Articles tagged "kristen wiig" Short Ends and LeaderAdventureland: Bastards of Youngby Chris Barsanti[8.Apr.09] :. A loping comedy of displacement that snaps off dozens of easy laughs without breaking a sweat, Adventureland transcends the indie comedy trap by dint of not being content merely to capture its milieu but to animate it.  Film ReviewAdventurelandby Renee Scolaro Mora[3.Apr.09] :. Adventureland is as tidy and predictable as it sounds. And it falls into that annoying trap that seems to plague this sort of film, relying on an unrelenting '80s soundtrack to set tones and cue plot points.  Film ReviewGhost Townby Cynthia Fuchs[19.Sep.08] :. As you endure Ghost Town's unfunny "unfinished business," you can't help but be thankful for Téa Leoni's precision and classically screwballish physicality.  Short Ends and Leader‘Ghost Town’ is a Little Gemby Bill Gibron[19.Sep.08] :. Hollywood used to excel at what could best be described as the “little” movie. You know the type - small in scope, limited in appeal, and never overreaching beyond its certain purpose....  The PopMatters Fall 2008 Movie Preview FeatureTalk, 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 PopMatters Fall 2008 Movie Preview  Film DVD ReviewWalk Hard: The Dewey Cox Storyby Evan Sawdey[9.Apr.08] :. Whatever flaws this Apatow-produced genre parody may carry, it's all forgotten when you're presented with a DVD overstuffed with extras that are almost as funny as the movie itself. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Storyby Cynthia Fuchs[21.Dec.07] :. How hilarious, you can imagine someone pitching, the word "Cox," repeated over and over, makes for all sorts of double entendres. The Brothers Solomonby Tricia Olszewski[7.Sep.07] :. The jumble of styles would be a momentum-killer even if the jokes did work, but an overwhelming number don't. Monkey Business (Part 4: August)by Bill Gibron[4.May.07] :. In past years, Hollywood purposely counter programmed these renowned Cineplex dog days, trying to offset the perception that cinematic scraps were all the studios had to offer. From the look of this lame list, it's apparently back to the filmic fridge for some patently warmed over offerings. |
