PopMatters proffers its collection of 2007's most notable defective faves. And it's okay to laugh. After all, we'd probably do the same to you and your uncomfortable fixations as well. PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2007  Film ReviewSouthland Talesby Cynthia Fuchs[14.Nov.07] :. The very incoherence of Southland Tales is something like an argument, its many pieces and pronouncements a deconstructive challenge to world order.  TV DVD ReviewNewsRadio - The Complete Fifth Seasonby Marisa LaScala[21.Mar.07] :. There must be some kind of NewsRadio curse that keeps its actors from ever turning in a comedic performance better than the ones on this show. NewsYeah, stand-up’s the ticket: Jon Lovitz hits the comedy circuitby Patrick S. Pemberton [McClatchy Newspapers][30.Oct.06] :. As Tommy Flanagan, Jon Lovitz was the pathological liar who insisted he was a senator, the man who penned “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” for the Rolling Stones and Morgan...  Film ReviewThe Benchwarmers (2006)by Jesse Hassenger[14.Apr.06] :. It's a shame that tee-heeing at gayness couldn't be jettisoned for the kids, rather than re-emphasized.  Film ReviewThe Producers (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Dec.05] :. No one can be wholly ruined in a big fat sardonic musical, a form demanding grandeur, gaucheness, and above all, giddy delights. Unfortunately, this movie musical rather forgets the movie part. 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.'" 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. The Critic: The Complete Seriesby Jesse Hassenger[23.Feb.04] :. Jon Lovitz's alter ego allows for his two biggest strengths as a performer: sarcasm and ironic overacting. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[4.Sep.03] :. David Spade movies are pathetic by definition. Small Time Crooksby Lucas Hilderbrand[19.May.00] :. Allen’s best work achieved greatness by being more than funny —by revealing or capturing something more substantive about human relationships. With Small Time Crooks, the substance comes from the unexpected satire of class differences that gets at something truer than a mere fish-out-of-water story. 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)by Cynthia FuchsEven the magnetic Ice T -- who has about three minutes on screen as a super-sneery mercenary and who has notoriously bad taste when it comes to picking scripts -- looks like he's made an unusually bad decision with '3000 Miles to Graceland'. Cats & Dogs (2001)by Tracy McLooneIn 'Cats & Dogs', the colors are a little too bright, everything is a bit too perfect. And all is not as swell as the humans would think: it's 'American Beauty' for pets. |
