Films that have left a lasting impression on their creators (M. Night Shyamalan, Sam Mendes, David Fincher) make up the majority of Part Three of our Films of 1999 overview. Decade-Dense: The 60 Most Memorable Films of 1999  PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2007 FeatureAccepting the Blame: The Top Guilty Pleasures of 2007by PopMatters Staff[17.Jan.08] :. 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 ReviewThree Moons Over Milfordby Michael Abernethy[10.Aug.06] :. Yet another 'quirky small town' series, Three Moons over Milford offers conventional characters: newly divorced mother, troublesome but good-hearted kids, and attractive love interest.  Film ReviewNational Lampoons Pucked (2006)by Jarrett Berman[3.Mar.06] :. Bereft of comic chops, Jon Bon Jovi must carry scenes exclusively on the basis of his good looks, which works for about 10 minutes.  Film DVD ReviewThe Hebrew Hammer (2003)by Kevin Jagernauth[24.Nov.04] :. The Hammer remains confused and conflicted, almost apologetic for who he is. The Laws of Attraction (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Aug.04] :. All this back-and-forth is tedious, in part because it means that Audrey and Daniel spend a lot of time together. The Laws of Attraction (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[29.Apr.04] :. Daniel inhabits a universe where his judgments, his desires, and his insights (no matter how obnoxious, self-serving, or willfully blind) are always right. Three Kings (1999)by Cynthia FuchsPuke green bile, dark blood, convulsing pink. tissue. A close-up shot following a bullet's path into and through internal organs is a frankly terrible image. In most war movies, bullets do tend to fly. But you only see their external effects: blood spurts, faces contort, handheld cameras zig and zag, explosions-effects create aestheticized, often slo-mo, chaos. In David O. Russell's Three Kings, however, you see the insides: the bullet rushes forward, stops, lodging in mangled, throbbing flesh while fluids accumulate. It's visceral and immediate. It's surreal and nasty. |
