In a rare attempt at novelty, July jets along with only Harry Potter and the Ice Age crew sampling continuing series spoils. The rest provide unknown pleasures. The PopMatters Summer 2009 Movie Preview  Film DVD ReviewNotoriousby Jesse Hassenger[24.Apr.09] :. More fan companion piece than galvanizing cinema, this stands at a distance too respectful to get under anyone's skin.  Short Ends and LeaderWhy Biopics Just Don’t Workby Bill Gibron[21.Apr.09] :. It’s not a hard genre to mess up. There are so many pre and post production hazards to overcome that the moviemaking winds up the easiest part - some of the time. Writers and directors have to...  Column: Busted HeadphonesBiggie Gives Us One More Chanceby Quentin B. Huff[16.Feb.09] :. Biggie Smalls' mythology hasn't afforded him a dreamy endgame à la Tupac or Elvis. Nobody imagines Biggie pulling the ultimate Machiavellian coup by making the world believe he's dead while he's secretly chillin' in Jamaica.  NewsQ&A with ‘Notorious’ star Jamal Woolardby Roger Moore [The Orlando Sentinel (MCT)][16.Jan.09] :. Before this month, Jamal Woolard was an obscure rapper going by the stage name of Gravy. And Gravy was best known for a 2006 shooting outside of a New York rap radio station. But that changes now.... Film ReviewNotoriousby Cynthia Fuchs[16.Jan.09] :. Notorious looks back on the day when hip-hop was coming into its seeming own, when telling stories was a way to make order from chaos, as well as money and, as Biggie saw it, mo problems. Eagle Eyeby Dan Heaton[14.Jan.09] :. This might pretend to criticize our increasing reliance on technology, but it’s really just the setting for a big dumb movie. The Movie Masochist: This movie thinks you’re dumbby James Franklin [McClatchy-Tribune News Service (MCT)][2.Oct.08] :. The 1960s and 1970s were the heyday of political thrillers. In these movies the people who ran the U.S. government were every bit as shady as you feared, and they were always up to something bad.... IMAX makes this ‘Eagle’ Soarby Bill Gibron[28.Sep.08] :. Beware of Big Brother…blah, blah, blah. You can’t pick up a publication nowadays, or listen to any number of broadcast pundits, and not hear about how the Bush Administration is violating... Talk, Talk, Talk: September 2008by Bill Gibron[9.Sep.08] :. From wars both past and present to a number of nail-biting thrillers, September is sizing up as a potentially profitable one. The Pay Off: The Best Film of 2006by PopMatters Staff[11.Jan.07] :. For many of the movies on PopMatters' 2006 list of the year's best films, it is clear that a heavy personal and professional stake was riding on the final product. We Are Marshall (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Dec.06] :. The film manages a complex range of feelings with a series of hackneyed characters, plot turns, and montages. Lots of montages. Crossover (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[1.Sep.06] :. Two best friends since childhood must come of age and in the process, redefine their friendship and save one another's necks. Half Nelson (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[11.Aug.06] :. Dan's take on history -- as concept and series of events -- has as much to do with his personal past as any ideological leanings. He sees history in motion, as ongoing questions. Freedomland (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[17.Feb.06] :. The new Samuel L. Jackson and Julianne Moore thriller is full of hauntings, institutional and personal. She Hate Me (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[24.Feb.05] :. As the last bill appears -- a three dollar 'bogus' bill featuring George W. Bush's face -- Spike Lee laughs. 'Hopefully, by the time you're seeing this DVD, he'll be out!'" Million Dollar Baby (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[17.Dec.04] :. With the peculiarly titled Million Dollar Baby, Clint Eastwood elicits yet another remarkable performance from a young actor. |
