PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2007  Film DVD ReviewNextby Bill Gibron[5.Oct.07] :. Suspense and that familiar adrenaline rush come with creativity, not clock crunching. Next fails to fully understand this, and ends up paying for it in the end.  Film ReviewI Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[20.Jul.07] :. Ving Rhames gets that Duncan can be gay, and not have to be a fulltime "flamer," in the film's parlance. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007)by Bill Gibron[20.Jul.07] :.

Monkey Business (Part 3: July)by Bill Gibron[3.May.07] :. Finally, a month with only one remaining series contender. All wizard based Potter-y aside, this will be the most tenuous time for the business called show. After a strong start, the eccentric collection of entertainments here could make or break this potentially record shattering motion picture season. Next (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[27.Apr.07] :. The film doesn’t try to explain or rationalize its essential trick, but drops you rather perfunctorily into Cris' multiple dilemmas. The Illusionist (2006)by Jarrett Berman[29.Jan.07] :. This charming film occupies a place somewhere between Merchant Ivory and M. Night Shyamalan. Home of the Brave (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Dec.06] :.

The Illusionist (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[18.Aug.06] :. If The Illusionist's allegory isn't subtle, it is timely: those who seem authorities are illusionists, administering by entertainments. Elizabethtown: Widescreen Special Collector’s Edition (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Feb.06] :. The DVD of Elizabethtown is called the Widescreen Special Collector's Edition, though there's not one thing special about it. Elizabethtown (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Oct.05] :. Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown does not know how to end. Stealth (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[29.Jul.05] :.
