Unlike previous years, where classics came crawling out of the celluloid woodwork with regular reckless abandon, 2008 was more calm… and considered. That's not to say that choosing 30 top titles was hard. The difficulty in placing them in some manner of rank order suggests the actual depth of quality involved. PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2008  Film DVD ReviewThe Final Seasonby Jake Meaney[2.May.08] :. This is a well-intentioned little film with its heart in the right place, and everything else out of whack.  Film ReviewForbidden Kingdomby Cynthia Fuchs[22.Apr.08] :. In The Forbidden Kingdom, Lu Yan instructs the boy in ancient wisdom and martial arts, offering up the occasional Mr. Miyagi-ism.  Film ReviewSnow Angelsby Cynthia Fuchs[13.Mar.08] :. At its center, and much like David Gordon Green's other movies, Snow Angels is about faith.  Column: Out of ContextZ-Boys, Cool Losersby Ryan Smith[13.Jun.07] :. The underlying motivation to save Horizons West was about Sticking It to The Man. Us versus Them. Punk culture versus conformist culture. Poor against rich. All, interestingly enough, attitudes heavy in the subtext of the Z-Boys movies.  Film DVD ReviewSky High (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[29.Nov.05] :. Though Layla brings some sense of complexity to the proceedings, she's generally undermined by the film's straightforward charging. Dear Wendy (2005)by Todd R. Ramlow[9.Oct.05] :. It's difficult to resist getting all psychoanalytic on Dear Wendy, as it is excessively Freudian in its phallic imagery. Sky High (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[29.Jul.05] :. This cartoony coming out story soon gives way to a cartoony straightening out story. Lords of Dogtown (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[3.Jun.05] :. The most thrilling moments in Lords of Dogtown involve skateboard wheels. |
