Articles tagged "peter falk" Film DVD ReviewNextby Bill Gibron[5.Oct.07] :. Suspense and that familiar adrenaline rush come with creativity, not clock crunching. Next fails to fully understand this, and ends up paying for it in the end.  Film ReviewNext (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[27.Apr.07] :. The film doesn’t try to explain or rationalize its essential trick, but drops you rather perfunctorily into Cris' multiple dilemmas.  Film DVD ReviewBig Trouble (1986)by Chris Robé[18.Aug.03] :. Flimsy and frustrating, Big Trouble suggests that Cassavetes finally gave up on reality.  Film ReviewUndisputed (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Aug.02] :. Masculinity, integrity, brutality: Walter Hill's usual themes.  Film ReviewMade (2001)by Cynthia FuchsTo aid him on his travels, Bobby (Jon Favreau) takes Ricky, his childhood friend, boxing partner (they're introduced fighting each other in some cheap venue, for piddling money), and notorious fuck-up. Ricky is played by the affable (when not bar-brawling) Vince Vaughn, who also produced 'Made', and who, in 1996, starred with Favreau in 'Swingers', the film that made them both bankable properties.  Film ReviewCorky Romano (2001)by Kevin Devine'Corky Romano' is a limp, set 'em up and knock 'em down barrage of hijinx and horseshit that proves definitively that Chris Kattan's shtick is barely big enough to carry a 90-second trailer, let alone a 90-minute movie. |
