right (not an unlikely metaphor for scriptwriting). The Battle of Shaker Heights (2003)by Frances Katz[4.Sep.03] :.

Road Trip (2000)by Aaron LeckliderMost of the humor in Road Trip depends upon the audience identifying with the characters' sexual anxiety. Rat Race (2001)by Cynthia FuchsA balls-out stupid summer comedy where no one cares about special effects or plots making sense or even about characters winning or losing is not a bad thing. It is, rather, a representative thing. Rat Race (2001)by James SnapkoIt's full of pratfalls, sight gags, and irreverence toward 'I Love Lucy', Nazis, body piercing, a very unlucky cow, and a dog. Fortunately, Zucker executes them all like a ringmaster. Outside Providence (1999)by Rhonda BaughmanOutside Providence begins in a lackluster manner, situating itself in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1974. Tim Dunphy (Shawn Hatosy) just wants to party, but his overbearing, emotionally secretive father, (Alec Baldwin), is not quite hip to the idea of teenage insolence. The generation gap becomes more of a pit, when Tim manages to rear end a parked police car. A slap to the face is the result, as well as a trip to the Cornwall Prep School for Boys. Bummer. |
