Articles tagged "joel schumacher" Film ReviewThe Number 23 (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Feb.07] :. The movie is at least nominally aware of the silliness of its device, that the finding of 23s in every frame is a game, that the meanings are more about readers' needs than some grand plan of the universe.  Film ReviewThe Phantom of the Opera (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Dec.04] :. You might read this as a not-so-subtle indictment of the bourgie masses who consume popular culture: their taste sucks.  Film DVD ReviewThe Lost Boys: Special Edition (1987)by Nikki Tranter[13.Oct.04] :. While director Joel Schumacher may not have made a perfectly genre-breaking, horror-comedy mix, he got the 'hip' part right.  Film ReviewVeronica Guerin (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[16.Oct.03] :. Such moments illustrate Veronica's earnest incentive while undermining her hard work with crazily implausible coincidences.  Film DVD ReviewPhone Booth (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Jul.03] :. We're surrounded by spin all the time and I think that many times people who spin for a living really don't know the truth anymore because, I guess, they have to believe so much in the spin that they are spinning. Film ReviewPhone Booth (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[3.Apr.03] :. A function of increasing anxieties about security, surveillance technology, and loss of privacy, this sniper is symptomatic. Tigerland (2000/2001)by Lesley M. Smith'Tigerland' turns that same step of acknowledging a responsibility greater than oneself into a personal defeat, the inevitable breaking of a rebel. Flawless (1999)by Rhonda BaughmanThese are the first of many derogatory adjectives that come to my mind when trying to describe writer-director Joel Schumacher's new film, Flawless, which stars Robert DeNiro and Philip Seymour Hoffman (the latter being one of my favorite character actors, who has, sadly, two recent misses with Flawless and The Talented Mr. Ripley). |
