Articles tagged "christopher walken" Film ReviewBalls of Furyby Bill Gibron[31.Aug.07] :. What really gives the cinematic pallet a high-quality cleansing is a ripe old fashioned dose of certifiable stupid.  Film ReviewHairspray (2007) (2007)by Todd R. Ramlow[20.Jul.07] :. Hairspray doesn't just replay Waters' film, it extends and complicates the original parody. Featured ArticleFilm ReviewHairspray (2007)by Bill Gibron[20.Jul.07] :. When Hairspray is good, it’s fantastic. It radiates an energy and a joy that’s beyond infectious.  DVD Film ReviewDomino: New Line Platinum Series (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[28.Mar.06] :. Domino maps mythology, not as a means to heroic or sympathetic characters, and certainly not to narrative resolution.  DVD Film ReviewWedding Crashers (2005)by Dante A. Ciampaglia[3.Mar.06] :. The 40 Year-Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers might have made it safe for adults to go back to big-screen comedies in 2005, but it was the latter that reminded those viewers that adulthood doesn't mean growing up -- at least in the traditional sense.  Film ReviewDomino (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Oct.05] :. Imagine Mallory Knox as her own reality tv show star, less inclined to take up with the absolutely wrong man, and able to handle her mascara like a pro. Wedding Crashers (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Jul.05] :. Usually, a little Vaughn goes a long way, but here he serves as welcome respite from Wilson's cloying romantic lead. Around the Bend (2004)by Kevin Jagernauth[24.May.05] :. Henry's instructions bring Turner and Jason to important landmarks that dredge up memories and force them to face events that have haunted their lives. The Stepford Wives (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[8.Nov.04] :. Director Frank Oz asserts, 'There is no such a thing as Stepford. Stepford is in the mind.'" Man on Fire (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Sep.04] :. Tony Scott enthuses, 'I had such a brilliant smorgasbord of really odd, strange personalities and different looks.'" The Stepford Wives (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[17.Jun.04] :. Joanna's paucity of spirit is odiously illustrated during the first five minutes of The Stepford Wives. Envy (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[29.Apr.04] :. Scheduled to open a year ago, Envy is as dopey, uninventive, and smug as you'd expect from a movie that's 'all from shit'. Man on Fire (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Apr.04] :. Man on Fire means to distress. Punctuated by mobile subtitles and assaultive editing, the movie underlines the daily threat of living in places where kidnapping is a sort of business, organized and ongoing. Gigli (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[9.Dec.03] :. It's tempting to imagine what extras might have been like for a Gigli DVD, given that the film received what had to be the most vehement critical drubbing of any released this past year. The Rundown (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[25.Sep.03] :. The Rock doesn't want to hurt 'em, but he just can't help it. Gigli (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[1.Aug.03] :. His hair slicked back, his face set in an expression resembling impassivity, Larry Gigli (Ben Affleck) tends to philosophize with his marks. Kangaroo Jack (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[16.Jan.03] :. Most often cast as sidekicks, Anthony Anderson has shown repeatedly that he can perform rings around supposed stars. Catch Me If You Can (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[26.Dec.02] :. Steven Spielberg's zippy new film is about the kind of 'truth' that might only be apprehended in its telling. The Affair of the Necklace (2001)by F.L. CarrIt really sucks to be poor and of no social consequence, especially once you have had a taste of nobility and luxury. |
