Articles tagged "matt dillon" Film DVD ReviewNothing But the Truthby Jesse Hassenger[30.Apr.09] :. By the time the focus tightens onto Armstrong's jail time, the movie turns righteous and, it must be said, a little tedious.  NewsHollywood, race and the Age of Obamaby Christopher Kelly [McClatchy Newspapers (MCT)][26.Dec.08] :. Gook. Dragon lady. Swamp rats. These are but a few of the cringe-inducing racial epithets spewed by Clint Eastwood’s Walt Kowalski in “Gran Torino,” the cringe-inducing new drama...  Film ReviewNothing But the Truthby Cynthia Fuchs[22.Dec.08] :. Rod Lurie's Nothing But the Truth looks at the compromises and complications that shape the "truth" in legal systems, media collusions, and politics in DC.  Film ReviewYou, Me and Dupree (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Jul.06] :. This impossible place -- most desired object and least elucidated subject -- makes Molly typical of the women in white guy romcoms.  Film ReviewOnce in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Jul.06] :. Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos is an adoring, disco-accompanied, bright-lighted look back at a brief moment when soccer was popular in the States.  Film DVD ReviewHerbie: Fully Loaded (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[24.Oct.05] :. Angela Robinson says the movie shows the 'scope and the joy of being a contender, more than winning, necessarily.' That Herbie allows this 'scope and joy' for a girl driver is mostly delightful. The Outsiders: The Complete Novel (1983)by Michael Christopher[21.Oct.05] :. Rarely does a director's cut reflect a vision 'truer' to a source text. But, like most everything else surrounding the picture, The Outsiders: The Complete Novel is quite an anomaly. Over the Edge (1979)by Nikki Tranter[11.Oct.05] :. Revisiting Over the Edge is always an education, especially if you grew up watching it repeatedly, as I did. Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[24.Jun.05] :.

The Big Town (1987)by Kevin Jagernauth[23.May.05] :. In Cullen's rise to the top, he summarily steps on everyone who tries to help him or slow him down. Crash (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[6.May.05] :. The lesson seems geared toward those viewers who were surprised by the Rodney King video, that is, people who don't regularly deal with cultural collisions. There’s Something More About Mary (1998)by Cynthia Fuchs[30.Jun.03] :. It's easy to deride the Farrellys' work, to dismiss their brand of humor or their dogged efforts to be 'politically incorrect.' Still, they serve more substantive functions than dosing 12-year-old boys with chickens-up-the-butt jokes. City of Ghosts (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[8.May.03] :. A strangely moralistic romance, premised on his relationship with the setting, Cambodia. One Night at McCool’s (2001)by Cynthia FuchsAny movie that offers proud big bully Andrew Dice Clay as a walking joke, however self-knowing or smug, is starting at a disadvantage.
